Very nice, I wish you all the best!

Thanks, I hope my information is helpful. If you’re wondering where the Strawbale comes in on my build, it’s going to be my bedroom and the back utility room. What size are you planning?

So I am building several interconnected domes, and a 2 story round building. A 14’, two 16’ domes. A15’dome. 12’ round house plus the 7’ root cellar.the round house and 2 domes will share a continuous footer. Plan subject to change!

Hi Rebecca, thanks for the kind comment. I’ve been urged by family and friends to document and share my build, I should probably do it! One Thing that has helped me is looking at other similar builds, I’ll think on it.

Hi there, I am currently building an earth bag house and several sections will be bale on earth bag, I have read and seen photos of it in various places. With straw bale I am doing 2 courses of bags minimum  above grade before I set the bales, in most places my bags are 4-6 courses before I set the bales. I am building into a hillside so I want to be sure that my bales won’t get wet when heavy rain comes. I’ll try and find an article on bag foundations and post a link to it.

Hi all, I’m currently building an earth bag dome home, building the kitchen dome, I hope to have This one dome done in the next two months so I can finish inside when it’s cold and windy out!

Hi all, I’m a long time lurker here and decided to throw in my 2cents. I have lived here in north eastern AZ my whole life and can say from experience that giving a juniper extra water will almost certainly kill it. A little input goes a long way with these very hardy trees

Hi Matt , I’m in Apache county at about 5900’. Pigweed and lambsquarter are every where on my place too!
