  • How is any of this free? Just don't lie to us.

  • IT HAD TO BE AN ELECTRIC OR WATER COMPANY THAT HIT~DIS-LIKE!!!!

  • Can these be made in northern states, for instance... New Hampshire? If not what would be ideal earth shelter in NH?

  • @faebaesite You can find plans that are very similar to this design, at least for the structure. For the plumbing for the planters and black water I am not sure.

  • IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE! LIVING IN HOUSES LIKE THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EESE!!

  • So amazing! I am truly inspired! Thank you for sharing!

  • I think the idea is beautiful, but was severely turned off when I called and learned that just the plans cost around $8k...that's just for "plans". The whole idea should not only be about living freely, off grid & in alignment with nature, but to make it feasible for anyone. These homes are ridiculously overpriced especially when it's supposed to be an alternative. No utility bills should be a bonus, not a reason to jack up the price. I can pound dirt in a tire all day for free.

  • @berettaNZ It can also be built in a few weeks.

  • @berettaNZ You do not need to be wealthy to live like this. Arid land is dirt cheap, lol, in many parts of the country. A home like this can be built for a small fraction of the cost of a conventional home and can be maintained with water and electricity for next to nothing.
