Eternally Solar Earthbag Projects
It’s been a while since we’ve profiled Eternally Solar’s projects from Earthbag Build.com. These are from their gallery page. Eternally Solar has perfected bags that are ideal for sand. No stabilizers needed. Note: slightly higher cost bags are offset by no stabilizers and no labor for mixing.
Earthbag EcoRancho Update
“Our EcoRanchos are well under way to be finished on the exterior and interior (Lime based Plaster). Missing are the stairs (access to the Lofts) and some other details before we proceed with inner finishings and decor. Towards the end of the Video we show also our other two (2) earlier structures (Adobe Staff House and our Majestic Dome). Our Majestic Dome will be completed after the EcoRanchos. A 4th Dome structure and many other Videos can be seen our website.”
Rex’s House Update
“Heres the skinny [from Rex],
I’ve been working solo on the house for the last 3 months which has slowed progress. Which can be seen as a negative or positive. Its given me a chance to breathe after blowing out of the gates like a ball of fire. I’m currently finished the Lueders stone shower and river rock bathroom floor. I’ve also built a Lueders stone stove area, so the stove has all rock around it. The padobe kitchen bar and sink areas are done. The flexibility of the padobe has been pretty sweet as anything I’ve tried thus far has worked pretty well.
