You need a roof over that outside stairway to keep the water from cascading down during a heavy rain. With straw under that dirt floor you want to keep as much moisture out of there as possible.
My group used walkie-talkies skiing. It was a great way for everyone to ski their favorite slopes without losing contact. Especially for the younger people, they could be reached by their meal tickets to get everybody together to share stories over lunch and dinner. I was tickled to see you have gotten them too. Very smart.
Probably part of whatever the house-plans are … especially since the original second dome (now scrapped) was supposed to connect to the house dome as well. Hopefully they will get that tight during the dry winter season, and be ready for the spring rains.
Yeah, I got an almost full 40 lb. tank for $30.00 on FB, and I discovered the Flame King 1 lb. tank while looking for fittings for my camp stove. I've been refilling the thing for almost 3 years off the same tank! And when I need to, I can get the 40 lb. one refilled at Costco for next to nothing!👍🏻
That blaze king setup definitely looks like a lot safer setup than refilling the Coleman canister's that state Non-refillable. I think it's was a good call Jim.
Good info! Plus there are almost no place to recycle Coleman tanks and should never be thrown into trash. National news just had big report and investigation. Companies that produce Non Refillable tanks should be made accountable for recycling too.
Yes, on the overall plan. Love your channel! I'd venture to say I'm one of your original subs. It seems like at the completion rate that you're going...you'll be in the camper another 5+ years. Again, huge fan! Not trying to be "that guy"
It is good to see that you are making progress. It must also make you feel much better to see things coming together. It is looking good. I would love to hear what you are planning to have the root cellar and the dome connected.
Happy Holidayz. Reiterate from earlier. A few of us suggested a drain at the bottom of the stairs. Just some rocks in a hole or more elaborate. I just think water will collect in places with nowhere to go. Anyway, love to see your progress.
Best to eliminate water getting to the cellar in the first place. A LOT of work was put into rebuilding the first one. That staircase will serve as a chute for water to fill it.
Hey good morning you guys hope you guys have a good Christmas out there and I'll be safe out there and God bless you guys and keep up the good work just if you're hurting or just got to take it easy just take it easy and relax you get the rest of the year left 3 more days left and you guys got to do what you guys got to do God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Merry Christmas, Jim and Jess, Peter, Crew, and Uvea! Nice progress! The root cellar roof looks great. Yes, I would love it if you did a video about the plans for what is going to go over/around the root cellar. 🤩🎄💞
Basically you built a basement that you call a root cellar. Since you plan on building on top of your root cellar ceiling that will be called ground level or 1 story. You 2 are doing great. Happy Holidays to both of you & your brother.
They have a basement bedroom in the dome. They might not be putting a whole story over it (most root cellars are actually under a mound of dirt to help with the whole maintaining energy density coverage) but they do call it a (root) cellar, so … similar linguistics.
@@nela9994 Well if they plan on putting any dirt on top of the partical board then they will need to lay down a sheet of thick plastic before the dirt.
Technically, it should never be “over and out” either your message is “over” and you are waiting on a response, or you are “out” and not waiting. It’s for non-duplex communications, because, the way that they work, with the push to talk is that it can’t send and receive at the same time, so, if you are talking, you can’t hear what anyone else is saying at that time. You might also want to start your radio interaction with a “CQ” announcing who you are, and ask if anyone is listening, or otherwise using that channel. It’s polite.
Y'all are getting me excited to see what is going to happen next. It'll be cool to see what goes up instead of a matching dome. I know it'd be hard to match the owl house on top.
I've been envisioning some sort of a greenhouse over the cellar as you progressed with the build, glad to hear that you have a plan to enclose it with something, can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve, all the best for the new year!
🎇🎆⛺⛺🎆🎇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Two domes was the original ( and still the best ) design plan organizing all the living spaces in the domesteaders earthbag domes homes.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Jim, that good to know I didn’t know if we can do that thank you Jim and Jess thank you very much for sharing that we feeling little bottles like that propane
What are your plans for a sustainable firewood source? I know some of the vegetation on the property provided a limited supply of branches, is there a lot of that vegetation on the property? What would it take to give you a booster on progress? Specific tools? Specific materials? Some help in particular areas?
Definitely would like to see and hear about your house plans. You two just keep doing your thing, and we'll keep watching. Hope your Christmas was a special one.
Merry Christmas guys, have a great time and I wish you the very best for a safe, healthy and prosperous new year. Thanks for sharing your journey to fulfill your dreams.
Jim and Jess, THANK YOU for sharing your gifts of innovation, hard work, and determination throughout the year! I have no doubt that the end results of your project will be amazing and I look forward to watching your quest to achieve it. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thanks for watching! We hope you have a very merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to my Favorite Dirt Bag Couple and family.
Your far from being teenage Dirt Bag's, I sincerely wish you's the best Christmas and a new year of good luck and happiness.🙏🎄❄️☃️✨
Merry Xmas u two
Merry Christmas! Love your channel!!
Merry Christmas to y'all 🎄. You are making progress all the time 💪👍👌
hand drawn homemade blue prints reveal and discussion , yes and yes
You need a roof over that outside stairway to keep the water from cascading down during a heavy rain. With straw under that dirt floor you want to keep as much moisture out of there as possible.
Agreed
Refillable bottles, and replaceable tire valves. Lasts a lifetime.
Hands free VOX, great when Jess is dangling from the top of the dome, and needs both hands.
Yea guys, seeing some plans would be really helpful... and interesting.
Hope you all have a blessed and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May God continue to bless y'all ❤❤❤❤

Especially for the younger people, they could be reached by their meal tickets to get everybody together to share stories over lunch and dinner. I was tickled to see you have gotten them too. Very smart.
How are you going to keep the rain and water from flooding it down the staircase?
I’ve wondered the same thing!
Probably part of whatever the house-plans are … especially since the original second dome (now scrapped) was supposed to connect to the house dome as well. Hopefully they will get that tight during the dry winter season, and be ready for the spring rains.
❤TY for the VIDEO 😊 PEACE
Yes let’s hear your plan.
Yeah, I got an almost full 40 lb. tank for $30.00 on FB, and I discovered the Flame King 1 lb. tank while looking for fittings for my camp stove. I've been refilling the thing for almost 3 years off the same tank! And when I need to, I can get the 40 lb. one refilled at Costco for next to nothing!👍🏻

Good info! Plus there are almost no place to recycle Coleman tanks and should never be thrown into trash. National news just had big report and investigation. Companies that produce Non Refillable tanks should be made accountable for recycling too.
Now you need to tape the seams in that floor/roof with 6" wide aluminum tape to keep water from dripping in.
Yes, on the overall plan. Love your channel! I'd venture to say I'm one of your original subs. It seems like at the completion rate that you're going...you'll be in the camper another 5+ years. Again, huge fan! Not trying to be "that guy"
None of us are.❤
Yes yes to a house plans video- perfect topic for transitioning into the new year.
Merry Christmas to two of my favorite peoples. 🎁
Thank you and Merry Christmas. Best Wishes.
Some OSHA requirements, are to submerge certain tanks, to refill.
I have friends that used old pallet wood for a hard wood floor, it's beautiful.
Merry Christmas 🤶
Coghill farm used the pallet wood for the walls of their milk room and it turned out so cool
Recommend you wear safety goggles when filling those minitanks.😊
It is good to see that you are making progress. It must also make you feel much better to see things coming together. It is looking good. I would love to hear what you are planning to have the root cellar and the dome connected.
Great job!
Love that refillable propane tank. I didn't even know this was a thing. Thanks for sharing and as always, great job making progress. Happy Holidays!
Absolutely want to know the new house plans! Sounds exciting. It's been incredible watching you guys shift gears this year. Happy Christmas
Thanks for sharing Happy holiday 😀👍🎄
Get er done Jim I’m excited for you if anyone can do it I know you can 😊
🎉 Merry Christmas to one and all
Merry Christmas friends & the pups!!!
Merry Christmas, Jim and Jess and Peter!
present and accounted for :) Have a very Merry Christmas love you guys.... btw i sent u a message a couple weeks back
Have you thought of using panel sheathing clips on the OSB panels to provide spacing and strength. May prevent warping.
Jim fair play to you for encouraging people to refill their propane safety.😊❤Would love to see your plans for the build.
Merry 🎄to you too. Enjoy watching your progress. Stay warm and safe.
Yay! You have a roofloor!
Of course I want to see what the plan moving forward is.
Always enjoy the videos. Whenever you start the stove, I can feel the warmth. 🎄🔥

Merry Christmas to my favorite youtubers!!!
I love that you guys are so brave just juping in with both feet! So inspiring
Yes, I would love to see a video to show your plans for the rest of the building. Keep up the good work. Love the new walkie-talkies- great idea.
Beautiful view of the mountains. Great video.
Yes, I'd love to watch a plans video!

Jim Good job, be careful with the propane stuff ❤
God bless you and Jess and the family ❤🙏
Merry Christmas to you and Jessica and her brother ❤❤❤❤❤
UV was so funny playing on the teeter-totter!

@@loridyson569 depends if they are using cob or not.
The radios are very handy. My wife and I carry them all the time around our place. Great suggestion!
Love that your roof is really your future floor 🎉
Almost time to start cellarin' some roots! 👍😄
Merry Christmas. Definitely let's see the plans.
The foreshadowing tease for what's next is great! Look forward to whatever you awesome goofy guys get up to next:)🙋
Top Gear Jim and Jess. Way to go.👏
You've got that walky-talky lingo down perfectly!
Technically, it should never be “over and out” either your message is “over” and you are waiting on a response, or you are “out” and not waiting. It’s for non-duplex communications, because, the way that they work, with the push to talk is that it can’t send and receive at the same time, so, if you are talking, you can’t hear what anyone else is saying at that time.
You might also want to start your radio interaction with a “CQ” announcing who you are, and ask if anyone is listening, or otherwise using that channel. It’s polite.
That is cool my friends
keep up the good job.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
The propane transfer is very cool too. 👍🏻
I thing your dog wanted the first dance! 💃 lol Yes post plans, (others might have experienced advice to share for your sucess)! Happy Holidays! 🎄✝️

Merry Christmas & A Very Blessed 2024 🎄

What would it take to give you a booster on progress? Specific tools? Specific materials? Some help in particular areas?
He guys. Merry Christmas. I finally made it back home to Douglas, and you are correct, these mornings are cold.🤠😊
Have a beautiful Merry Christmas guys!!!🎄🎁 Love and be safe!😘🤗❄️🇻🇪
Merry Christmas to all of you. Cannot wait to see what you have in store for 2024.
Can you explain in future video how it will be protected from another flood. My apologies if you already explained and I missed it.

The roof/floor should be 3/4” Tung and groove OSB/plywood. I personally would also glue it to the joists.
