This video shows clear, simple directions for making a bottle wall. They are artists so even though the project is for an outhouse the final results are excellent. No power tools needed.

I’m currently designing a small house with bottle wall designs and found this video helpful. This is a great way to use free recycled materials to add color and beauty to a home. Search our blog and Google Images for keywords bottle walls for loads of great ideas.
Very nice. You thought of everything. How about adding some solar powered path lighting for nighttime visits. It would prevent a stubbed toe. Loved your toilet paper bottle. Going to incorporate that into my own buildings.

I been all over this website. Does anyone have a how to guide on building earthbag pyramids as a home? It would be really helpful.
I designed a pyramid shaped pit house years ago. All of my plans are here:

The pit house is here: https://earthbagplans.wordpress.com/2009/03/12/earthbag-pithouse/
No one showed interest in that plan and so it’s only in crude concept mode at this time. It uses earthbags, it’s pyramid shaped and it’s based on a traditional Native American design (sort of).
I’m not sure a pyramid shape (like the Egyptian or Kushite pyramids) is possible with earthbags, at least not without an actual frame to put the filled bags on or you did a pyramid with steep sides like the beehive domes. Like hemispherical domes, pyramids really can’t be done just using earthbags.
