Wooot! Some very helpful ideas. I am grateful. ♾💎✨

Saving the universe, one tire at a time.

I'm looking at the wall of tires surrounding a shipping container for insulation and this was very good information.

Seen a DIY years ago who a home was totally build out of tires, placing color glass bottles in between, what a neat ideal. Then building code stop the build, but to me seeing it doing better then any stick built.

I think this type of construction is fantastic, as there are so many tyres. I cannot understand why it seems everyone is so fascinated with the manual labour bit. All it does is make it impossible for mass uptake of a fantastic idea, limited only to those who have five thousand hours, or 30 friends to help them.

I love this guy

There has got to be an easier way. This would kill me before I ever get the chance to move into the house.

Wondering what this structure looks like 10 years later

Is a one hour time budget per finished compounded tire realistic for a first time builder? 1500 tires x 1 hour = 1500 hours/ 8 hours per day = 188 days/ 30 days = 6.25 months

Would sand work to compact the tires ?

I'm too lazy and too old to pound so much time for filling a tire. For this reason I made a hidraulic press to fill it. It's much easier and faster. :::)))))😜😁😇

Can you share info on your hydraulic press.

20 mins x 3000 tires, I don't know but that is a lengthy project! ,

✋👍🤝

I respect the work but Im over 50 so Im buying about 4 or 5 shipping containers berming 3/4 around with dirt and ground tires and calling it a home . Plus doing the inside be a lot more fun lol

Yep 50 here also, I was thinking something similar - why not just lay out 6 or so shipping containers and fill them with dirt, instant flat level berm and walls to work off.

What is the best size tires to use? I’m in the trucking business and have access to all the large truck tires a I could ever need.

I'm not sure if you got your answer already, but let me try here. The size depends more on your design criterion such as, the soil and foundation type, how deep, how high will your walls, and the load you want them to support. Some people say it best to use tires that can be 33" overall diameter and up. There is a code out there - I believe it is within the New Mexico building code. It is best to hire a professional that can complete your design.

Good

If you include the labour content this has to be a expensive way to build.

Nice looking site. Good video. Are you within a county? or on Crown/federal land?

Yeah it looks like it. Would love to see more as your project progresses.

how long in average does it take to pound one single tire considering 2 people working?

@dustineast4216

About 20 minutes :) I'm starting to discover faster and less intensive ways. Will keep you posted.

yes, please send me a video because we are in the process of building our home

The cardboard st p was not clear 🤷🏼‍♀️

Why don't you just cut off the top of the tires, wouldn't it be easier?

There are better ways... faster... more solid... did you note how his wall wobbled in the initial stage of this video... ???

Wasn't wobbly he just jumped up like a goat

Looks shocking.. Who would want to look a tyre wall.

What you learned on your 299 tire is you shouldn't have smoked so much weed to convince yourself that building with tires is a good idea and that the time it takes to do this work you could have worked at Mc Donalds to pay for regular building materials.

Just about my conclusion every time I come back to consider the wonderful, brilliant, "cheap" idea of building with tires. Packing tires is more boring than watching paint dry and unlike the latter, it brakes your back. It may be cheap if you have no other option and a lot of time in your hands.

I just realized that I’m literally watching videos of people pounding dirt, LMAO!😁🤓🤯😎😂🫶
