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.
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
- Foundation: I'm leaning towards contracting to have a basement constructed.
- Bale walls
- Roof
Interior
- Kitchen
- Bathrooms
- Laundry
- Closets
