Oct 29, 2012 - I love the concept of these homes, but California has far too many restrictions to allow a home to be built off the grid.

May 30, 2012 - that's why you have to get a community people together to collectively work together

ShallowGroundDrummer Says:

May 30, 2012 - Windmills in areas where there isn't a lot of trees, houses, and obstructions isn't a bad idea. I agree with the small scale solar operation. Thermal water heaters are good in the south, but not so much in the north. Build an Earth Tube system, and really reap the rewards of climate control indoors!

Stephen Balogh Says:

Mar 31, 2012 - where you gonna get all those tyres from in the near future when there won't be enough everywhere as they aren't available already?

StormTrek Says:

Mar 31, 2012 - I just can't get over people promoting small scale solar-to-electric and wind-to-electric (especially short roof top installations). It requires factories to produce all those appliances and they are inefficient electric generators - not to mention the inefficient battery storage. The big picture is important.

bellch87 Says:

Mar 9, 2012 - My understanding of it is they are used to reduced the amount of cement and adobe mud needed as well as put recyclable materials to use.

monkeyboy8me Says:

Feb 28, 2012 - what is the purpose in using bottles and cans for?

Cyrus Cosmo Says:

Feb 19, 2012 - Average Joe, 1 Get your permits in order 2 collect tires, cardboard and bottles, stack these items neatly under a tarp until you have enough, two years, three? 3 rent a 580 for a weekend and dig. 4 invite friends and family to stack and pound tires 5 search the building material recyclers for stuff. The point is you can build one over time as you have the funds available and they can be built in phases. biggest hurdle is Land and permits, that and the occasional asshat neighbor.

wolfgang16 Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - land seems to be the only real problem here

oldsoul247 Says:
