  • We get a surprise call from an Ondura roofing representative offering to supply us with the needed roofing materials. Since Ondura was already in the plan, we are very appreciative. Now the roof can be completed. Take a look at Guys finishing up the job. Shae :P

    Best of luck to Garen with the seasonal job...sounds like so much fun! The videos are looking great. The building ones are my favorite...Shae got any plans brewing for hers yet? Great job on the roof, and so glad you guys got the donation of some of the materials this time. I can see how the Ondura makes it easier to do all the odd curves and angles on these earthbag buildings.

    Great job on the skylight! That was a tough one. The only other idea I came up with was to take out the table saw and cut some of the edge pieces as flat as possible and work it up like siding. It would have looked more octagonal but like the boys said it as long as you were not back up there in two hours ripping it apart, you have a win! Now for the inside ceiling. Good Luck!

    I specially liked this video. A nice break in form of a gift, a roof, watching it come together, installed, and the trampoline ending is a cinematic art form at it's (best?) well very good.

    Interesting that I did not see any insulation on the roof. Did I miss it? That would be a priority for me as I like being comfortable all the time and not using any cooling/heating if possible. But, I have learnt so much! Thanks for doing such detailed job with the recording every step.

    theres a channel named Praxis Prepper. He has some pretty good set up for rain water catchment as well as extending water use. Being located where you are, one of his set up may help you with plant and animal watering.

    At first I thought you said "Andorra," as in the tiny European country. :^} That roofing material looks great! I may have to use it on Miss Lacey's stable, which (hopefully) will go up in the spring. Thx for another awesome vid!

    Oops! Hit the wrong nail! Been there, done that. I roofed my sister's house in cold weather one year. My thumb was as numb as the rest of my hand, but that hammer made me feel the thumb real good every time I hit it. All part of a productive life. But it looks like the cold weather is coming to your area. Will you have to stop construction because of the weather?

  • @shb3395

    Free roofing! Woot!
    Your edits are improving as well; nice pacing, time lapses are good, music cues don't distract from the content. I'm a video editor (IATSE Local 700, inactive status) turned artist, so I've got a modicum of authority on the subject.
    Lastly, are you near Tubac? I've got an old friend from the tv biz who's become a farmer in Tubac, along with his wife and kids. I bet he'd love to see your 'stead.

    have you guys thought of using leaf lock gutters on your roof to collect rain water?
    PS wish I could do what you guys are doing. I want to homesteed too. Johnny.

    Hello family, I have been watching your videos for a while and in what part of the United States are they? You see little vegetation and it gives to think that it is a little arid, that type of construction adapts to wet zone? Thank you.

    • @mylittlehomestead

      We are located in the American SW desert. Earth bag construction should work in most climates and areas. Water abatement is the key: diversion, French drain, channels, cover, etc.... These walls are dirt. Cover and diversion are the ways to protect. Temps can vary.

    Is it safe to collect drinking water off the roof? Not sure about the material.

  • @Grid-free-life
    @Grid-free-life 7 років тому +4

    Do you know if it's safe for catching water off this material? We need a new roof on our Earthship.

    • @RogueAPBT
      @RogueAPBT 7 років тому

      I don't think I'd catch water off this roof, just due to the components inside the material. I think filtration does a lot, but the cleaner the start, the better, just IMO. I've been learning about Earthships...amazed at the thought that goes into those structures...very cool!

    Do you think the ondura roofing would hold up well against hail?

    • @johnosullivan675
      @johnosullivan675 4 роки тому

      Ondura is complete rubbish. It softens when the sun shines on it and sags under it's own weight. Rain fills up any pockets and the weight of the water makes them bigger. I wouldn't use it again if I was paid to take it. It's the worst roofing material I've ever seen and I've seen shingles made from old beer cans.

  • @GTGallop
    @GTGallop 7 років тому

    Is it my imagination or are the walls starting to bend and bow? Couldn't tell if it was the camera angle, wide angle lens or geometry.

    • @mylittlehomestead
      @mylittlehomestead  7 років тому +3

      The walls have not moved since we fixed them. They have settled and hardened. What you see is the resulting organic shape. Extremely safe - it would take a bulldozer to take it down.

    • @GTGallop
      @GTGallop 7 років тому

      I keep wondering as I see you building that if you laid two layers of bags side by side and did a tandem set of rows up to about 4 feet and then a single width row (like you have done) from there up if they would be more sturdy, but that's just my suspicious nature and tendency to "over build" everything.

    • @shb3395
      @shb3395 7 років тому

      Walls did bow early on in the project from rain, but they've been more or less "straightened"
      Looks like they did lots of reinforcing afterwards too, but yeah the walls do have an organic shape...

    • @mactagg8814
      @mactagg8814 7 років тому +1

      +Greg Gallop I've read that these structure meet the California earthquake building code. Very strong and very sturdy. Your idea would of course work i think, but not necessary. Earthbag structures are built in africa with no wooden roof. Bagged all the way to include roofing. it looks like an upside down bee hive. Very sound structures.
