FINALLY!!!
We started our Hyperadobe cabin today. It has been a process to get it started, but it is started. Yay!! We started off by cutting into the hill and leveled out the land as much as we could. Then we laid out the whole cabin in rocks to decide where we wanted each room to be. he big pole you see in some of the photos is a giant compass made to make sure we are measuring the walls correctly and that they are all the same distance to the outside walls all the way around. We used a chain link fence post and pvc to make it. We have it marked out to different measurements all down the pvc by inches.
We are using a mix of 70% sand and 30% clay. The bags/ tubes we are using are called rachelle netting. We only got four rows today but it is all a learning process. This first room we are working on is mine and Jon's bedroom it is 12 feet in diameter. Each room is what is called a honey house dome.
Wish us luck on transforming the earth into a cozy living space.
Enjoy the photos from start to now.
