Our house is constructed from trash. It is a monolithic building constructed from old tires, cans, bottles, and lots of earth. We used plans from Michael Reynolds the architect of sustainable Earthships. http://www.genrefluent.com/earthshi.htm

cani come to your house and take all your tabs?

How much did they pay you, per tyre, to take them?

the inspector in my town would shit his pants if I put anything like this on the plans! I had it out with him just trying to use steel for my interior steps, rather then wood.

@OldSchoolSkill Thank you for the kind words. We love living in our earthship and sharing anything we've learned on the way with anyone who is interested.

how did you stack the materials? Did you just use dirt and water?

@CuriousKimification The first row of tires is put on the ground then 300 to 350 lbs. of dirt is sledge hammered in until they puff up like an inflated tire. The next row of empty tires is places on top of them with a half tire offset. The rows subsequent to the first get a chunk of cardboard in the bottom to keep the dirt from falling through and then the filling & sledge hammering again. Find the Earthship Books by Michael Reynolds for more info. Great house to live in. Love it!

If you buy a house like this one in the Netherlands.
On a small piece of ground.
You pay one million euros. (At least)
1 million Euro, is 1.21 million U.S. Dollar
And then you will pay every year about 11.000 Euro = 14.360 US Dollar. tax

@jantjesjantje Wow! I'm blessed to live in a less expensive area of the world. There is just a lot more land available here but we don't have a lot of the amenities you have in the Netherlands so we end up paying more for medical and transportation costs (I loved the train system when I visited the Netherlands).
