    Thanks for the update video it's been fun watching the progress. It's cool to see what can be made with items that usually end up in the landfill. I find helpful things I can borrow from your adventures and can inspire me to use at my place. Planting things that give back, living more frugal enjoying nature. Maybe I could visit sometime lend a hand or two. Not too far away near the AZ Trail Oracle. Good luck with 2024 positive thoughts, uplift consciousness.

    So awesome you guys...it is quite the commitment to be out here off grid and building literally from the ground up! Huge respect for what you have gotten done in four years and your place is beautiful :) The 3D printer is such a smart addition! Yep, as we have finished up our chicken coop, our house plans have gotten smaller and smaller. Smaller is good when it comes to hyperadobe earthbag construction...it's a huge amount of work. Well done! Love seeing your updates and all the best to you for 2024!!!

    Cool sculpture. Good work with tiny and earthbag homes. So, as homesteaders and living off the land, why burn wood (pallets) that could be used toward building more tiny houses? Re-use, upcycle, re-purpose, yes?

    • @TerraformTogether
      @TerraformTogether  10 місяців тому +2

      The pallet burning was a little hard for me personally. But that was the college tradition, not my own call haha.
