Thanks for sharing! Always great content!

My only concern is I think after your first big rain that back fill will sink a few inches. I watched a couple earth bag/hyperadobe builds where they didnt account for that. They thought tamping it would be enough. Maybe if the roof is overhung enough and/or come trenches to divert water away from the outer edge of structure.

I like you going hyperadobe but why did you not decide on a round design over the rectangular one?

[DeezyMack]

Is it complete now? When will you show the next water tank video?

Such a pleasure seeing this cistern coming together, R. I want to pick your brain sometime regarding our honeycomb cistern plans when we're back in CC.

Im curious how long it took you to fill the bags and size of the walls. Im thinking of building my own cistern and house but unsure how much time i need to do it myself.

Raschel Knit Mesh is the weave you need for good Hyperadobe

Did you upgrade the brakes on your car so you can stop that extra 500 pounds?

I hit the subscription but no more videos 😢

[jessicasoss]

jonathan (T.S.H) said the weave on the cheaper bags was bad.. but MAN i didnt think it would be THAT bad. ... how did you guys even get dirt to stay in those???

[kenreynolds]

Wouldn't a cylinder be a better design for a cistern? no buttressing required, larger volume to wall ratio...

[totallynotdelinquent]

Could you use this for keeping fish in? I was thinking of doing something similar with an aquaponics system.
