I'm a 73 year old grandmother. I truly wish my kids and grandkids could have had the life you're giving your children. Your hard working, artistic and loving. You have it all.

[@jasonlightfoot4145]

I kid you not, I am pretty sure I have watched EVERY bit of earthbag content on KZbin and you folks are killing it!! Your attention to detail is incredible and the symmetry of it all is "chefs kiss" !!! Thank you for setting the bar.

[@Nancelot13]

Y'all have some awesome kids. I wish more people understood the value of having their kids work while they're young. It creates much better, far more successful adults!

[@Bildgesmythe]

Absolutely!

[@SolanaDevon]

That was very sweet to save the broken tamp and put it in your house. ❤

[@janebrummett8014]

At 16:21, it looks like a modern cathedral. I’m impressed with how consistent the layers are, that is a lot of hard work and artistry.

[@lisaevans8258]

You guys have it. 92 is not that bad

[@audiomxr]

There is NOTHING BETTER than fresh sheets!!!

[@patrickrussell1888]

Yah, and I rotated the mattress this morning and washed the puddle cover (the cotton/polyaster fitted cover under the sheets)...putting on some new sheets from Costco...brushed cotton to see how they feel vs flannell...we getying pretty close to the desert winter!

[@Bildgesmythe]

Especially dried on an outside line!

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

Such hard workers getting things done. A shower and clean sheets, nothing better. Hugs to you all.

[@angelolson1169]

Sometimes, you have to do things out of order in order to stay in order. And it's good to have goals🎉

[@matenloe2598]

Oh The House Looks So AWESOME with the window frames in... The drone shots really stand out as well, what a perspective the whole Round-House has as it grows.

[@AMinton-h9k]

One of the main reasons I’ve enjoyed your videos is watching your children grow up❤️ Jett & Jax are getting so tall. The practical education they’re all getting is amazing. It’s good to see the progress you all are making. Love the dogs & cats too😊

[@christineingram55]

All the little things like the broken tamps you added will make the home more special.In the old days they would put an old boot in the walls ,or hidden in the attic to protect the house,sometimes a child’s or a man’s ..I believe it was to protect from evil,but it could have been other reasons too..Other houses have been found with other special things in like something special to the family,or a tin with little memories..But I really loved that idea of adding the tamp..Each layer makes it more like a home,it’s surprising how fast it’s moving now you have gone past the ground level..It must make you feel more excited to see it coming together now too.I think it’s incredible and an honour to be able to watch you all work on it..Sending love to you all 🥰

[@guillermodelnoche]

Do the dogs have hyper adobe houses? Maybe they could have a roof top deck with stairs on theirs for an elevated view of their world? You guys are crushing it now!

[@graskeygirls3850]

But it is a dry heat they say😂 so precious that you put David's wood paddle into the house

[@sandigray6247]

All those little things that are so important and HAVE to be done! Congrats on tackling it in the heat and getting it done! Y’all are just amazing to me! This is truly going to be a HUGE labor of love and I’m stoked to watch y’all bring it all together. Say a prayer for the flood/hurricane folks in TN/NC. Love you guys!

[@Shasta1]

Your kids are learning so much. Mad skills, teamwork, and the confidence that comes with being self sufficient. These skills and values will be with them for the rest of their lives. ❤❤❤

[@faithrada]

Right now it looks like you're building a very pretty Parkour Course for the dogs 🐕 & cats 🐈‍⬛️ 👍

[@sashacat53]

It’s so good to see you are enjoying yourself while building your home. It is so important to let it progress at your pace and not wish it was over.

[@nathantonning]

Noticed the leaky watering can at 19:40. 2 part epoxy putty molded around the joint really works to seal up the joint. Or, you can use a butane torch and solder to close up the joint. Always good to see the progress you folks are making. It's really encouraging!

[@woop2235]

40:00 now these pets are very much loved🥰 you can just tell by the interaction! Your dogs are beautiful and so are the siblings 🥰🙏🏽🌵🌵🌵

[@karenanderson4639]

You guys rock! Persevering through the heat to get more bag laid takes a lot of will power and physicality. Be proud!

[@rdavisrock]

Your whole family is Awesome. The round house is coming right along, and looks great.

[@LucindaSutherland-w2u]

The memories you are building and saving are tremendous. Thanks for sharing them

[@patriciasmith9712]

What a great playlist, your choices of music really relax me while you work away lol

[@eraboyd5894]

Appreciate the realness of y'all showing the push through. Still getting it done even if it's not fun/comfortable/easy.

[@lindawilson4625]

I'm always amazed when you discover problems, then create solutions. It's a pleasure watching your channel. I look forward to every episode.

[@killacrush3437]

Ashley you are the motivational Queen❤ You inspire me to do so much stuff with my RV right now that I live in

[@killacrush3437]

😊 and you're pretty

[@aknorth1053]

for the receptacles you may look at the hubble snap connect receptacles you can wire in the snap connector before finish work and then afterwords it's just plug and play to add in the receptacles. It may minimize some of the pulling of wires

[@jo-ellenbass2261]

Some rules are made to be broken, especially if switching things up makes overall progress go better. Looks to me as if you are getting a lot of those little fiddly bits out of the way. Besides, when it is hot, its a lot easier to see progress on those short runs. Good to see both of you, all the kids, and some cameos of the pets.

[@Mammiesgarden]

Unscrew the end of your watering can and soak in vinegar, calcium deposit or dirt build up 😊

[@brendamower1412]

It's exciting to see your house come to life!

[@desertdirk1]

I so admire ya'lls hard work, diligence and attention to detail.

[@patrickrussell1888]

Yellow blooming rabbit shrubs coming into fall showing of yellow masses in the community. One of my favs along with sagebrush.

[@dottier3145]

In actuality, you could do level 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 between windows! Can’t wait for the visitor help!

[@ChristineKelly1000]

Oh I love the smell of air dried bed sheets. My grandmother used to hand wash hers is some kind of red soap and then hang them outside. That smell always brings my grandmother to mind.

[@KerriHastie-zp5ey]

HI Its great to see you all. The family looks strong . It's wonderful to watch your story growing ..thanks for sharing. best wishes ☆ Australia

[@betharechiga6858]

Nice, it seems to move faster because you can see the effect of each row on the door frame. Like a thermometer on a fundraiser. You are halfway there!!!

[@TimAZ]

Thank you for sharing. I liked how you connected the junction box from inside to the outside of the wall. Jumping up and down off those walls is going to get very difficult as the walls get higher. Your knees will pay a price. As opposed to a ladder, I would suggest that you build a staircase on wheels. It can be used for those needing to be on top of the wall for tamping and also for those with buckets.

[@wadeprior5203]

Good morning how are your folks doing today looks like everybody's doing okay keep up the good work

[@wandacraig8286]

You all kicked it!!! Looking so good! And I loved that you incorporated the tamp into the house!❤ Just watching the kids, it suddenly dawned on me that by the time you get the house finished, the kids will pretty much be grown, at least three of the four. But hopefully they'll be like me and want to hang out with Mom and Dad for a few more years and not be in a big rush to strike out on their own. ❤❤❤❤

[@carrieturner414]

Ashley, if you screw off the top of the watercan and you'll be able to CLEAN out the dirt inside of it.. i have to do that sometimes so the water comes out evenly. Dirt gets inside easy.. let me know if you find it to be little pebbles ❤ can't wait to see the starting of the roof , great🎉. Your family is awesome to deal with that 92* weather. Don't push yourselfs still have tomorrow, don't want to forget anything.. blessings to you all 🎃🌙🙏🕊

[@moniquevelasco20]

The house is taking shape and it looks so good. All the hard work will pay off big time, so keep up the great work. Love and be safe!😘🌻VE

[@theresadonnelly9299]

Change is good. Difficult but a learning experience as long as you are present and enjoy the process. Nice work ya'll😂

[@michaelmitten2977]

You guys are awesome. Your hard work and dedication to building out your property and now this amazing house, well, I'm in awe of it all. Another great video and editing by all that had a hand in it. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your progress.

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

Yes it's why too hot for this time of year, climate change has definitely effected us and this may be our new normal. Stay hydrated and have a good week. Count your blessings. 👋😇👍

[@dugdru2]

Seemed like summer in Tempe, AZ used to be over by September when I was a kid - but went on into October as I got older.

[@u2cancatchme]

Sensational views 💕 so exciting your home is looking magical. So happy for y'all 🎉

[@Marleen.Remeysen]

It's nice to see that also you know to be flexible on certain rules 😄! I think it gives all of you a boost, it looks more efficient to concentrate on these complex parts in the construction. Nice job in the heat 👍... here in Europe (Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium,...) lots of rain and wind, I'm glad the weather is calming down for the next days. Me too, I need to continue a house- construction (stones). Nice, sweet dreams in the fresh sheets! ❇🌠🌒

[@poetmaggie1]

So good to see the window frames up. Congratuations.

[@JL-hn6hi]

If there’s such a thing as heavy-duty exterior outlet covers, those might be a good idea. The plastic covers can get blown off by wind.

[@patrickrussell1888]

Don't forget to seal the exterior openings so critters like wasps, ants, etc. can't get into interior. Ask Trent and Allie about their HVAC ducting problem they discovered (Utah mountain construction at 8,000 feet). Hint: invading wasps.

[@livingamadatlife]

Your new home will be amazing when it's finished. Quick question how will you do the higher levels will you use a scaffold tower? Y'all doing fantastic my wife and I are praying for y'all for your strength and wisdom bless y'all your grown children are such a blessing to you both. Have a cooler week and thanks for sharing. Manchester UK.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Yeah just scaffolding

[@TinaAbney-l2m]

So awesome together & beautiful set up filming ☀️

[@chandrasutton4669]

Wow, that is some great progress!!!😊🎉❤ Whoot Whoot 😊😅😂

[@dorothybarnett5022]

Your expertise at layering and flattening the bags into an even layered long brick is so consistant. And you are teaching the quality of the "trade". Your students have the best instructors. I am also looking forward to your early spring to early summer garden.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thank you!

[@baskervillebee6097]

Is it the time of year or the success of the berm system ? It looks so much more GREEN in your yard than in past years.

[@damogranheart5521]

I agree! It is much more green, and yes, it is the berms and swales! 🎃🍂🍁🐈‍⬛

[@patrickrussell1888]

If AZ was anything like Albuquerque this summer, there were more monsoon events...the Desert Willows were literally blooming all summer. Our ornamrntal Purple Plum trees actually had A LOT of fruit on them (unusual to see conspicious fruit) this spring lasting thru mid-summer...very strange. Its odd how plants seem to just know when to sprint toward reproduction! Possibly a colder winter had something to do with it. Your swale is certainly a great water catchment, benefitting the deeper rooting trees.

[@FarmingInTheWild]

Your home is looking better and better everyday! ❤

[@christiannemayer6062]

I say"Oh WOW" you guys are working hard at getting course 9...done. congrats🌞❤️

[@AdobeDregsCoffee]

Hey gang, looks like you're movin' on up! Out of order don't matter much now cuz I know you'll get back on track and be on course 10, 11, 12 and to infinity before you know it and...ah-hem...no one has to know! lol

[@lj4160]

My fav part of watching the bags go down is the time lapse of Jonathan tamping them. 🤣it’s coming right along!!

[@bbbanks6912]

You folks are so positive, it's such a delight to watch you! Thank you for sharing your life, joy, and knowledge!

[@DouglasFergen-pq9ru]

You two are so inspiring! Thanks!

[@janetkoball44]

Everyone is such a productive worker and sooooon it will be done and there will be fried chicken and roasted corn and nasged potatoes and white gravy and a beautiful salad for you all to enjoy after you all hold hands to celebrate your huge accomplishment! See you all in your next visit. Thanks

[@susanchapman4140]

I can't wait for your videos every Saturday!

[@kathywilkins1148]

Holy cow! You are making good progress! I LOVE to watch the walls go up!

[@Skattie]

Stuff is definitely happening, you moving along so well ❤

[@MC-qb1jg]

What a beautiful homestead. The views are incredible.

[@Nancelot13]

It would be so nice to wash the clothes and hang them in the sun 🌞 to dry. However, here in sunny Florida, it has rained every day but 5, for almost 7 straight weeks, and the humidity at 85 to 100% means things don't dry...lol Imagine your temps, but water can't evaporate... it just accumulates... and gets wetter. At least when y'all sweat, it cools you. Here you get stickier, sweatier, and wetter and wetter... all the time, from the second you step out of the A/C... LoL However, we are never more than a couple feet from plentiful water! Everything is a trade off!!!

[@TinyShinyHome]

It’s a dry heat 😅

[@jimmyc8951]

Team Work make the Dream work!

[@tanyacouchman6534]

Wow, you guys are knocking it out!! It may not feel like it especially on the super hot days. But I sure can see the progress. I hope it cools down soon, that will help. Way to go Tiny Shiny Family!! 🤗

[@maficstudios]

A thought on efficiency. It would be best if you were getting your gravel delivered to piles all the way around the house, and move your mixers to be right next to where you're laying bags. That way, you're not moving material unnecessarily and rehandling it. I'd even make a little bit of a bucket lift, so you can put a little funnel on the end of the mixer, straight into a bucket, lift it by winch, and into the bags. WAY less effort. You could probably do more with one less person per shift.

[@jangrahame4891]

LOL, What you need for a whacker, is a nice ashwood cricket bat😂

[@Tjo-s6y]

🙏🩵💙 We’re dealing with the same weather temperatures here at the South Gate to Yosemite. Have you ever seen a oak tree droop ? It’s sad 😢😢💙🩵

[@TinyShinyHome]

😢

[@MrSunlander]

Sometimes one needs to break the long-term, redundant pattern with something that is shorter and brings accomplishment so vary those patterns - so long as you can still get things done efficiently.

[@patrickrussell1888]

...and all the layers line up

[@debbralehrman5957]

You Guys are doing great.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🍂🍁🍂

[@robinkesler453]

Ashley love the pink T Shirt. Looks good.

[@MrRiorust]

The kids are killing it with the dirt work! Do you have an estimate for how many tons will be required to fill all the bags? Jonathan and Ashley are doing an amazing job of keeping it all moving. I had to laugh when Jonathan said it was getting harder to get on top of the bags, followed by one of the dogs cleanly leaping right over the same spot. And I thought mowing an acre and a half with a manual reel mower, and shoveling the snow off our 300-foot driveway was tough.

[@NedbLegocity]

Re: Dave being ‘forever in our house’… 😂 the window/wall will be listening? Just kidding. Love the progress!

[@eyetok_alot]

how many courses are there in the walls in total when finished ? i am just curious when you'all going to be half way

[@Carlab2pml]

I wonder that also.

[@TinyShinyHome]

We talked about this in our last live Help Us Build our Hyperadobe Home! kzbin.infokGc0AS5EiP8?feature=share

[@bhavifoxglove1319]

Wow! What troopers you all are! And y'all are doing SUCH beautiful work there!! Thank you very much for sharing this with us.

[@ewidmer1]

Nothing smells better than sheets dried outside. You should be able to tighten the end of your water can.

[@StoneKathryn]

Nice, putting the electrical box cleats in the walls. It's looking so official with electrical boxes in the wall. Do the Dudes help? Shake your head no! Yes, after a long hard day being cleaned up and being on fresh sheets is wonderful! I love the braided garlic on the wall in the bedroom. No vampires! I'm glad you love your Birch mattress. Cat on a post! Window boxes up! Putting on outside electrical outlets. Yes, you must protect the pipe that goes through the hyperadobe bag. It's good to plan some outdoor outlets. Good thinking. I love the windows! Yay, bags between the windows. I'm glad you're having a hyperadobe workshop to teach this and get some help on your Roundhouse build! I wish I could come. I can't really afford it right now. Love you guys! I hope your week long workshop gets filled up really soon! Still hot in October! Too bad the water can sprung a leak before the sprinkler head. Nice job on the 9th course! Thanks for this video Longnecker family!

[@MisaMcAnallen]

Almost time for scaffolding 😊

[@sevenonfive1968]

the children are growing .from the time the first layer was laid to the 9th course now.... there is a remarkable growth... the teeen years are screaming out of them

[@killacrush3437]

YAY❤❤❤❤ a new episode 😊😊😊😊😊

[@Nancelot13]

Even the dogs were paying respect.

[@arkbear1]

Love watching y’all! Thanks for sharing!

[@PatriciaBoyum]

Please don't kill yourselves over views. The weather has a mind of its own this year. We have been hot here in Tennessee as well. Yes it's not as hot as you but I have been out working on a car and the sun beating down makes it so much hotter. Keep up the good work...

[@jeanineacree6355]

Nothing like record heat doing this all in

[@laurelpowell5471]

Hi from Alabama. God bless you and your family. Looking good guys.

[@brendakersey8624]

Im still in love with that washer! Remember it brand new.

[@ericjohnson1008]

More bags on bags on bags, y'all are getting done. Keep up the great work.

[@GODLOVETHEM]

Also, have you or suggest you consider a very low window, if it’s not too late - for a bathroom that has a soaking tub to look out over the landscape. Or, maybe a soaking tub in the main house can be elevated to window height so baths can be enhanced with beautiful views. Just living vicariously here! ❤ your videos++++

[@JudeSpaulding]

❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😮😮😮😮😮 I can't get over how hot it is in October. I am over here in Las Cruces New Mexico and just wondering what the heck is going on??? Keep cool!
