Finishing off an archway



Bella, my assistant



Starting the bond beam pour


Bond beam again. Helpers on standby to move ladders and scaffolding


Me after vibrating 10 cubic M of concrete



The first roof truss going on



Lifting the attic trusses into place



All the trusses are up, still got the rafters (at the other end) and the verandah to do.

  1. Hi Bruce!

    I think what you are doing is SO awesome! My fiance and I are hoping to build our earthen home soon too... Luckily, we are also able to take time off work when the time comes) to build. I was really hoping to find a way to email you in the hope that you could answer a few questions I have about the process. I was wondering how you went about getting the plans drawn and passed through council and what sort of costs that process involved. I just can't find any real info on that anywhere on the internet!

    Hope to hear from you! Keep up the great work!

  2. I’m really amazed with your posting skills as well as with the layout on your blog site. Is this a paid style or did you modify it yourself? Either way keep up the pleasant quality writing, it is rare to see a great site such as this one these days.I recently came to know about www.bofuform.com/, their Formworks For Concrete Walls are very effective.
