** This thread discusses the content article: Begin Here **

I wanna live in one of these so badly now! My friend got me into the idea... I think he is going to a seminar on them.... so what if you go through a dry season does that mean you don't always have water or is the same water recycled? I might get the books... lol forget college if I could sustain myself in one of these with a part time job I would be fine with that...

I'm on the build it as I can afford it plan. So I got the land. Now collecting tires. Once I get the tractor with a loader I'll start on leveling the building site and building the walls.

Then I'll add roofs to the U's as I can afford it. And of course finish the walls and work on adobe floors. I might go with just finish a 1 or 2 U's at time so I have something to live in besides Cabover campers.

The good thing is my future neighbor is a pop drinking addict so I think he will take care of the cans for me.

I also noticed plenty of beer bottles on the side of the road. It looks like the miners tossed them out the window when they got of work from mines. Maybe one day I'll pick them up for the bottle work.

Thank you for all the resources on your website! They have been very helpful in educating my friends/family and community peers about Earthship Biotecture. I am helping a group called LoveLovingLove to gather signatures and propose a buildsite in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. It has been "abandoned" for at least the last 3 years. They are doing a great thing for our urban environment and we all can't wait to start building with the tires filling the lot itself : )
