    Watching this really is getting me pumped up to get started on my earth bag build. I have a 2 acres given to me by my dad that I want a little off grid roundhouse. I'm still in the planning stages and trying to source local materials is proving more difficult than I anticipated.

    This was great! I have to admit that my favorite part was when one of the kids decided to just kick back in a box for awhile. :-D
    The only thing that would make this video even better would be occasional text descriptions overlaid on the video with what's going on. I'd like to know what kind of bags you used? did you have any oopsies that you had to adjust for? was that straight soil going in the bags or did you mix in anything fibrous like grass? and did the bags on the hill side of the house lean right up against the hill? or is there a gap there?
    This looks like a really great project. It was a lot of fun to watch the video. Thanks!

      Unfortunately there are no permits or regulations available at this time in Portugal for earthbag construction. We want to share information about earthbag building, but We cannot and do not advocate for violating building regulations.

    Is it possible to build bigger rooms with Earth bag? If so how much bigger can the rooms be before structural issues occur? Love what your doing.. great work.

    • @Algarve_family_ecobuild
      @Algarve_family_ecobuild  2 года назад +5

      Of course! The sky, or your imagination is the limit, it’s also possible to build two story buildings!
      A curved wall is always stronger than a straight one.
      And when the wall is longer than 3m then you would need to buttress the wall with a 90’ segment, that is or exceeds 1/2 of the height of the wall in length, at least at the bottom of the wall. It can gradually get smaller at the top, as to form a curve or step type feature.. and you would need to do this every 3m or 10 feet. Between the corners of the building.

    • @Algarve_family_ecobuild
      @Algarve_family_ecobuild  2 года назад +5

      Every wall is on 80cm deep gravel foundations with a drainpipe in it. So the water can’t creep up the wall. The walls are rendered with lime and sand which is breathing but can’t be penetrated by any insects or mice
