I'm posting in hopes to learn more about the
Mike Oehler PSP formula for building
underground houses in Appalachia.
I've looked through an older copy of his book from a
local library, but I feel like I am missing some information just reading the book. I want to get my hands dirty by building a small version that might be 10 by 10 feet. Maybe I'll hit a few walls, but I'd like to try it.
My goal is to learn
enough so that when we build a larger version we won't make any serious mistakes.
So I am reading his books and going through his workshop videos. One trouble that I am having, however, is being able to visualize some of the designs. Specifically the initial PSP structure and how these would be built into the floor polyethylene, how the walls would be built up, and perhaps most importantly how exactly to notch the posts and set the roof. I know that if they are in the wrong direction it would enable the earth to cause the whole structure to lean… I know that many of these things are in the book, but I am coming here to see if anyone has photographs of construction in progress following the PSP method or even videos? Especially the minute parts of the construction and details.
Thanks for reading!
