At their youtube page ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPz61MWn8xw ) they say, “Yes, it’s still standing. We did a lot more work to it and lived in it for 3 years. We sold it in 2016 after moving closer to our jobs.”
I was wondering about permits and restrictions. I am looking at moving to the area and also buildomg with earthbags and most places will barely allow it, if at all.
I don’t live there and never have. This is not my house in the video. We’re just reporting on projects around the world. You have to do the research and figure things out.
Where did you buy your bags at? In Alaska or did you have to order them? I am looking to incorporate earth bag construction in some walls of a cottage. Thanks much, Paul.
Our Resources page at Earthbag Building.com has a list of suppliers. There’s at least one large company in Canada.Try to buy local to save shipping costs.
I live in wasilla
Tell me how is your home doing with Fairbanks weather?
My wife and I want to add on to our log home and I’m looking to blend conventional construction to log but also considering alternative construction that has insulation and mass that matches the aesthetics of log. Tell me about your soil mix and the interior/exterior finishes. To include you ground floor/wall foundation. Thanks look forward to your response.
Thanks you Mike
Hey thanks for sharing our video! It was just Wayne and I working on it. Someone came out to help us put the beams up, but other than that it was just the two of us. We are on hold now til spring but hope to finish it next year. There’s some more pictures at http://upsightenterprises.wordpress.com/
any updates on how this building method works up here?

Codes vary from area to area. Contact the county building department. Most counties now have websites that make doing research much easier.
I was wondering about Fairbanks specifically. any permit you yourself may have had to purchase and anu legal hiccups with building there.

Genial!!
anybody knows how many people worked on it?
It was just me and my girlfriend, and our pets. We had one other guy come help us move the large floor beams into place(by hand).
do you have a video, pictures of how you built the floor?? and how you finished off your roof?? and what size bags did you use??
and also.. how did you insulate the floor?? does it stay warm in winter?? what size is the house.. length, width, hight?
Excellent video. Great to see an earthbag home being built in compressed format.
I found it by accident while watching another video. I love seeing all these new projects.
