One day, we all have dreams of living in an earth shelter home on our property. This is a project that we are attempting on our own, for the most part.
None of us are experienced builders, though I have spent the past couple decades preparing for this experience by spending time with builders, architects, plumbers, electricians and more. First, I apologize to all of them for being such a pain, but thank you SO MUCH for all the help. I could never have done this without all the help! |
We actually have a number of sites that you can follow along with, but I hope to make a place that we can keep track of all that happens in one place.
In the navigation bar of this site, you will find things in a fairly ordered structure as our time line progresses. This starts with early concepts and goes all the way through to the latest updates. Keep in mind that I have to make an effort to keep things up to date, so if I fall behind, bear with me, my intentions are good. |
