Want to Build an Off Grid Home for less than $10,000? Try this

Why would you use something like tires if you really believe in an all natural life and environment?

He might want to do a little more science first

Viability question, what would labor costs for this project be?

You're only going to have one room?

How do you generate income?

This video NEEDS to show the final product of all of this labor. Otherwise it is just talk and tires.

Mike Reynolds is who started it all. If you haven't seen his homes check it out

Thank you for sharing.

You would think the world government’s would be pushing fir this instead of there own agendas being that its better , but no because its has nothing to do with saving the earth its control

I know at some point in my life, I will undertake a huge project like this, maybe in New mexico with the other people. If people got word someone was making some new huge prototype earthship then people would help maybe. I am kind of a perfectionist but I think this would be a great idea. People are spending too much money somehow though, I mean 200k for what ?. A fully furnished home, sure. I am thinking something with a bigger wall of tires, a bigger birm, maybe semi tires and two floors. That would be truly awesome looking, scaled up to a double. You could do huge front pillars for the greenhouse, one semi tire wide. You would need

Yeah this is very inspiraing, I am having all kind of ideas flying in my head now it's great.

That cool air pipe is genius, I would have went with a escape sized tunnel I think. Look at the size of the air exhaust, so the bottleneck is that smaller intake pipe. I seen people do this with bunkers, why not a earthship ? The escape tunnels make good space because animals like to sleep in the cool air tunnel, they can be as long as you want, then you come up a small ladder to a capped exit pipe with a 90, like Mario brothers. I can crawl through at least 50 feet of pipe if there was a fire blocking the doorway. In New Mexico the extra money invested in digging would be quite worth it, the more earth you can pack on top of the corrugated pipe, the better. Technically these are fire code violations, as is. I would include some extinguisher in every room, just to be safe.

How much was actually spend on this?

Great idea man!

Who is this guy?

Dennis Weaver started this trend. He built his beautiful home in NM from tires, bottles, cans, and made a video on how to DIY

Absolutely love this video!! I'm currently buying land in New Mexico and I would really love to build an earthship home 🏡 this video is inspiring and educational!! Thanks

I’ve twatted you via Twitter

6 years later hows it holding up?
im looking for a material like this that i can use for underground building this seems like a good idea
