Earthship Construction, Half Tires for blocks

Steel Cased rubber tire booted through steel casing with lags. Much more affordable than concrete and wood block. Very stable. We cut through the rim bead with bolt cutters and sawed through the tread at a 45 degree angle. If you don't add the 45 you need a new blade every tire. With the angle you can get about 7 tires cit.
