Our earth sheltered home will use an underground "umbrella" to stay warm and dry. This time-lapse video shows how we added the first layer of dirt (phase 1). There will be a second layer to place after this.
For up to date info on this, you can follow our progress at www.facebook.com/HomeintheEarth/

39-0-ecosmart-36kw-on-demand-hot-water
Lots of jobs are dependent on upstream jobs. In this case, I needed some nice warm water so I could get stucco done in the bedrooms over the winter... So this video is about hooking up our EcoSmart 36kw on demand hot water heater to our QO breaker panel and running a temporary water line to the bedrooms.
This is all part of our earth sheltered home building project. You can learn more at our website (www.homeintheearth.com) or at www.facebook.com/HomeintheEarth/

This video shows how to take apart your Great Stuff Pro Guns and repair them.
These are useful tools, but do tend to break down and I couldn't find any videos on Youtube showing how to take one appart and put it back together again, so I decided to make my own.

PASSI
passive-solar-windows
Later in the summer and we are getting back to working on the windows, this time we are installing the passive solar windows on the south side.
These windows have a special low e coating that lets in the wave lengths that carry heat into your home (and fade your furniture), but then trap the lower wavelengths that try to escape again.
The bit about the extra blocking above the windows was that we had built those bucks following an earlier copy of the plans before Pella changed their transom sizes... We had correct plans available, but I had accidentally used an old copy and made the bucks 3 inches too tall. Oh well... Live and learn.
