Everyone Thought His Underground Tunnel House Was Crazy—Until His Family Stayed Warm at −40°F
A Saskatchewan homesteader built his dwelling entirely underground with 5-foot earth covering, including tunnel entrance. Skeptics called it a "prairie grave" until winter proved its worth. Earth-sheltered construction, used since Neolithic times, maintains stable 50-60°F from geothermal effect. Benefits: minimal heating needs, wind protection, structural stability, and materials already on-site (excavated earth). Critical elements: proper waterproofing (bentonite clay), drainage systems, southern light wells, and ventilation. The earth's thermal mass moderated temperature extremes—slow to heat in summer, slow to cool in winter. Required understanding groundwater levels and structural engineering for roof support.
