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.
Me and my girlfriend are joining. Let’s start our own Hobbiton.
If someone needs to watch the video this is from, I can probably find it after this real stupid meeting I’m in.
Please. That sounds like a fun video !
Edited the above recently, you might not see it yet.
This is the channel, but for some reason I am not seeing the original build video for this one.
He’s a fun one if you like these channels. He does a lot of “decorative” stuff that I very much like.
Low key thats a dream of mine lol
Not so fast, lliving off grid, is considered illegal in some places.
You need land
Which is way too expensive and mostly why we can’t have homes anymore.
Not if you’re in the US or other failed state that removed the majority of their parks staff.
How you gonna pay property taxes
… well, not that realistic, but dreaming is nice.
A door? Oh man back to the drawing board
