After a gentle day of work on our bathroom (about three hours work in total) we have put up the door frame and completed another layer of bags, thanks to the help of one of of our neighbors. We began the day with my partner and daughter putting up the door frame and securing it in place while our neighbor and I filled earthbags with the conveniently damp soil (it was a showery day).
This may seem like a very small gain, but it has left me feeling ridiculously satisfied with life. I feel as if things are progressing even though there is very little time to work on any projects which aren’t work related and even basic maintenance is taking a hit. I love the feeling of working on my own home, of building something I will use and appreciate (or curse) for years to come.
This is just a quick update. Next time I hope to have bagged right up to window height. Wish me luck.
That is so cool!! I hope to be able to do this one day! Good on you … and wishing you the best of luck 😉
Thank you so much. It’s such an easy process, anyone can do it.
A good friend of mine did one here in NZ; bit different on the process – mud brick I think it was. But so awesome!! Yep its part of my long term goals 😉 Good on you!
I am impressed, we’re about to start our earthbag buildings in a couple of weeks, this is so inspirational 😍😍😍
Why thank you. We are just fooling around.
No way😀 looks like you know what your doing though. Keep fooling around great stuff. Love your posts.
Thanks. We love trying new things.
