A small, pole construction with just a roof, no walls. Provides shade and a place to keep tools while the Tiny House is setup.

It may be necessary to have a generator as well. We'll see. If I can get a wood gas generator setup before, that would be great, but don't wait for that.
Maybe build a pole structure carport and put the panels on that. It would give some good experience and the area under it could be used for a lot early on.

Probably a 10'x10' raised foundation construction. During early construction I can keep tools here and sleep here. I also want to get the sanitation system setup early both because it will be needed and so that I can test it out.

This is intended to be a detailed guide to how we will build our Earthship.

Phase 0

  • Pre-Fabrication
    • wood gas generator
    • 12 panel solar setup
    • solar thermal panel
    • Probably also want some sort of small tractor.
  • Buy Land

Phase 1

First year:

  • Car Port
  • Initial Power : Solar panels, possibly wood gas, possibly a generator
  • Tiny House V1
  • Orchard: Will take 3-5 years to start to produce, so start early.
  • Greenhouse V1
  • Start logging and rough milling

Phase 2

Over the next 3 years

At this point I should have a good idea of the build techniques I want to use. I should also have the orchard reasonably established and be producing a reasonable amount of food.
