Pack out baby! You're getting there!

[@justinbaker4017]

yeah! exciting to see. Don't get too down about the humidity issues, they are hard to figure out. my wife and i bought a midcentury fixer upper and have been trouble shooting humidity since we moved in. when in doubt, run the dehumidifiers .

Chad - I forgot - where are you located in the US? We are fortunate in Northern Nevada... our humidity level is quite low. I love going back through your videos! Invaluable advice and information!

You probably will not solve moisture problem at all, to do that you need to isolate the wall from moisturizer soil outside, with plastic, or with concrete with hydro isolational chemicals ... One of basic things in this houses is thermal and hydro isolation , and in most of videos i saw people didnt pay enough attention to hydro isolation at all , and at first steps this situation is very easy to solve, in the end if not solved it is very hard

There is plastic on the outside

Modern earth ship design includes a thermal wrap and water wrap on the outside of the tire wall, ideally with nothing more than the earth tubes penetrating.
