Build Steps TA

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

Pre-Fabrication

• wood gas generator
• 12 panel solar setup
• solar thermal panel

Probably also want some sort of small tractor.

Buy Land

Not much to say, but this is going to be a long, painful process.

Power

Get get solar setup. This is necessary to power the tools for everything else.

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.

Start Tiny House

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.

Greenhouse

Moving in will take years, but I can setup a greenhouse and start extracting value in a few months.

Workshop

Polebarn construction. This will hold both the tools as well as a lot of mechanical systems.

Primary Structure

1. Foundation: I'm leaning towards contracting to have a basement constructed.
2. Bale walls
3. Roof

Interior

1. Kitchen
2. Bathrooms
3. Laundry
4. Closets
