  • Mano velho, que excepcional vídeo. Agora, eu gostaria que tu me jurasse que isso é mesmo seguro já que, pelo que vi, é somente saco plástico (ráfia, creio eu) e terra.

    Estou pensando em construir algo do tipo mas por falta de experiência tenho algum receio.

    Forte abraço e sucesso para vocês.

  • Housing makes millions of people political pawns. When you break your time spent in your home in a typical week it is minimal keep it minimal. That is why I feel most houses that are nothing short of musuem pieces that rarely are used. They build these caverns that are heated and cooled year around for no one to use. Michael Jackson went broke trying to maintain a home that was beyond his means.MDI Eco shells are less work to build and can be transported some after construction. Plse open mind

  • pretty cool, but I still want an earthship.
