Hey folks.

I stumbled on Earthships decades ago thinking gosh....wonderful but backbreaking... and with 4 ruptured discs that have since been repaired-ish... i dont see myself getting one done the ol fashioned way.

But, even if I can't pound tires. Maybe i can get enough mass with aircrete?

in truth, the monolithic dome is my favorite idea, but I can't afford all that shotcrete, and you can't really shoot aircrete without destroying all the bubbles.

So I began to think. What if i could combine the dome idea with tires? What if i could fill the tires with aircrete instead of dirt and just use more tires and build a dome by stair-steppin them inwards a bit at a time?

I could then slump a bunch of aircrete and dirt on it to keep it nature friendly.

Any reason why i can't?

TThanks for the advice folks.
