It is super important that you use at a minimum a rubber/plastic grommet in the openings of your circuit panels at any point a wire passes through metal. Without some protective barriers the wire over time will rub on the metal cutting through its insulation and result in a short and likely a fire. Running full conduit is best, but grommets at a bare minimum should be used. Always think safety first when dealing with electricity.
😂 I’m sure you’re going to hear from every electrician that watches your channel about not having that wire in conduit. Love the DIY build of the earth dome house. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍
I noticed a lot of people commenting on the fact that he didn’t put a fitting on the electrical box when he ran the wires into it, listen to everything he said he’s just putting it in a temporary it’s not even hooked up it’s just so it’s not hanging on the floor, he also said he had to get some electrical connectors to go through the box before it’s done.
The way you two putt around there making progress, dealing with the pitfalls, and taking care of your pets is so real to life and how we live with the blessings and the obstacles. I love what you are doing there.
just a thought but having those fans a fixed rotation one sucking and blowing in the same room /level to level you could put bidirectional fans in and change the way the air ciculates for time of day and time of year
Electrical dude… got to have conduit between panels to run those naked wires so they don’t short or get scraped on sharp edges. The air tubes are great idea and like others have mentioned, if your pushing air up or out you need an air input or you will have vacuum affect. Another good idea you have for winter time air transfer from the future greenhouse as well. On the cool air side for summer, def run that tube underground for about 20ft or so which will help cool the air. Being in the shade is not going to do much but the earth is constant temp and cool all year round. Also add speed control on your small pipe fans as they will be noisy.
Jim and Jessica, I am impressed with how many obstacles you have figured out solutions!!! It’s so difficult to think of all the things!!! Don’t let any one make you feel like you are taking too long!
How to drill a larger hole Into an existing smaller hole? Cut the larger hole completely through a piece of scrap wood then center and secure the scrap, with the larger hole, over the smaller opening and secure the pilot to the floor or wall, it will guide the hole saw, apply light pressue.
You both been thur so much to make you give up but I just love watching just how amazing and strong to keep on fighting for your home stay strong love watching your wonderful videos Rosa from Texas
I think you can get drain covers that would fit on the 4" pipe. They would act as a vent cover. Just pack the mud around them . remember the smoke alarm and co2 alarm. Canvas stretched and stappled to the ceiling joist Then painted with a primer and a paint - much like stretching a canvas. Although it would stretch tight like a drum- and the first time a mouse ran across it at night might scare yah.
Radon gas is heavy and might stay at the bottom of the lower level. You might have a pipe extending from the bottom of the construction to the outside, with a fan in it, to push the lowest level gas to the outside, well away from the doors and windows. I think radon gas might be found in your area.
Sounds like Michigan weather of late. Keep on having fun. If you push hot air from The loft down to the lowest level, aimed wherever you may want to remove moisture. That hot air will want to shoot back to the left increasing the airflow using buoyancy.
Two questions: Q1 what is the brand of the inline duct fans you have? Q2 what is it that you have on the back legs of Crew? I love seeing all the progress, you two are doing good....
Great, improving little by little you will both get there. The weather is strange all over the world, we in the Uk are having a very mild falls Autumn, some plants are flowering as though its spring.
Could that metal ball shaped contraption in the field be moved over to where your root cellar is and covered?? It would seem that rain keeping falling and probably filling the hole.
Hey ..I have been watching you build your earthbag house, but it is gone to a point where it is painfully slow..I know it's just two of you..but it's scary now. With your root cellar getting collapsed . You have to think of what pace you should be working on, because if your earth bags stay any longer in this state .it's dangerous . Please consider making some changes especially to speed up some of the important projects ...I love what you are doing, and I want you to continue what you are doing,..I want you both and your pets to be safe .
My only concern for ya'll is? You need a hand rail down into the basement. To keep from failing off. I can't believe WED. Morning going to get down to 30 degs. That way to cold for Oct. Here in E. Tx That is At the End. of NOV. Weather! So that mean i got to cover things up and pipes> So tomorrow is going to be a busy DAY
I am curious as to why you don't have your ventilation tube go to the outside? You could have the tube some distance from your dome and with a downward hook to the tube so no water can get in. With a screen at the entrance and the fan in the tube as it enters the downstairs room. It would get fresh air in and if buried some distance from your dome it would regulate the air temperature coming in too.
Good morning to you both enjoy watching you both rain again the weather is a bit unusual no rain in some parts too much in other place's, does it get really cold where you live was wondering so thought I'd ask in the UK they're saying going to be really cold this winter hoping not 🤞 good idea ventilation. I'm learning more about earth domes as you explain everything so well and love learning about things makes me want to make one in my garden but we'd not be allowed think they are brilliant my love to you both ❤️
You are right about the need for ventilation because the ground has some type of gas that comes up through the soil .. also when we breathe we exhale carbon dioxide or monoxide ? and that is toxic too 😳 ... I just assumed you knew this because you were building a earth bag home and said you did research I apologize for not at least asking you if you knew about it ! Both of you are still doing an amazing job even when it seems like everything is against you ..
Romex isn't rated for burial, If you are encasing it in dirt it should be run in conduit. The service entrance should be in conduit to the box and between the main and sub panel as well, Single conductor wire isn't even rated for inwall installation. Please revisit before energizing any of that as it is very dangerous.
His romex isnt direct burial. He also needs condiut in the new panel instead of running the wires in through that hole Please get someone who knows electrical codes to give you advice. I have seen a number of things in your installation that are downright dangerous having built two homes myself, I made sure to get an electrician friend to give me advice before I wired the first one. A copy of the national electrical code would be good to have or even a simple electrical how to book from home depot I would hate to see you lose your home to fire
I got a tent made for my pepper plants There going to have to stay out until the peppers ripens> i got to cover that up tomorrow as well The ceiling fan will work down in the basement. To keep air moving That what is needed in a House is? To keep air moving! Fresh air in, Stale air out > IT will take your heating and cooling out as well > So don't even them on 24/7 ever couple of days will be ok ~ I have windows to open and close
Dude u gonna have electrical issues down the line . And you should probably GFCI / AFCI protect everything. BTW I ENJOY EVERYTHING YOUR DOING KEEP IT UP 😁 I wish I could do something like that
This is probably a useless question but I’m wondering if you two have ever heard anything about this. Is it possible to build a particle sand bag partial yurt blended together in some way. Just something I had been meaning to ask for a while. But as always you two are great with your patience and hard work. Many blessings your way! 😊 Shirl K - Texas 🐾🐾😎

Do you have some kind of screening material (exterior and interior) to protect your home from critters and insects getting in through the PVC ventilation pipes?
For the next dome maybe look into a geothermal system to provide air flow and give you some cooling in your hot summers, and heat in the winter. You already planned the basic concept it appears but use tubes underground to get below the frost level.
There is a lot to geothermal. Its not as easy as people think. Drill a 200 feet plus hole isn't easy. ..... I know you see people talking about it. But it like running an alternator to give free electric with another alternator motor. It's not real...... Best and closes is as they have done. using soil or building underground. Until you go down hundreds or sometimes thousands of feet there is little change.
What is the frost level in the Arizona desert? At parallel 58 in coastal Ireland the frost rarely exceeds one foot or 30 centimetres. In northern Canada it is much deeper. I’m unfamiliar with the severity of the winters where Jessica and Jim live and they may have harder frosts than I realize.
@@eleanorchapple8772 Does it get cold? yes. Can one die of exposure, or get frostbite in Southern Arizona? Yes. Is it like the north? No However. you can't find winter clothes like you can find in other places. Cold and heat are subjective. It rarely get to 0 degree.. I don't know what that is in Celcuis. Key about the desert. Due to lack of wate, temperatures range widely. I've seen days that daybreak is 32 degrees ( 0 C) And midday is 100 degrees. Usually its not that vast. But it is wider then other places Water hold temperatures for surrounding areas. That why you see more even Temps around areas of water. I'm about 150 miles from them. Our weather is pretty close. But I'm higher elevation.
I have some small boxes, if the dog needs more ! LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣 What you gonna do with that geodesic dome ? I made a 2 story studio cabin out of one of mine.
You make it sound like you are winging it with the ventilation a bit. I am sure you do have a plan (or two) though! Do you plan on natural ventilation from outside going into the cellar and then eventually exiting the loft? Maybe a thermal pump? Eather way you are right it is a crucial aspect. If you look at some of the early Earthships, they are plagued with mould caused by the humid "greenhouse" area. Not good for healthy living! ..... I am sure you guys researched all that though! ;o)
we have been watching on and off for what seems to be a long time and have only one question. at what point are you going to move in and make that your lived in home?
I’m not sure you have built anything from the ground up. Just sayin’ life off grid in the desert is a real challenge that I don’t think you understand. It’s not your living situation so maybe you shouldn’t worry about it.
I would take the cooling tower/Earthship approach of running ~10" diameter geothermal tubes into the lower room, with some hot air exhaust vents around the top apex of the dome. As the day's sun heats the dome, the hottest air inside rises out the top, drawing in fresh, geothermally cool air into the lower room. Electric free, convection HVAC, as well as the benefits of your thermal mass. You could still core drill through the walls at underground level, then dig outside to add the 10" geothermal tubing. An apex vent would be emotionally difficult, but not impossible to modify. Of course, do your own home however you please. Just a suggestion from someone who has given it decades of thought. 😎
I don't want to build to code. !!!!!!!!!! Government needs to stay out of my life..!!!!!! I know better. !!!!!! People that think or say that.... are forgetting what codes are.... They are the minimum acceptable level... Property has burnt down People have died Because they knew better
Possibly, but "it works pretty well". Until it doesn't. I would not sleep in that basement with that wiring job.....no way out but one. I'd hate to see something happen.
That’s really smart doing air vents. I’m wondering when your going to cover the bags inside the dome? Also insulation under the floor? You both are amazing love watching.
If you naysayers think you can do any better than Jim and Jess, WHY don't you get off your high horses and GO and help. I'm sure they know what they're doing and they don't need all the negatively.
You should maybe seek some professional help on your electrical, I see some potential safety issues. I'm a long time viewer who never comments, just concerned.
I thought you put in black plastic pipe through your roof , or was going to about 4 or 5 feet of pipe sticking out of the roof or side of building so when it heats up the air in the pipe and draws it out and replace the air inside with floor level vent pipes to draw in the air , refreshing it and help remove that raydon gas . NO need for fans .
It is super important that you use at a minimum a rubber/plastic grommet in the openings of your circuit panels at any point a wire passes through metal. Without some protective barriers the wire over time will rub on the metal cutting through its insulation and result in a short and likely a fire. Running full conduit is best, but grommets at a bare minimum should be used. Always think safety first when dealing with electricity.

What I have learnt from you, is that it takes a lot of water to build with earth, in the desert.
It does take quite a bit of water, but it's significantly less than conventional builds.
Nice

Yup!
Crew said I know I left a bone in here..haha

You should consider venting the basement to the outside to handle radon gas.
there is a whole video on radon not long ago
th-cam.com/video/svKwvTGUnXQ/w-d-xo.html
also the ventilation will help with your radon situation....from very bottom, up and out the top which will help to make that situation much safer.
Please, don't disregard the tips from those that know the electrical setups & wiring!
