Thanks for posting this. My dad was a concrete finisher and always said this was what he would love to build for himself. I could never visualize what he meant and just envisioned an animal den-like structure but he was adamant it could be awesome. I’m excited to see the rest of your posts. Thanks for the gift - my dad is now gone but I’ll watch this and think of him. ❤
Im curious how you prevent the water from running down the outside wall and on top of the plastic and into the footer? Does the plastic get pulled up the outside wall? I am looking to do something similar. Thank you
My video will help you understand: Earth Berm House #8 construction Waterproofing Footings & Walls. Yes, the plastic gets pulled up the outside wall. After the wall is poured, I put the plastic on top of the edge of the footing and then up the wall as far as it the length will reach, you can hold the plastic in place by using some type of tar to make it stick to the bottom of the wall, then the plastic you put on the wall should over lap the plastic at the bottom of the wall.

Great series. Thanks for numerating them and keeping them concise.
are you going to run platic under the whole thing? What thickness should the plastic be?
Yes, watch video: Earth Berm House 17 construction Plastic moisture barrier for concrete. I used 6 mil plastic
