[@frostyfrances4700]

Care to dish more on that? What about permits etc - I don't live anywhere able to hide. I mean, we used to do stuff like build a barn (lower costs, taxes, etc.), then borrow somebody's cow to put in there when the inspector was due; later give the cow back and finish out the place as you would a regular house. So long as you didn't mind the outside appearance of a barn, nobody would bother you. Of course you would lose the drama of asking the kids "Did we raise you in a BARN?" since you actually did.

yeah he lost me when he suggested squatting on someone's property

[@mantis1s1k]

He lost me when I used my eyes to quickly calculate how full of it he is. Title says $1K, video says $2K. Let's assume $1k is exactly as preposterous as it sounds, given we can see more than $1K of material in the video. Using his claims "We built this in 6 weeks working only 5 hours per day for only $2k including labor and all the building materials" and "3 friends can build each other homes in just 3 months" he'd have to pay the other 2 less than $5/hr. just to come in under $2K labor, which leaves nothing for lumber or glass... less than $3/hr. using his 3 month estimate. In other words "squat on someone's property, cut down their trees to use as lumber so you don't have to buy it, get some friends to help you with the promise you'll help them do the same thing later".

I have followed Khalil Gibran for several years as well as many alternative builders - James Hubbell is one of my favorites in bioarchitecture. He has built some of the most beautiful structures I've ever seen. Anyway, the thing I have to ask above anything else is this a building forum that will cover building codes and getting local county/city engineering approval for this alternative building process. Like the tire foundations - is that something a city/county engineer would sign off on? Using "out of spec" locally sourced wood? There are other questions that I have, but the issue is getting the build up with that type of approval.

@@romabatala You obviously don't understand the way it works. YOU can buy land. IF it is within certain city/county limits, YOU are subject to BUILDING CODES. It isn't a suppression by an evil government, but a way to ensure what you building does not become a death trap for the occupants through a total foundation failure to a blazing fire caused by faulty wiring. Yes, building codes can be difficult to negotiate, but setting them aside because you feel they "oppress humans" is a stupid and childish viewpoint.

Wow, it looks like a more complex yet similar building that I designed when I was 14 years old. I was wondering if you have ever designed one that has the building built around an open space that could be planted with bushes and plants and maybe a well for water. The open space could be like a greenhouse that gets fresh air in the summer and be enclosed during winter. I never did much more than think about a partially underground house. I lived in Mexico for a little while and always wished for a home built around an atrium or aviary after seeing some of the old Spanish inspired (at least I think they were inspired by the Spanish) homes that were built around an open space with tiled patios and trees. You designs are beautiful!

Those cats were sure interested. That lovebird wasn't worried. He went right next to the bars of the cage. If he could talk, he would have been saying "Here kitty kitty kitty". The cats went over to him and tried to sniff him. As soon as their noses poked through the bars, CHOMP! After that, my cats lost interest. They wouldn't even look at the lovebird. In fact, they wouldn't look at my finches either. They didn't want anything to do with the birds outside either. They never caught a bird outside. Lizards and snakes they caught. Bugs too.
