  • THIS Is How We'll Get Electricity To Our Earthbag Dome | Building Off-Grid
    The build continues on our off-grid earthbag dream house. We complete course number 5 and place the conduit pipe that will serve as the entrance for our main electric supply.

    Join us on our journey to move beyond a sustainable lifestyle into a regenerative one. We chose to live in the desert because we love the location and we wanted the challenge of bringing this desert landscape into productive abundance.

    I buy one of those greenhouses every year. They last our whole winter keeping plants safe from cold and frosts. If you can keep the frame from breaks, you can buy just the skin/cover. If I leave it up, it only lasts 1 month of spring. They are cheap but effective for my seasonal purpose 🍺🍺

    It cracks me up when Jess asks Crew if he wants to go for a walk. It looks to me like he is walking Jess! 🐶. And it is a funny bone. A Charlie horse isa muscle spasm that tightens and usually hurts.

    I adore ya'll attitude and interaction between each other. Football gees I loved playing it in the empty fields and at school . But I have never liked sitting and watching a football game in my life. I feel like thats a huge waste of time. When there are so many other things in like you can do. And get accomplished. And it's most likely a cramp . A Charley hose is more of a muscle spasms. Using happening at night waking you from a sound sleep.

  • @richardross7219

    You need to build some screens to sort soils. Use 2" x 4" frames and stretch fencing over the frame. You can make them to fit on the wheelbarrow and wagon or make a frame big enough that it stands over the cart. The weather cooperating is very nice. To me a charlie horse is a cramp but it can be caused by an impact. Good Luck, Rick

    "In the 1890s, an old horse named Charley was used in the old Chicago White Sox ballpark to pull a roller across the infield. He was old and his muscles would get so stiff he could hardly walk. Players and spectators who caught a cramp thought of the old horse and started calling the condition a charley horse."

    You kids may want to look at the work of Paul Robinson for construction of domes and the classic work of Hugh Kenner for the math behind the dome. While I appreciate the lasting value of earthbag construction, a well crafted wooden dome could greatly increase productivity. A well built stick dome covered with ferro concrete could be just what you need in far less time using the foundations you have already started.

    Just about everyone commented correctly the difference between the funny bone numbness and a charley horse cramp.
    BUT I didn't see anyone say why it's called a charley horse.
    Back in the 1890's there was an old horse named Charley that was associated with the Chicago White Sox and he would often cramp up and have difficulty walking. The spectators saw this and the condition (cramping) took on the name Charley Horse.

    Funny bone is when you smack you arm just right to cause either pain or shooting nerve tingles down to your middle finger. Charlie horse is when you whack a muscle - like the bicep or thigh. It's similar to a cramp, but inflicted instead of the body reacting to a muscle being flexed.

  • @Jerry-ko9pi

    I would wire the house for MORE current then 60 amps. You don't have to use that much right now, but the wire size will already be correct if you NEED to increase it for some reason down the road. Maybe you might get a bigger refrigerator or freezer? Your initial current draw might be higher than you think. A refrigerator for example draws the most current when the compressor kicks on, but the current draw is much less after start up unlike a water heater which uses more electricity during use. Also, max current draw is only for a moment, not for long haul. Most things rated for efficency is for long haul over time like yearly use. If you haven't already done so, check with local electrcian. Great job though!

    Charley Horse is muscle cramps that come on without warning in the legs, usually, but can occure anywhere in the body. It's named after a horse in Chicago, if memory serves me. Not a commonly used term outside the US. I trained in medicine in Germany, but I heard the term from my American wife.

    In earlier years duplex could be wired
    30amp 110volt (one 30amp circuit)

    This statement is just food for thought...
    The codes here in L.A. County, Ca
    And maybe the rest of the United States
    In a Home/House. There are only two kinds of circuits..
    Those protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interupter
    Of those protected by Arc Fault Circuit Interupter
    maybe your in your area you can opt-out of inspections
    My point here is
    no one knows the future
    GFCIs or AFCI
    These devices will not share a neutral
    My advice is to run a dedicated neutral for each circuit. It only cost penny's compared to building your dream
    Be prepared for the future and or the people who you may sell your dream to...
