what kind of moisture barrier are you using between the mounded up earth and the blocks?I know growing up there were homes like these built but they had a problem with water sweating through the blocks.I've always liked the thermal mass idea but wondered how they overcame the condensation problem.shoot me back a reply on this if you can please i'd like to learn more
@tappakeggaday1 My wife is actually the foreman on this job. From what I understand you lay down a thick plastic sheet which acts as a moisture barrier and then throw dirt on top of it. Seems pretty simplistic to me but according to the books it works and the plastic is pretty much non destructible. thanks,
Hey Herod. Please provide more pictures. How are you doing these days? When do you think you will move in? Are you willing to shre the cost of the project?
I am investigating an Earth ship of our own in Canada. Please reply. I am pretty serious but a little scared. I would love to discuss this with you if you are willing.
