      Its certainly possible- but may not be “permitted”… There are many ways to get around the rules, I wouldn’t recommend the way Will and Bill did it - sometimes its better to hide what your really doing inside a more conventional plan. Earthships tend to be a big red flag, and just the concept made more trouble for them than was worth it. If you are serious, contact Will directly for more tips…

    Beautiful work amazing video especially because you reveal the real truth which is that you don’t have to kill yourself pounding Tyres! Ive built five earth ships and I’ve done it with children of eight years old and even an elderly lady of 76 who was quite capable of finishing off Tyres using her own genius method of a small hammer and a stick! I made a video a while ago during Covid when I got stranded in Portugal and I was having to do about 50 tires by myself in beating hot sun so I also found much easier way and here’s a link to that video which is as you say quite easy to do and then also I managed to finish it off really with very minimal effort too!

    Just wondering, have they figured out the issue of the walls when the tires start to balls because of a compression, I’ve watched several people who are the second owners of a new ship home having to redo the walls because they say the tires are studying the bulge and ruin the walls and they have to redo them?

    • @TheOffGridGuru
      @TheOffGridGuru Місяць тому

      If done properly, the tires are at compression when you plaster, then settling in the wall would be a result of improper compaction from the beginning

    I visited an Easthship 4 years old and could smell the tires even though covered with plaster... guess my smeller works great even after covid. BTW - couldn't see any tire tread so can only assume tires take hundreds of years to degrade in a land fill so odors likely take same. ouch!

      Walls are fully plastered, no exposed tires inside or out… no smell. Check the final video in the series where we tour the finished build. Also in my experience, being very sensitive to smells, you only smell the rubber when tires are fresh. Old car tires with thousands of miles on the road and no tread left 🛞 are typically what we collect for these builds. They’ve already leached their petrotoxins and no longer stink… Nobody throws away new tires and we don’t use them in construction.
