Now that the farm is running nicely, fencing done, pigs trained, chickens ducks turkeys and rabbits doing well, it's time to work on the house again. In this video, I show the installation of the rubble trench foundation and the geotextile which will make the main mass wall of the house monolithic and explain why that is a good thing. I talk about the method for filling the earthbags (which is now somewhat different and better) and show the materials used in building an earthbag earthship with no concrete, which is likely the first earthship style building to be done this way. Credit for the engineering and innovative design ideas must be given to the Architect, Howard Switzer from earthandstraw.com
