I am starting a project in southern Mo. ten miles from Ar. state line. I have 40 acers of red oaks and will start with a 12’x16′ underground work shed, to be followed by a 5000 sq. ft. 3/4 underground earthbag timberframed house with waterproof umbrella and earth tubes for heat and cooling and fresh air. I have a portable sawmill and a old backhoe. In-need of a lot of help ,anyone interested in this project with advice or hand on please contact me.
Earth tubes can have mold problems in humid climates. And you can easily have moisture problems by building below grade in rainy climates.
