You are just amazing. I cannot believe how you keep filling me in on all the options. It just gets better and better. There are SO many creative choices. I just can’t get over why more people aren’t building these amazing homes. Well, I guess more are now that ever before, but still they should be everywhere. I feel like I am getting a whole education through your blog. I will now better what I want to build when the time comes. There is a lot of work you put into these incredible collections of videos. I really do appreciate it. I don’t own a TV by choice and don’t even watch movies but this is one place I DO sit and watch. I find it so exciting. Thank you for caring and for taking the time to share all these. You give me a gift. Hugs, Robin

I’m amazing? You’re not too bad yourself, Robin.
I think the same of your blog; you keep reminding me of things that I enjoy thinking about. Thank you for taking the time to visit again and again to see these videos (I don’t have a TV either).

I am wondering if someone has information on how to build a earthbag fence to help with noise pollution. I live Up North and the winters are rough. Also, can a home be built from Earthbags here with the snow?
Please send any information too:
