    My father built an earthship inspired home in Upper Michigan! He used around 1500 tires, heavy gauge plastic pit liner and lots of logs he cut from his property. He sold the home in 1999 due to divorce. He died in 2015 and I sure would like to go back and see it.

    Instead of aluminum cans between the tires, you could use tin cans. They are much stronger. They also are filling landfills, even though they can be recycled. Just a thought.

    a very " earth ship " inspired construction . ( without all that very
    Volunteered free Labor from a small army of Twenty something's with strong backs' & free minds' )
    If You could build a house with a inexperienced Labor force. AND
    without all the backbreaking labor
    and still get the same results at
    the same expense as a regular house build THAT would be a miracle ( plus it might be easier to get a home loan & permits for )

    Just wondering, have they figured out the issue of the walls when the tires start to balls because of a compression, I’ve watched several people who are the second owners of a new ship home having to redo the walls because they say the tires are studying the bulge and ruin the walls and they have to redo them?

    • @TheOffGridGuru
      @TheOffGridGuru  Місяць тому

      If done properly, the tires are at compression when you plaster, then settling in the wall would be a result of improper compaction from the beginning

    I don't know if in the US this rule applies BUT in ONTARIO and NEW BRUNSWICK , if you have your water turned off perhaps waiting to sell a house example an estate property or you bought another house, the city still charges you for the water and sewage hook up that you are not using. They say it is because of the inferstructure that runs in front of the house, which I may say is on city property. Just goes to show you this system sets the rules, to go into your pockets and keeps on being money whores.
    I love earthships, sustainable living, growing your own food, responsible for your life and how you want to live. Free pockets of sustainable living is a way to get away from the the ruthless building codes that want to drain you for permits and products. Reuse, recycle, and use what's going into land sites ,lets the earth breathe . Respect for our planet, instead of lining CEO'S pockets. Yes, of course there needs to be some rules of proper waste management to keep safety but not at the cost of doing it naturally as nature would and have fees to pay out, just because someone has a closed mind and no understanding or willingness to understand how this works.

    IMHO Using old tires is dangerous because tires are extremely toxic. Tires continue to off gas extremely toxic vapors and they will not ever be less toxic. Have you ever walked into a big box store which sells tires? There is a distinct odor in the air and that is from the tires off gassing. Some day people will become aware of their huge mistake to ever use ground up tires on athletic fields, play grounds and other surfaces. Those that spend time on these surfaces will eventual endure health issues whether it be immediate or decades later. And for those that say, "The tires are covered or sealed". Unless the tires are fully encapsulated with a permanent vapor barrier... people living in such structures will be exposed to the toxins. Having said that... I am fully supportive of alternative building techniques with the exception of using tires.

    • @andreewert1142
      @andreewert1142 Рік тому +1

      The idea is to use the tires as a retaining wall, possibly to create a ventilated space, a utility room, between the living areas and the tires. I have seen that done.
