I mentioned previously that the Earthship BnB is on hold until I have full approval (hence the chookship). At this stage I have planning approval but still need building approval... Thankfully the structural engineer has made good progress and has agreed to tyre walls with no footings (yeah!) and has been very reasonable about various other oddities. So I'm stoked. I hope to have the final set of drawings this week or next.
CFS (country fire service) have given the BnB the thumbs up and downgraded the BAL (bushfire attack level) on account of the earth-sheltered (bermed) design (yeah!).

Well... week 3 is in the books. It was a very productive week for the Academy. On top of the construction work we accomplished this week, we also had our first set of labs. In the labs, we got to build the WOM (water organizing module) and POM (power organizing module) from scratch with the help of Earthship crew specialists guiding us along the way.
My first blog post is starting a little late. I'll do my best to catch you guys up to date. It's week 3 and we've already progressed a ton in terms of classroom education, our build in the Greater World Community (they call it GDub), and the friendships within the Academy and crew. Heeeerewego!
I gotta say it was a tough day (Ice Cube style). We had class in the morning and construction work in the afternoon. It got a lil' toasty out on the mesa.
How to get to the future, when its really already here.
Written by Jonah ReynoldsWhy do you think people are finally taking a greater interest in Biotecture?
The world is changing faster and faster. Things are breaking, the world's infrastructure is faltering. People are waking up to this. At the same time, "green stuff" is becoming more and more popular. People are looking for answers and when they see ONE of the answers in Earthships, they identify with it, make a personal connection with it and realize the effectiveness it has AND that they can do this themselves. They realize that Earthship Biotecture puts housing back into the hands of the people.

Robyn is an artist documenting the collapse of America’s economy with a focus on those who are rebuilding life within it. I had only been in contact with Robyn through email when she pulled in to the driveway. She arrived in her pseudo housing/diesel jetta in which she has been not only traveling through the country in, but also using as her developing studio. She showed me a box full of portraits of people who have managed to surpass the decaying infrastructure with a grassroots spirit.
