Rammed Earth and Tire Wall

Описание: Making a Rammed Earth and Tire Wall is physically taxing! Rammed Earth and earthen homes and walls have existed since antiquity some are thousands of years old!

This technique is used for constructing foundations, floors, and walls using natural raw materials such as earth, chalk, lime, or gravel. In our case we added tires and used our natural Caliche rocks, calcic soils ( our dirt is like a limestone blend) to fill the tires to begin our wall. The nice part is that it didn't cost us anything for the supplies we used. This really is taking recycling, and up-cycling to the next level!

Rob's shoulder, elbow and low back have been yelling quite loudly for a massage! We are at the beginning stages of creating this wall. Originally it was going to be a junk project but a project like this is worthy of having it's own video. This has also been one of the most difficult video for me to edit as well. I hope you enjoy our video. Feel free to commnent.

Rob and I are in our sixties and have wanted our own piece of land for many years we are new to homesteading and prepping. I'm sure we will post most everything we are up too on Blissful Acres our desert paradise. Things like th solar system Rob researched and put together, building our greenhouse, fixing the well house, our home, sewing, cooking and even a video or two about our 1966 bus conversion Sedona Synergy. Looking forward to meeting you! Feel free to comment!
