Hi!

I have just started constuction on an earthship, (small, around 1000 sf, built out of pocket, no mortgage) in the Jemez mountains of Northern NM, and am looking for Blue or Green glass bottles (Arizona Ginseng Tea, etc), plus if anyone has any info on any used/cheap POM's, let me know! I already have my PV panels, but need either a complete POM or separately, an inverter, charge controller, batteries, pole mount, etc...

Also - if anyone has info on where to find my beloved 235-78-15's in quantity lemme know! I am having to use 16's to start with, it seems the 235's aren't made anymore..

I built an earthship 9 years ago, and it has performed better than I had ever hoped, and am now doing another one!

I'm building a 2 U ship, with extended mudrooms on each end, so I will have a front face of around 45 feet. I have already obtained a Solahart Solar hot water heater, am going with a dry toilet, so no black water to deal with, and extensive grey water planters in my greenhouse.

I have already built a "growing dome", a greenhouse, that I am using as a shop, and is going to be attached to the Earthship as an atrium, more greenhouse space.

Here's a link to my Dome I just got up -

I have researched many different types of alternative building over the past 20 years, and my hat is off to Michael Reynolds, his crew and Earthships - they rule! ; )

Feel free to e-mail me direct at (remove the commas and asteriks) N,M*H*I*K*E*R*G,U*Y, at, a*o*l* dot c*o*m

peace

That dome looks awesome, is it made of plexiglas or foil ? And how high is that dome ? How much did you invest for it ?

I realize this post is over 3 years old, but I figured I'd give it a shot and try to contact you because you live in an area that I might be interested in moving to and building an earthship or earthship-like home. Are you currently living in the earthship? Would you care to share you experiences?

i live on vancouver island bc. i am willing and able to help build.
