Building a house out of dirt is the only way I will ever own a house. I knew this for the past 20 years.
Just a few months ago I moved into my car, moved off grid, and started to build. At the moment we have a bit of land cleared, a septic system, and we have a water tank.
These are the bags we will fill with dirt to make the walls. Once it’s build the dirt walls will keep the house comfortable year around (no need for heating or AC)
This is how the bags will look when we start making them.
It’s also crazy how I was able to buy and own an excavator for about what 2 months of rent would have been if I didn’t move. Living in the car saved a ton of money. But now we have a $3,000 RV to live in as we build a dirt house.

Look at Mr. Fancy with his luxury bags of dirt.

Bags of dirt: The fourth little pig
The first little piggy had a tent as an outhouse, but it didn’t hold up to the wind.
The second little piggy had a metal outhouse… will it last?
Just added the wood shelving yesterday.
Holy shit thats cool!
Kinda reminds me of a guy who had to tear down a cabin he built here, in Ireland, because he didn’t get planning permission.
We do have permission to build our house like this. I have to give them updates every 6 months. Not many places where they allow this.
