Hi! I'm so excited in the concept of the underground house and think i can relatively easily execute this project. But I'm wanting to hear from someone besides the author who has had success with it. There should be a lot of you right?! The design is so simple.
So if anyone can give a testimonial that would be great before i commit, and maybe one unexpected challenge they had. I'm planning on doing concrete pillars coming 6" out of the ground to set the posts on.
Building code stuff I don't THINK will be a problem, my house is on a non municipal road in a town of 72, we never have inspectors.. Anyone just do it blind and never have an authority figure wag their finger about it? sometimes better to stay low key right? I already have a house and this would be a backup.
anyway thanks for sending me pictures or links to whatever you all have done so I can feel like this is for real. I looked up underground houses in MN and found nothing like the designs here.
