This is inspiring! I've been thinkering about cob methods for construction but I think this is a way more efficient building method. Thanks for sharing!!!
Watching this really is getting me pumped up to get started on my earth bag build. I have a 2 acres given to me by my dad that I want a little off grid roundhouse. I'm still in the planning stages and trying to source local materials is proving more difficult than I anticipated.
This was great! I have to admit that my favorite part was when one of the kids decided to just kick back in a box for awhile. :-D The only thing that would make this video even better would be occasional text descriptions overlaid on the video with what's going on. I'd like to know what kind of bags you used? did you have any oopsies that you had to adjust for? was that straight soil going in the bags or did you mix in anything fibrous like grass? and did the bags on the hill side of the house lean right up against the hill? or is there a gap there? This looks like a really great project. It was a lot of fun to watch the video. Thanks!
hello, how did you decide the permission to build such a house from the local administration? did they interfere with you or how is it the local bureaucracy?
Is it possible to build bigger rooms with Earth bag? If so how much bigger can the rooms be before structural issues occur? Love what your doing.. great work.
Of course! The sky, or your imagination is the limit, it’s also possible to build two story buildings! A curved wall is always stronger than a straight one. And when the wall is longer than 3m then you would need to buttress the wall with a 90’ segment, that is or exceeds 1/2 of the height of the wall in length, at least at the bottom of the wall. It can gradually get smaller at the top, as to form a curve or step type feature.. and you would need to do this every 3m or 10 feet. Between the corners of the building.
Greetings from Chile, I would like to congratulate you on your beautiful project, I would also like to ask you, what did you use to prevent the back of the house from getting damp, the one that touches the hill? And does that part of the house get damp? ?, thank you.
Thank you very much for showing the development of the project, I would like to know the main part of the foundations, could you explain it to me, since it is already done and what size are the bags.Greetings from the Atacama Desert
Every wall is on 80cm deep gravel foundations with a drainpipe in it. So the water can’t creep up the wall. The walls are rendered with lime and sand which is breathing but can’t be penetrated by any insects or mice
Unfortunately there are no permits or regulations available at this time in Portugal for earthbag construction. We want to share information about earthbag building, but We cannot and do not advocate for violating building regulations.
Hi there, I am also planning on building an earthbag house in Portugal, could you tell me how much would it cost? How much did you spend? I would be very grateful for some information, it's very hard to find anything relevant. Thank you :)

The elephant in the room...

Thank you! We appreciate the feedback and support 😁
The kid in the box. Genius. Lmao!
Thanks for sharing your build with your Lovely Family & Dog am thinking the Rooms will be more soundproof than normal home with thick walls?
@@brocky78 definatley, and noise outside is not audible with all the doors and windows closed too :)
Do you have a video on how to do the light and water fixtures?
Greetings from Chile, I would like to congratulate you on your beautiful project, I would also like to ask you, what did you use to prevent the back of the house from getting damp, the one that touches the hill? And does that part of the house get damp? ?, thank you.
@@metodoorigen not at all, the whole house is bone dry. We used a layer of plastic and then insulation between the earth and the wall :)
Thank you very much for showing the development of the project, I would like to know the main part of the foundations, could you explain it to me, since it is already done and what size are the bags.Greetings from the Atacama Desert
This kind of wall can stop almost any size of bullet and RPG..
You might to share the size of the sacks?
Nice job! 😊 Where do you get water for shower, dishwashing, laudry?
How and where is the barbed wire used? super inspirational video!!! thank you for your time!
@@christophergonzales5474 it’s sandwitched between every layered bags! Thanks :)
Hello i am portuguese. I'd like to know how you waterproof the walls. Thank you
I'd pay for the bricks just to not have to work that much. That's a Sisyphean amount of work.
sadece toprak mı kullanıldı bilgi verebilirmisiniz
Awesome guys. I am hoping to do the same and I was wondering if you had any issues with permits and the local camara?
Just saw the comments on your other videos. No permits for earthbag houses.
😃👍
Think I'll go with hyperadobe bags. They seem like a lot less work.
How does the floor stay dry and how does the wallls not become invaded by insects and rodents?
Every wall is on 80cm deep gravel foundations with a drainpipe in it. So the water can’t creep up the wall. The walls are rendered with lime and sand which is breathing but can’t be penetrated by any insects or mice
@@Algarve_family_ecobuild wow thank you ! My daughter wants to build a mud house with a long overhang :)
what type of earth did they use
We're yall using rebar stakes for reinforcement?
Only in the top 60cm of the wall to secure the wall plates and roof beams to the walls :)
Awesome job! How big is the House?
Thanks! It’s approximately 120m2
Dış sıvasına beton kullanıyormusunuz. Yoksa bu sıvalar dökülür
👍👏👏
How much did this cost and how do you find out what and how many materials you will need?
Too bad that you're no longer posting.
Where in Portugal are you building the house?
thats great. lots of love in those bags! is it easy to get a permit for an earth house in Portugal?
Thank You
Unfortunately there are no permits or regulations available at this time in Portugal for earthbag construction. We want to share information about earthbag building, but We cannot and do not advocate for violating building regulations.
Where did you buy your bags and what was the total built cost may I ask not including the land ❤
In the local farming supply shop and the material costs where roughly 8k
Awesome. You managed to find bags i Portugal easily enough without having to ship them 👍 nice. Thank you for your response.
If you want to buy bags pay attention to the bottom of the bags as square bottoms lay and render much easier
Hi there, I am also planning on building an earthbag house in Portugal, could you tell me how much would it cost? How much did you spend? I would be very grateful for some information, it's very hard to find anything relevant. Thank you :)
It really all depends on how big you are planning to build and what kind of materials you want to use for the inside, the roof, etc
If you have some figures regarding m2, layout we could give you a better idea 😁
Need contacts to buy earthbags in wholesale rate
hello, is this project approved by authorities? has it a permission to live in?
No; not at all.
and the meaning of the video was ??????? seeing dude speeding all over and not teaching crap...incredible!!! is this the new trend in UT.....
