My husband and I just purchased 40 acres outside of grand junction Colorado and wand to build an earthship home here. (Using earthbags instead of tires) and are excited to learn more about the process of building one of these amazing homes. Living in our bus conversion while we build.

Thanks for reading

Did you already find the building category with the earthship and earth bag forums?

The projects forum could also be interesting for you, and you could also start your own project thread(s)!
