Lovely home. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful, I like the style and layout!, I live in wetter climate of the USA, most of the earth bags are in the arid areas, I am hoping to do something like this for me! Thanks again for sharing, I would love to see another update and more of the roof and floor joist system. Very beautiful view 😊

Thank you for documenting your beautiful home. My favorite part is the upstairs veranda, so peaceful. I am looking forward to learning more about your challenges with the floor.

This house is very spacious for a small house and absolutely beautiful. You did a excellent job with every detail. Your location has the perfect weather for a build like this. Where I live in the USA the house might not stand up to the humidity. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your 5 year build anniversary with us. 💯🌟💜🌟💯

Your home is very beautiful I love it !!!

I love this house..Love that look of adobe style

Great ideas for a home for more space . Seems very large .

Beautiful home, thank you for the tour. Love it.

Soon I will have my Earthhome

Lovely 😍

Beautiful

Wow ❤❤

Amazing

BEAUTIFUL❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

I think the house is beautiful and nice size. I have a 4bed-2bath fully finished basement with less square ft. And you have decorated it beautifully and perfect. I'm sure your proud of your accomplishments, it's fantastic, great job!

OMG this is amazing. You should really talk about your experiences and what would have done differently to this house. and some tips for people who may want to build something like this. It is a paradise especially the top floor you can even sleep if your have 100% cover for netting. I was in south India in in the eastern ghats and it is dry tropics. similar climate. but its amazing. I love tropics. This is very simple and beautiful. It looks like temperature inside the house is cool on hot days. It look very pleasant.

AWESOME!!

congratulations, super nice the upper stairs veranda.!

Great job !

i wish if you filmed the construction part. such a beautiful place

It’s pretty.

You are goals 💕 you did a fabulous job!

You all did a beautiful job

Very beautiful and strong house! You both did great work, thank you for the tour! I'm from Pennsylvania in the USA.

Exelent

I love the metal roof. This is an excellent way to keep water and sun from damaging the building, and lowers the amount of maintenance required.

Amazing! Your home is so beautiful and peaceful. Do you get many insects indoors living in the middle of the woods? I hope you continue to update us on how your house was built as well as future projects.

It’s beautiful I love it.

This is beautiful! Thanks for showing off this place. Building a similar '90%' earthbag house in Sri Lanka, so it was very useful to see an example from similar tropical conditions.

Nice! Especially love the floor and round walls.

Awesome I love it...thank you so much for sharing

this is really beautiful and pleasing to look at. Wowww. Found myself smiling a lot as you did the walk through. Im in Costa Rica about to decide which direction I want to go with my project... where are you?

This home is absolutely amazing.

Brilliant. Looks like majority structure is Concrete, wood, steel..

That turned out so nice! Love it! Glad it's holding up well with the humidity! Beautiful! 🙂🏜️

You combined all the materials very nice! I love the floors and all the wood!

Fantastic job congratulations it's super gorgeous!!!

Well done. Great video.

Beautiful home ! Love it ! 😊❤️ 👍 from N. California.

80 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit is not that hot. In central US, we have already reached over 90 degrees F and it's not even summer yet. What makes it seem hotter is that humidity. Lovely house, btw. I want to build one but don't have the land for it. Also, what are the red flowers? You have them in front of the house and outside the kitchen window.

It's awesome. I would love to have a house like that.

WOW!!!

Truly beautiful home!! Everything is both practical, well put together, and yet still stylish and beautiful!! I built an underground home back in 1984-5 and I still live in it and love it in Georgia USA. Have you had an condensation issues in the areas of your downstairs that are earth sheltered? (buried in the ground)

Beautiful 🤩

Your house looks beautiful, what a great job! Hope to see more videos. God Bless you.

Absolutely gorgeous 😍! You and your husband did a wonderful job. Do you mind me asking what house plans did you use? Did you order Owen Gieger's plans or did you draw your own plans?

Amazing 🤩

It's really beautiful. Cheers to you and yours in your Interesting,and imaginative, built home,sweet, home 🏡

I love your sink! It’s so beautiful! Wonderful charming house full of character!! Incredibly inspiring 💜

Thank you for the tour. We also live in Central America, Catemaco Veracruz. My husband and I are about to embark on building our earth bag home. We will follow your channel and probably ask many questions. Where is your location?

So Gorgeous! Great job building your own oasis 💜

Absolutely beautiful!!!

Who did the small paintings in the first bedroom?

Gorgeous beautiful 🤩

Beautiful I love it great job so inspiring

Absolutely beautiful

Thank you for sharing!

I really love your house. How long did it take you to build it? I live in Panama and was hoping to do the same thing. Glad to hear it is doing well.

I love your home, plan on building one in northern Nevada.

Waiting for more videos

Hola, me gustaría tener información de cómo y que materiales usaste para las paredes exteriores e interiores, por favor. Cada que veo un vídeo de este tipo pido información pero no me dan. Estoy como el de San Juan que pide queso y no le dan y pide pan y tampoco le dan. Gracias

awesome. it is beautiful

Congrats on your beautiful home! Where is this gorgeous place?

Nice house...! Can you tell what type of plastering you did?

Super

Beautiful ❤️

It’s beautiful

I want to do this one day with a partner. I love looking at all of these videos to gain different ideas for the future. Yall are very lucky.

Muy bonito, estoy ansiosa por ver mas videos suyos!

please what do you mix with the clay to get this great house?

Hello Thanks for showing off your home. I'm old, fat, and lazy and that's not near as pretty as it sounds. Crippled now too. The knees eh? Oh well, sucks to be me. Still, I have been planning a superadobe structure for years and finally could afford to start. I have a very limited income. Still, the local bag manufacturer had a client go bankrupt and was stuck with 40,000 24x30 bags suitable for the work. So far I managed to buy 875 discounted bags and believe I'll buy as many as I can until they are gone or I am done. They are not that great a discount either. I'll shoot for three thousand in case I want another structure or a bigger one. I had a design of two interlocking circles with a door where they interlock. One circle will have the flue for the wood stove and the other will have the skylight. Dreams eh? Still, everything is fluid for now. I'm slowly collecting everything I think I'll need for an off grid dwelling. A couple of 100 watt solar panels, the large inverter, .. just need the batteries now. Pretty sure I'll rig a little rocket stove to heat up a large quantity of sand and heat that way too. In floor heat eh? It will be a shallow well and a Swedish composting toilet. It's built in with a long sloping stepped slide to the bottom where the once a year clean out door is. Gotta get the slop just right, too steep and it slides down too quick and not steep enough could plug up the works. The system has a flue/pipe through the roof that takes care of any order but you have to have a tight seal on the lid or you lose your heat. Sucks it right up and out with the order. I'll have a small workshop or three over long weekends to start and count on my good cooking to bring the labourers back. Just see how it goes and play it as I see it. That and my years in the entertainment industry as a host left me knowing how to make people feel welcome and when people feel welcome it generates good will, ... and it's amazing what happens with a little good will. I'm shooting for as simple as possible with the "sand pile" I inherited. About two acres of 6 to 10 feet deep sand dredged from the harbour years ago and piled in the low wet end of the field. It used to be higher than road level but has settled a lot since then. I can't think of anything better. Because of the shortage of soil I'm thinking a little cement will do the trick. I'll make three or four test bags first to get the mixture right. Oh, I'm northeast Canaduh, ... it gets as cold and wet here as it does get nice. I'm thinking a good water proof layer of plaster or cement for the outside and a breathable plaster for the inside. Being a 24/7 365 day a year caregiver for two elderly people does cramp my style so I'll just change up the style a bit. I live here for free as the caregiver but will need a place of my own someday and it's just across the road if I can get it built. Dirt cheap and labour intensive eh? I'll be counting on a little respite from the rest of the family of course, but that's been a rare event ever since the pandemic and all. I was under the impression the 24x30 inch flat bags would make blocks about 16x24x4. To make the adobe blocks 6 inch high would make the wall too narrow at 12 inches. Every inch counts eh? Sorry for rambling, .. I don't have a lot of people to talk to about this project so I unloaded on you, ... Have a great one.

Dream place,mine would be atop a secret cave that housed a Peyote grow and sacred Ayahuasca ceremony area

Que cool! Yo vivo en costa rica y quiero hacer una en el futuro :)
