While this drainage work is not required by the county or Formworks building designers. We found that the water run off created erosion and was not allowing the dirt to remain in place on the steep portions on the shell. We get torrential monsoon rains that seem to dump the rain in a big single downpour as often as once a day during the monsoon season.

We were going to bury two containers but had to skip that due to cost and logistics around burying the home. one will go on top of the house and one up by the solar shed for a workshop. the last one we are going to likely sell. We made a deal to buy the portable toilet to avoid rental. we get to sell it back for half price. Just pay $30 for a service when we need it. Had to strap it down becaus...

We used planks to walk on top of the structure because the rebar hurt your feet and anything else you put on it.

This was a bad idea. The wind took it all off. We ended up painting it with rubberized roof coating instead.
Great mods. Love the fire extinguisher, hadn't thought of that one but it's so important! Have a lot of the others, but haven't had a chance to add them yet. jealous you got them all done!
Cool hope you can post a video of your mod when you get them done :-) on my RUclips page I have one showing the lights working at night I'm really impressed how well they work for the price. One of the best upgrades I did since I do some of the road maintenance at night to avoid the summer heat and sun.
@@keppypaul Definitely come in handy!
The low sound was due to my putting my GoPro in it's case for a more stable video on a wand instead of it being in my palm and not in a case. That's 20 weeks not 20 months for the top and tilt kit. LOL
Good to have a multi fuel generator! We always wanted to get one but didn’t happen
We pulled the trigger when Costco had it for $200 off at the store making it $599 plus tax now their at $899 most places and Costco doesn't stock it anymore in the 8500 watt version.
@@keppypaul That was a great deal!
Nice to have the patio done…tough to be two places at once so we completely understand that. Your winds are pretty serious but the view is outstanding!!! Hoping all is going well for both of you right now. We’ve had rain for 6 days straight so we’re still on hold…. Hoping it ends soon 😊
Great video. Learned a lot. Drainage is so important. Question: I only saw the membrane. Did you put the foam insulation you removed on the top of the house too? I didn’t see it. We live in a wet climate so for us we were told to do: membrane, 1”layer foam, 18” dry dirt, 1” layer of foam again, them umbrella wicking, and finally another 12” of dirt. Yours looks so much simpler!
No I used crushed decomposed granite against the Trimco membrane waterproofing using bentonite backed waterproofing rolls. I got the crushed granite material for free but had to pay for delivery. I wanted no insulation between the shell and the thermal mass fill materials. I did dispose of the larger sheets in what we called the atrium between the two domes and the passage way between the structures. We also bagged the smaller foam pieces in 50 gallon trash bags around the base of the structure because we didn't want the materials to go into a landfill. So no we didn't in reality use the foam as detailed in the construction manual. While I didn't use it the way FormWorks building details to use it. We did show them in photos what we intended to use on the the shell in lieu of the foam protection and they approved of our change.
We did not trim the Trimco bentonite matting to fit the curved shell we used the overlap as further protection from moisture intrusion. The savings in materials waste and labor made sense to us. We also overlapped the base layer (first layer) with 2+ foot of Trimco. We had a 2' thick layer of sloped gravel about 3' high to cover the perimeter drain. We placed the perforated drain about a foot below the seam between the shell and foundation. That initial layer of bentonite application was overlapped by 2' of bentonite matting from above. It has yet to show any signs of moisture intrusion. But has shown daylight weeping of water out of the drains. We used bolts and wing nuts along with 4"x6" cut portions of custom cut masonite washers with 1/4" fender washers and wing nuts along with plumbers tape to secure the foam to the rebar using 1" foam spacers. The wing nuts allowed for easy bolt removal as well as no intrusion of concrete into the electrical boxes. We didn't need to grind any of the bolts off either. I will try to post Flickr links but we are really swamped at the moment. Rains are imminent but we aren't ready for it yet.
I will need to find the water proofing photos and upload them to Flickr
@@keppypaul Pics would be great! thank you and no worries on time, we totally understand the situation you are in and we won't be doing it for a while.🙂
The reason I did not need to do that burial process was because I don't get snow and we only have seasonal rains. It is the runoff that we have issues with. Finding a way to control the runoff and direct it to where it is less harmful to the the effects of surface erosion. We live effectively a desert that is experiencing a 20 year drought. Arizona had to tap into the Colorado river as a source of water just like California did. It was called the Colorado river project. We voted on a law that made it part of a developers requirement to prove that they had 100 years of water to support their development. The Developers got the public to vote and pay for the Central Arizona river project. Developers spent a ton of money to spread propaganda and scare the public into voting for it so they could bypass that 100 year water source law.
It is so great to see what the inside walls look like after the shotcrete and also to see your chimneys. We did ours and we had no way of knowing if what we did was right or not but seeing yours confirms for us that all is well! Thanks :-)
Just watching all your videos and I can't believe the size of your home and what a huge undertaking it was to accomplish what you have done!!! Amazing 🙂
Curious what you used to hold the foam. It looks so much easier and more organized than the rebar and lathe we used!
and your views are simply stunning!
What an amazing location you have there!
Oh wow! Thank you so much for sharing this. So good to know we are not alone. Beautiful home and you fly a drone too! So much in common. So you have been at this since 2008? Seems like so long...Would love to see where you are at now.
Oh, I see you have the retaining walls....curious what you used?
