Thank you for watching! Sorry for the late upload. The storms we're having seem to be slowing down our internet. What do you think of the garden/insulation combo?

My concern is that the monsoon rains will flash flood down the steps right under the door and still flood the root cellar. Just speaking my concerns for what it's worth

Good progress! That chimney shouldn't end up below the roof. If you get a fire in the chimney in the future, the roof is sure to take fire.

Love seeing Crew out and about

Straw bale Greenhouse, on top of the root cellar! Neat idea. 💡

Lluvia is such a great dog 🤩

❤TY for the VIDEO 😊 PEACE

My late husband was a native Arizonan; watching your videos takes me back to good times. I kinda miss the desert - he loved it more than any other type of terrain, and taught me how to appreciate it. I come from the hills and woods of east TN, so the desert was quite the change for me.

Hi both , are you planning to completely cover your roof with straw bales?? If so I hope you have enough plastic sheet to fold back to cover every bale as you’re bound to know what they weigh when wet. I wouldn’t hold out much hope for the OSB boards you’ve got there.

Its still amazes me that playing in the mud can result in a real building.

I was imagining the bench with a smooth stucco and painted white.

No worries on the timing 💖 When you dont have 💰to throw around, life takes a lot more work. I really appreciate y’all’s perseverance and creativity 💝

I love the idea of insulating the root cellar with strawbales and the greenhouse on top. The straw bales should insulate it well during the summer heat too.

Awesome! It's coming along nicely. Can hardly wait to see how you two do the inside of your house! I love the look of the mountains in the background, just beautiful!

yes straw or hay will insulate be sure to insulate the valves on all the tanks so they dont break

Love your podcast🙏. You are looking so beautiful and healthy Jess, glad to see you feeling better! love you guys

Have you considered clam shell style storm celler doors to protect and provide rain cover and drainage for the storm celler stairwell.
