This is just a small part of the overall home design. It is 314 sq feet. The walls are covered with papercrete. We are going to move into it for the winter, and then add more when spring comes again. Check progress at http://www.montelloalpacacompany.blogspot.com

  • I love it. Where are you located?  How much land and cost is involved. Can have animals there? What kind of taxes. Do you have neighbors? Was the building code a problem? Be well. Thanks for the videos and good luck with your plans.

  • @Hobohube We are in Elko county Nevada, near the town of Montello. It is in the northeast corner of Nevada near the Utah and Idaho border. Land can easily be purchased around $400 and acre. Property taxes are very low. For twenty acres you can expect to pay $25 a year. With improvements that will go up a little. We are not having our building inspected and it is not a problem.

  • Great job! I have considered doing the earth bag concept

  • IMPORTANT MUST SEE!!! What if you could build a Monolithic dome with 2,600 sq ft of living space, costs 10% of a the average home to build, and provides protection and efficiency from its 24in thick wall? Watch "A HOME FIT FOR ROYALTY"

  • I wouldn't give out personal information like that, this guy is phishing or scamming you. Also be advised that if you haven't any permits for your project this guy could also be paying you a visit to put a stop work order on you.

    Just my 2 cents.

  • importante esse passo na costrução do super adobe nem sempre é gravado!

  • I am leaning towards purchasing some property 4 mi SW of Elko. I would love to build an earthbag home in that area. Not sure on where/how to start a process like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you don't mind I would like to stay in your ear and pick your brain to find out how I can make this a reality.
