BIG MILESTONE - Plumbing our Hyperadobe Earthbag Roundhouse

[@LaPaloma888]

In the fifties , as a kid , I got to experience Buckminster Fullers new prototype dome in Kabul, Afghanistan at the World Fair . It was set up in panorama so as you stood under it it felt as if you were riding in a rollercoaster .It made a very lasting imprint on me and later as a freshman , I sat in the front row of a lecture that Bucky was gracing us with . Then later , as a hippie- ish art student I watched friends build a dome that they spayed with “ Ferro-cemet “ … so geodesics have had a special place in my heart for lots of years … your video was inspirational 🌝

[@maryhart637]

Whoa, Kyle's homestead is awesome 😎 I've always loved the idea of geodesic domes and his are just spectacular❤❤ What a handy friend you have helping you get the plumbing done🙌🙌🙌 Now, on to the next phase😍😍😍

[@norfcalgreens]

high five to the Homies . that pipe stamp system really has my mind racing with ideas . i'm sure im not the only one . i absolutely love the geodome ecosystem . i built one in the mojavi desert using steel poles wrapped in military camo-netting to cover a swimming pool area. it was amazing how it quickly de-desertified the area and my cantelopes and watermellons absolutely loved it. shade in the desert is a premium commodity . MUCH LOVE ...

[@srice6231]

What a blessing to have great friends like Kyle! His homestead was so much fun to see!

[@moniquevelasco20]

Kyle was awesome helping you guys with the plumbing . All his structures are amazing. Loved the gazebo pond. Keep it safe guys, great job. Love and be safe!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪

[@thewiseturtle]

What did Kyle call the gazebo pond dome? Domezebo? I also like Gazome, or gazombo. Heh. Any way you name it, it's amazing.

[@leapingkitties]

Kyle's domes are so ingenious and what a beautiful interior in the main house. It was so nice of him to help you out and save the marriage. Can't wait to see that first earth bag go down, so much closer now. Thank you for sharing.

[@damogranheart5521]

By all means Save The Marriage! Not that it was really endangered! But we could all do with less strife in our lives.

[@rockingredpoppy9119]

The dome construction is amazing! So many possibilities, one could literally start with a number of earthbag courses up and possibly top it off with a dome! Oh the possibilities!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Yep!

[@damogranheart5521]

That is a Most Excellent Idea!

[@madmex2k]

Seeing that plumbing all laid out and seemingly so quick has to be an enormous sense fo relief off all the TSH shoulders. Cloud was looking concerned, but when Kyle showed up, Cloud even relaxed and took naps. I really like the look of the interior of Kyle's Home Dome, and the GazeboDome would be the ultimate oasis in the desert to relax and take a nap. His hydro garden is going to be fantastic! I would like to see TSH maybe do a follow up visit or a collab where you all can go return the favor and help their family out. Does he have a KZbin channel to follow? Tremendous amount of ideas to maybe incorporate.

[@laruedouglas7972]

That was so nice of your friend helping you with the plumbing. His place is so amazing 🥰. One less thing to worry about 😊.

[@PlantCrazyMom]

It is generous of you to share to us the idea of Kyle's geodesic homes! Plumbing is now done! With your meticulousness in the details plus Kyle's patient expertise, hopefully, there will be no plumbing disaster in the near or far future. One more process ticked and I get to see you all with the red bags again!

[@elizabeththomas8746]

Love Kyle's homestead. Thanks for sharing your home and great talent. So glad he was able to help with your plumbing!

[@fallbrkgrl]

Thank you Kyle!!! And thank you TSH for taking us along as you build your amazing homestead out in the beautiful Arizona desert. Love y'all ❣️ ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎🐕

[@TherealWi24RD]

Wow! Kyle’s house is amazing! Thank you for sharing !!❤ Earth bag walls with Kyle’s dome tech would be a cool project.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Yep, I think that huge aquaponics dome will have some earthbags.

[@Linda-it6ci]

His dome is fantastic.....love the plants crawling up the walls.......Takes the outside, into the inside....great.... plumbing going fast...I was thinking of the older clay pipes...sheesh ..long time ..... blessings darlings.....

[@kittimcconnell2633]

I LOVED those climbing plants on the wall! Houseplants are really great for cleaning the air and they just look homey and comforting.

[@cynthiadugan858]

That was really cool 😎. Loved Kyle’s domes and seeing the plumbing go in so smoothly was amazing. Maybe after the super adobe workshop, you can host a geodesic dome workshop with Kyle and get another guesthouse on the property 😉

[@cynthiadugan858]

Thanks Kyle!

[@veeemit9719]

I’m glad you were able to get the plumbing all set, and hats off to your neighbor for assisting😊

[@Strangernightg]

Kyle is the man with that company he built doing those beautiful dome houses on his property. And congratulations on almost getting to build your dome house . Epic video.

[@bonniefrench9884]

Awesome video, plumbing done, Kyle's help was so timely. Loved his inovative designs. Well done gang !💗👍😊

[@fishinghole333]

Kyle's home is so beautiful. It's the kind of space that seems like it would really inspire creativity. And wonderful light inside, just like its builder 😊

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

Pretty interesting geodesic dome 👍. Don't forget too put knock out glue caps for all of the plumbing fittings. This will prevent debris and critters from getting in the lines, and the need too be in place for the water test. Congratulations! Have a blessed day amen.

[@Murphycats]

Wow!!! Looks like you are building a HOUSE!!!! Somehow, with the familiar picture of pipes sticking up, it looks like a real homesite now. I cannot wait for tomorrow!!! The geodesic domes are amazing, but I love the way y'all are building.

[@robinbliss6513]

Wow! Plumbing is done! Kyle is amazing. His domes are fantastic and so versatile! I love geodesic domes and he has made them practical and useful. Perhaps down the road y’all can get your own “done-zebo”!

[@TCMedicare101]

I think there was a moment of envy and 'oh wow, we should have built a dome house' at 10:30 when you found out it takes 2-3 weeks to complete the insulated shell of this awesome house, LOL. Their place is super cool. Yours will be too! :)

[@probablynot1368]

Wow, what a good idea to include the well casing pipes to protect the plastic pipes. Kyle’s home is unique. Thanks for showing us yet another alternate house construction style.

[@SeshbyStephSymbolicJewelery]

Your family is really close to building up the walls! ❤ So awesome you had some help,that pipeline looks great! Congratulations on your progress 🎇 🙌

[@janetkoball44]

It was so nice that Kyle helped you over that huge hurdle. Nice guy and family. Those domes are amazing too. Thanks

[@gardenspicemb8731]

Kyle,your home is absolutely beautiful!!!

[@hevchip741]

You are so lucky to know some lovely people, Kyle is a diamond, and boy I just love the domes, fantastic idea and very sci-fi. It's great to see other people's ideas. Looks like the cat will be creating up on you more and more when making videos, I was wondering who was going to pick it up first lol

[@kathythorene5873]

Loved Kyle’s Dome structures. You all are closer to starting filling the earth bags!

[@dyannejohnson6184]

I got tears in my eyes…I could feel your thankfulness for your friends help and …it’s done

[@roserocks1979]

Wow, Kyle has come up with a amazing, and unique way to build houses. I love that you have friends that pitch in.

[@ricklearned1686]

Glad to see you getting the plumbing in. Now you won't have to trip over those trenches.

[@flyoverurbangarden4315]

It looks so good. That drone shot that shows the chicken garden and the footprint of your house is awesome. The house looks huge by comparison.

[@MC-qb1jg]

Thank you, Kyle and family, for sharing your knowledge and beautiful homestead.

[@williamlewis8741]

Bonjour la famille et ainsi que Kyle. what an exciting and inspirational vidéo. Jonathan and Ashley, i'm super proud of you two. There's no shame in getting some help from time to time. His expertise is valuable and marriage saving. I'm about two light years away from you all and i want a dome to house my stuff at my forest home. ahhhhhh to dream. with the various pipes jutting through the trenches, i was reminded of a Mad Max movie: creative exhaust pipes on various vehicules. imagine too, if you connected a keyboard to the pipes and made desert music. i'd pay to hear that... it seems that i've spent too much time drooling over Kyle's hydropontic greenhouse. excuse me, i need to go the kitchen and find a health snack. see y'all tomorrow.

[@theresafox4367]

When your all standing in your new home it looks so small. And then you drone it and WOWZA it's huge !!!!

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Wooohoooo!!! So much accomplished! Kyle's property and buildings are amazing!!! So glad he was there to help you.

[@marilynlautner2454]

Hurray Kyle!!! This flower is growing. Just beautiful from the air!

[@sharmanbutler5429]

Enjoying your videos. So love watching you finally get your house. Will enjoy the progress.

[@HookedByNanaKay]

That was really nice of Kyle to come out and help you all! Cool concept on a different style of home building 👍

[@kathrynrodlun8514]

So cool guys. Kyle should have lots of business after you showed it. I love the concept for us older ones. Much easier!

[@robinmillerkroening3493]

I really enjoyed Kyle and seeing his amazing dome builds. He sure knew what he was doing with the plumbing also. Thank you Jonathan and Ashley for including him into your home build❤️

[@PixieDust-eq6kc]

Kyle is so awesome! His domes are so cool. Their home is absolutely beautiful! Great work Kyle! This is why we need real men in this world.

[@rachelwyatt4677]

Great episode! Loving the process! Thank you to Kyle for showing us his gorgeous domestead! You guys are so inspiring--ALWAYS! (love the deburring tool) You're the BEST!

[@sshaw4429]

That home was just beautiful! All those sweet children laughing and playing, was wonderful. I especially loved the plant growing up the dome on the inside. Great episode.

[@greenbankreptiles]

I've lived with folks like Kyle and his family for a few years in a community.. hats off to them

[@janellevoigt5481]

Yes, thank you Kyle for helping them do their plumbing, it looks AWESOME, good job to everybody, looking forward to all the other stuff that needs doing! Love the videos!

[@franksherman992]

Don't forget vent pipes and directionnelle clean outs. One can never have enough clean outs. Love your vids.

[@barbarabeagley6650]

Great episode! Kyle's domes are cool. I'd build one if we could trade neighbors. I live in a tiny town that cries all the time about how it's wasting away, yet runs everything like an HOA on steroids. I've always enjoyed the music you have on your videos, awesome taste.

[@damogranheart5521]

I'm so sorry to hear about the blocked minds in your town! Blessings on all of your endeavors!

[@kenya5806]

I appreciate what you all are doing. Each video you post excites me and brings a smile to my face. Sooo many ideas and sooo many options you have at your disposal. Thanks so much for sharing your journey. God bless.

[@jomomma1512]

I love Kyle’s house! Him & his family are so adorable. I am so glad they came by to help AND give us all a peek into their beautiful home!!! Thank You Kyle & Crew!

[@sandigray6247]

Oh, John! You just said “I just can’t wait to start laying bags!” I’m so glad you got that in this video cause, weeks and weeks from now, when you’ve been laying bags til your eyes are crossed, you can go back and remember how excited you were to start laying those bags. You guys are just incredible. I can’t wait to see how this progresses! Kyle is a genius, those domes are amazing! Could you build one of those for goat barn? Interesting possibilities? You’ve gotten this week off to a great start and I’m so happy for you that those pipes are in place! Love you guys!

[@thewiseturtle]

I was trying to figure out who John was! :-) (I've never heard anything other than Jonathan. So I giggled when I figured out who you were referring to.)

[@peggymclemore1288]

Kyle, I would be interested in a shirt with the design of the house with all of the trenches like they are today! I love your family & your KZbin! Keep up the great work!

[@wadeprior5203]

Good morning guys hope you guys are having a wonderful day keep up the good work and say hi to the animals❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rachellopez3259]

Wow! Kyle's homestead is beautifully! This was an awesome video! Can't wait for earth bags!

[@juneweldon680]

Love Kyle’s inventions. Gorgeous home. Thank you Kyle for helping Jonathan & Ashley get the plumbing done. So exciting!!!! So happy for you to be another step closer to doing the bags.😘💖

[@deano.7533]

If you want to learn everything you need to know about building a Geodesic dome. Research the man, the myth, the legend, R. Buckminster Fuller. Fuller was an American architect, systems theorist, writer, designer, inventor, philosopher, and futurist. My friends father was an art professor at Bucknell University. He loved these structures and was experimenting with them on his property during the 70's and 80's. The triangle shapes that make up the structure distribute the stresses evenly and enable these domes to carry very heavy loads for their size. Take care. sincerely, Dean O. :-I

[@jo-ellenbass2261]

Thanks for the name. So many books on Amazon, including a couple of Kindle Unlimited and "included" on Audible. New reading!

[@SteampunkSteve]

I've gone through all kinds of possibilities for what to build for a house and settled on a dome. When I first moved out here a neighbor stopped and while talking he mentioned this guy who'd lived in a skoolie and had a bunch of domes. Now I know he was talking about Kyle. I guess I'll have to meet him.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Yep, that's him!

[@mcooper5929]

Amazing&Very Talented. Thanks for showing this to us!👍👍👍👍

[@vivianwilliams2216]

Kyle's dome home is so lovely inside! I really love that it had a second floor! And the new building is going to be 3 stories high ! Amazing! 😊👍💕💕💕

[@tiffanygaydos8997]

Shout out to Kyle...it was so fun to see his awesome dome home. What a wonderful place to live. Great job on your entire homestead!!

[@sc-dw6gt]

SO EXCITING! (she shouts : ). That looks beautiful---we continue to be so proud of your steady work, useful learning, great family, sense of humor (!), and style. Thanks for letting us in to share it with you. We drive by your turnoff all the time between Tucson and Silver City, NM, and we always wave and think of you.

[@sondraflesch1463]

I love the family bit really enjoyed just the "Guys" today. ❤

[@MelissaMalzahn]

Wow Kyle home is beautiful his property must look very magical. Great job getting the plumbing done. 🎉🎉❤❤

[@anaclark5751]

I loved the creeper vine plant inside Kyle’s family home. Spectacular.

[@darlapoulsen9767]

Love seeing your progress in the Aerial view!

[@rileymartin7638]

Kyle’s got a dope setup! Can’t wait to see what y’all do!

[@EarthsNourishingBounty]

It's exciting to see the plumbing going in! It's great to have friends like Kyle to help you out!

[@SnowyPe]

Kyle's home is stunning. That big window on the dome. Wow!!!

[@lorenmeyer5290]

WOW plumbing looks great guy's! Thank you Kyle!

[@taviag4302]

"You're not Ashley!" 😂😂😂 Meanwhile all this time i thought the gravel was for the plumbing (what we do here in Queensland Australia). It is fascinating watching your building unfold. You are getting so close to those earth bags, we're all just as eager to see them go on 🎉

[@jo-ellenbass2261]

Good that you caught the trench angle early on. My sewer line is at too shallow an angle, and it causes ENDLESS amounts of trouble. But you caught it, and it is so good to see that forest of standpipes just waiting for stuff to be plumbed in! That tool is super cool, too. (You guys have the bestest toys.) THanks for the geodome tour. I fell in love with them way back when New Alchemy published their bound volumes of designs. Sorry not to see much of Ashley, but I gather she was doing the camera work for this one. So exciting! Those metal tubes now make sense, and you are getting closer and closer to earthbags!

[@maryjoschlee2297]

WOW. I was told ,"It is a strength to ask for help, not a weakness. Amazing progress. 👻👊👊👊🤗

[@StoneKathryn]

Thanks Kyle for helping doing the plumbing at TSH! Where are your plumbing vents Jonathan? They are going to run in the frame walls right? Thanks for explaining about the beveling tool for the large pipe. Wow, those domes that Kyle built are incredible! The R value of that spray foam is fantastic! Would you consider doing some spray foam inside your hyperadobe house? It would be a thermal break from the thermal mass of the bags. I really like the two story house he made. It is amazing how quickly he can put a dome up! I'm so glad you spent all that time to get all the right plumbing pieces Jonathan! You're mostly running sanitary lines. All those drains! I'm so glad you put the steel well casing around the drain pipes going under the hyperadobe bags. You really wouldn't want a broken pipe below you in the future. The supply lines will be above ground? That makes sense since the water will come from a water collection tank. Thanks for this video Longnecker family!

[@thewiseturtle]

SO MANY GEODESIC DOMES! My dream is to have at least a couple of geodesic domes, one being a greenhouse, and the other my house. I have land now, and have come close to ordering a kit, but haven't quite figured out the logistics of getting it delivered, and built, really. But someday! Thanks to Kyle and his family for letting us all see their awesome homestead and domes for inspiration. I'd never heard of spray foam being used as the entire wall material (on a frame structure). I'll have to look into it to see if it's effective in Maine.

[@ronschofield8641]

WOW !! Great milestone accomplished ! Y'all must be very happy. Goodonya mate. HEBEL EST OMNIS ADAM

[@Marleen.Remeysen]

Well...! Amazing constructions on your countryside👍! It's beautifull how it can open up someones ideas! Quiet sure, you're developing right now in your head a 'geodesic dome' plan... 😊. Kyle's house surprised me, outside - and then again inside, but to be honoust... I prefere the plan of your adobe-roundhouse structure (: the inner circle, the textures of the excisting buildings, the glasbottles...). Aaah, what are 3 years in a lifetime... The work on the sewer pipes! That was such a "good oiled machinery"! I expected at least 2 days... Happy for you! and 🥂 on the strong connection Ashley-Jonathan 😄! ♥️

[@peterhicks3516]

Your careful planning, and rational decision about locating of facilities, also contributed to this plumbing coming together so well.

[@damogranheart5521]

Down right meticulous!!😄🌙🍁

[@SJC49]

Love Kyles home. Did not expect a 2nd story. Amazing! What a great guy for helping you out.

[@colleenbrookes-gain6662]

I'm blown away by Kyle's homestead👏👏 🇿🇦

[@hwallis143]

Great job moving right alone. I am so excited for you guys

[@damogranheart5521]

Thanks for the head's up on the deburring tool! I have some plumbing jobs in my future and any help is welcome. Except for the help that says I am an old lady and shouldn't be doing it. Love the forest of pipes sticking up! I got a little weepy with absolute JOY!! Excellent idea for the plastic pipe covers(metal) at the wall junctions. Great to see people working together and willing to learn new scarey things from others. God bless your friend! Also, it was a treat to see how he bulit his own home and his out buildings! An aquaponic dome sounds great! Watch closely. I'm sure he will share what worked, what didn't, and what he will do to correct it! I am so looking for the day you complete your first circle!🖖🍁🌙🐈‍⬛🎃🍄🍂🫖🐓🥧Oh, how I want a pizza oven!

[@shellydunn9710]

Glad to see you have a friend that was willing to help with the plumbing. I would have been so nervous about doing it to. Good job all of you.

Looking great!

Congrats on getting that plumbing done! Really enjoyed seeing Kyle's geodesic domes, very interesting. I loved the plants inside and the swings over the water. Your mountains are beautiful.

Geodesic domes is one of my secret love languages. LOL. That is so cool. In about two years when the house is done, perhaps a workshop like that?
