In this time of uncertainty with Financial Fallout, Resource Depletion, Environmental Changes, and Political Unrest, the Earthship concept is an amazing opportunity for Iowa.
In this website, I will address a series of concepts and post photos, videos, technical information, and Blog about the construction progress of our own Earthship.
Once the project is finished, I hope to also include cost, materials, and performance data. This is a long term project, so stop back often!
