We Finish Building The Massive Earthbag Wall For Our Rainwater Harvesting Cistern

We Finish Building The Massive Earthbag Wall For Our Rainwater Harvesting Cistern
We finally finish the last three courses of our earthbag wall. With this behind us we're looking forward to the next phase of the project.
We also try our hand at making doggy ice cream to help Crew beat the heat.

We are Jim and Jessica, a husband and wife team who decided to make the leap from living the city life to an off-grid homestead. We have no training in carpentry or electrical work. We've come armed only with two Permaculture Design Certificates and a whole lot of determination.

Join us on our journey to move beyond a sustainable lifestyle into a regenerative one. We chose to live in the desert because we love the location and we wanted the challenge of bringing this desert landscape into productive abundance.

Smart move to start working in the cooler parts of the day, I hope it helps. We love making "pupsicles" for our Gracie. Looks like its a winner for Crew!

Way to go guys! I move to my Cochise property in less than 2 weeks! So appreciate being able to learn so much about AZ by watching you guys and also will never forget Jims personal replies to some of my questions. Totally appreciated. I can hardly wait to see this cistern during the monsoon season! Have I said that one before? LOL Yup more than likely.
