Are the two sections of the tire work on a slight slant....like a retaining wall? But the back walls are plum? I have his books.but they don't talk about the global model but he goes threw and acknowledges the retaining wall? Im gonna build an earthship but cut down on the tirework by using his method in the studio e.s....by digging the floor out a ft from the bottom and reinforcing it with insulation rebar and cement.
Bro i give you mad props! keep it up, and keep the updates coming . These are the only videos i see were anyone goes into as much detail as youself . Its GREAT! I plan on doing whats in the making for you. Very good inspiration Man
I'm concerned about a frozen cistern in a cold climate. 18" frost line? Mine is 6.5' What difference does the frost line make if the cistern riser is kind of open air? In Taos, even the average high in January is above freezing. The cistern has that open hole, probably to allow the pressure out when drawing water. How does that work when it's -30F, -40F, or even -45F? It makes sense to insulate the cistern a lot? R-40? Should I get a 1.9 meter high riser?

would it be faster to pour cement into the tires instead of pounding dirt into them?

i am interested in this, how wide is the buttress?

Do the buttresses have rebar in them as well? If so, are they just vertical, or in a cage pattern like the front footing?
Awesome videos!
