Construction ramblings of the in-experienced

Early concept drawings of the Earth Shelter Home from the exposed back side.
Early concept drawings of the Earth Shelter Home from the exposed back side. One day, we all have dreams of living in an earth shelter home on our property.  This is a project that we are attempting on our own, for the most part.

None of us are experienced builders, though I have spent the past couple decades preparing for this experience by spending time with builders, architects, plumbers, electricians and more. First, I apologize to all of them for being such a pain, but thank you SO MUCH for all the help.  I could never have done this without all the help!

We actually have a number of sites that you can follow along with, but I hope to make a place that we can keep track of all that happens in one place.

In the navigation bar of this site, you will find things in a fairly ordered structure as our time line progresses. This starts with early concepts and goes all the way through to the latest updates. Keep in mind that I have to make an effort to keep things up to date, so if I fall behind, bear with me, my intentions are good.

To get a better image of what all we are doing, follow the order of pages as they are presenting the the navigation bar to the left. We are trying to keep things in a particular order for ease of navigating the site.
