Well then Paul Wheaton's latest permaculture creation is for you! The Berm Shed movie is the full length journey and process of creating one of Wheaton Lab's most handy, helpful, and handsome creations!
I believe this was one of the included bonuses for those of us that took part in the Passive Solar Greenhouse kickstarter. Might I find it in "my stuff" when the final version is out?

Yes.
Although we originally planned for something simple and about 20 minutes long, this is gonna be a lot more robust and over an hour.
Thanks Paul and Josiah. I liked the movie and glad it follows the permaculture practice of trying something out until it works for you. Although I don't own land or live where there are plenty of trees for such a project, I appreciate the idea of keeping costs down and making something that will last a while.
Excellent info, I would've been far better off if I'd jumped thru time and watched this before trying to frame up my chicken coop and wood shed using trees I cut from my property and sawed to fit. The bracing idea especially would have saved me a ton of headaches, and that joinery info. I plan to use a lot of what I learned from the movie when I start tackling my hybrid wofati/sunken greenhouse project this year. The most incredible thing about being here is that no matter what jumps into my head I can come to the forum and do a little searching and there's almost always someone who has done the same thing and offered up all kinds of useful experience and ideas. Thank you once again for gathering all this knowledge and all these ideas in one place where we can learn and try and overcome and improve together!
I have some stupid questions after watching this video. Basically, I am in New England and want to build a small version of this shed, like maybe one 10'x10' cell, for fun, idealism, and extra storage. I have several acres of big white pine on my land that I'd like to cut down and replace with more useful trees. However, there are no gravel or dirt mounds on my land, and I'd prefer not to strip-mine virgin forest soil for the roof.
I have a little carpentry experience but no experience with round wood building or earthworks and no heavy machinery or extra people. However, I also have no deadline.
- Which, if any, book(s) do you recommend to get the nerdy details to build a wofati-like thing? Is Oehler's book still overall the most useful? I looked up Law's stuff, but he uses a bunch of funny words and Paul seems to think in the video that his stuff is above our pay grade anyway.
- Where did you get the dirt and gravel to pack the post holes? I assume just lying around Montana? They aren't included in the expenses.
- How did you obtain all the billboard material? Just call the number on the billboard and ask, or more complex?
- Is a PDF plan available? Google was not helping me and I find permies.com rather hard to search. Happy to pay for one if it exists.
- Does snow fly into the front of the shed in the winter? Or does the 5' overhang mostly prevent that?
Hi Paul, I have a question about green logs inground and shrinkage, would this be a problem if i was looking to live in it?
I will use sharp stone to inground around the logs. Thank you Api
Sorry for my stupidity but my stuff says I have access to HD streaming

I feel like the proverbial old dog who has little internet site intuition
Oh well it can only get better
We have an idea to make an eBook called something like "Permaculture bits and bobs". Each page would feature a card and we would add a bunch more info.
So here is the card for round wood timber framing. For the page for this card ...
- should we add five or six more points?
- maybe expand on some of the points already made?
Ideas? Words? Prose?
CLICK HERE to back the kickstarter now and get your purple decks!
Two small things:
1. there should be a space between the words takes and less on the card.
2. I love the look of log houses where at their corners, where the logs 'sit in each other'. Is it possible to add an image (detail) of such joinery? With moss between the logs for insulation?
