build an earthship

I have always wanted to build an earthship. My wife and I stayed in one in Taos last summer. That rocked. First I need to buy some land!

Earthships are a unique blend of innovative and old. They are houses dwellings and homes made from old tyers and just about anything you can get your hands on. Im going to build one of these some day

in a week we will be on the road heading to the Pagan Spirit Gathering, and have a workshop planned to share all that we have learned about Earthships. We are going to invite anyone interested to help us make it happen. We hope to start actually building it by next summer, and it will be good to have already drummed up some support, especially in the form of willing hands.

I’ve been interested in Earthship building for about ten years. I’ve never visited one, but someday I’d like to build one in th Adirondacks or in the Endless Mountains of PA.

Want to learn more about building an earth ship.

I ran into one of my old friends a few weeks ago and we agreed on moving in together. At first we talked about buying a house, but then I suggested that we build an earthship. And he loved the idea. So now I’m not alone with this project. Just have to buy the land and get the permissions, but since we are a part of EU and EU have a great deal to say about sustainable contruction in Denmark it should be pretty easy.

so we just won the auction and bought land 30 miles from Taos, NM. that makes the dream of building our earthship and living in it just that much closer to real.

since there are already so many earthships in taos, and since new mexico has statewide building code, we are hoping to acquire land near taos. we’ve put a bid in and should find out in a few days whether the land is ours.

called the code enforcement guy in costilla county, and they are not wholly unfamiliar with the concept, open to it, but we’d have a fair bit of red tape to wade through to get approvals. somewhat hopeful.

This video says it all….why I want to build an Earthship. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9jdIm7grCY It has been a dream of mine for many years.
