I have the metal straps which will hold the bond beam down installed with a course of bag over them. The roof logs will be attached to the bond beam and the straps will prevent the roof from coming off in a major wind event. I also show the final course of foam insulation installed and talk about the method I've been using for "easing" the weight of the dirt onto the foam. I discuss the materials and methods for dealing with the vapor barrier. I show the excavation and the front yard taking shape and discuss the importance of having access to machinery.

Jake, been following your youtube channel... Cool build so far! Curious about one thing though, is there any type of waterproofing on the outside of your foam/back of the earthbags?

There is a layer of 6mil black plastic outside of the foam.

Planning to build an Earthbag myself and I'm also in TN. Would love to take a look in person and help out if I can!
