We have been having difficulty with this deadly heat wave and drought conditions. We haven't had any rain since May. We opted to stay out of the sun most of Saturday because we were experiencing the largest Geomagnetic Storm ever recorded. I hope some of you had a chance to see the aurora. The storm struck too early for the southern states to see.

We have all are materials with one possible exception. That is earth or soil to get covered. We are still working on getting the garage side walls covered to provide safe passage to tractor the soil. We will complete our final cleaning, application of Ecoline-R with either the 6 inch or 12 inch polyester in problem areas, Ecoshield-EB or Paraseal (with bentonite) and or granular bentonite. We will use this granular bentonite to fill low areas like the cold joints and along the parapet walls. We will cover with our Stego 15 mil barrier, tape seams with Ecotape, install schedule 40, 3 inch hand drilled pipe with filter sock, install two layers of the Foamular 150 (R5 value each) and cover. We hope to get this done before we bake.

We purchase our 300 sheets Foamular 150 from the Prodesk at Home Depot for the second time (90 Sheets first time). They provided a fast quote. Original Price was $13.69 discounted to $11.25 a $2.44 saving per sheet times 300 and over $800 total savings. We still need to pick up the last 150 sheets when they come in. I had difficulty getting the granular bentonite but I finally got 12 bags ($7.98 per Bag) from a local Ditch Witch dealer. They stock this stuff to be sold with their well digging rental equipment.

As for the earth changes, I only meant to keep you and you loved ones safe. These types of subjects take us away from our comfort zones and although many would express they want no part of it, we will have nothing to say on this matter. Unless you end it, you will push to survive which will come with many hard choices and hopefully be all the better for it. I know it is difficult to admit but with much tragedy comes gifts. We suffer and evolve hopefully for the good.

How much dirt will you need to cover, can you pull it out from another part of the property? Can you put a pond on your property and take the soil to the house?

PM me if you want to become a reality television star.

Because of the interest in Ubuntu-Blox by "preppers" I was contacted by a television production company for a series they have funded. They are looking for people like you, not me.

Us humans are a funny lot. When threatened some run, some grab their own and hide, and some become crusaders to save the world.

We don't know what it will take but of the 54 dump truck loads previously placed are disappearing quickly just to berm the garage walls. We may be surprised how much of the roof we can cover but the west berm wall will require a bunch of fill we probably don't have. We could dig a pond but the rock on our property is out of control.

My intent is to awaken your consciousness. To do this, people must exercise the capacity to see the infinite view points. I can see the entertainment value of it all. This planet is much like the Truman show but many know it's all an act. Some where along the line the ones left standing will wake up and become aware of all that is and until then we will play the perfect act. It is OK to buy into this reality completely. My intent is to play to the end and to it's fullest. Check this out if you dare http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR-klTa1y54

Sam:

May I suggest that you start a new thread in the "other topics" section for this Pole Shift malarkey so as not to digress off your interesting thread on the house you are building.

I'll be curious how many on TBN will watch close to two-hours of YouTube video on ancient aliens, etc. Personally I'd rather watch two-hours of (in no particular order of preference) Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, Aliens, Eureka, Sanctuary, Warehouse 13, Science Channel, Discovery Channel, History Channel, TLC, Kathy Griffin, Top Gear, Wonders of the Universe, Through the Wormhole, Medical Freak Show Night (my term for medical shows), Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, and who knows what else...except sports.

We got the soil up to the top of the garage dome on both sides. We need to add more on the steep side to allow to tractor soil to that side. It was great to have the sun behind the clouds most of the day. We are going to find more earth or soil to cover our home before we run out.

It all ties in because our reason to building this house are these earth changes we are all experiencing. We know the difficulties we face, so this is why we go through so much trouble to build a home that has a chance to survive and sustain us.

This video is about breaking science and our loving creator not ancient aliens. I understand how all this goes against all our current programming.

Brin, We love and enjoy our home although this is an endeavor beyond most. Life is not all fun and games. Our current build is being accomplished by my wife Wendy and my sons Travis and Kyle and myself, which is a hardship beyond what you cam imagine. We could have went on many vacations and just purchased a typical home but I wish to live independently in a world where the many changes will interrupt and threaten the our way of life.

My wife and son are everything to me but I extend this to anyone who will listen. If they told you you were in harms way. I suppose you and your family wouldn't worry or develop a plan. I call the trance most are in pure suicide and isn't that suppose to be a sin. I don't put all my energy into worrying but into planning. Using the creative mind that the creator gave us all. All humans are a big family no matter what color, creed or culture. All prejudice is learned from the manipulators. It is how the few can control the masses through divide and conquer. You say "remember none of us" not possible! We all are one great big dysfunctional family and I would enjoy braking bread with any and or all of you.

Sam,

I am still watching and enjoying your home project.

How deep will you cover the roof with earth? Will you drive your tractor onto the roof or get something lighter? Please don't say 'shovel & wheelbarrow'. :laughing:

It's going to take a considerable amount of soil to complete I think. On those long grades from a dome top to the bottom of your side berms is a long way.

You could consider a retaining wall about half-way down your berms. This would give you a terrace effect which will cut down the volume of soil needed and provide an excellent use for your rocks. You might need to do some compacting first and then cut a ledge in the berm (parallel with the house) with your FEL to make a level wall base.
Dave.
