Earth Bag House

Can you tell I'm proud of the work our guys are doing with the Earth Bag House? The metal roof should be finished today. Hope so cause the dark clouds are rolling in as I write this. It will have a composting toilet (see www.oursoil.org) and running water once we get the well dug and we buy a pump and a cistern.

  4. Fr. Marc,

    I was just curious how this roof was constructed. I'm working on a similar project and am curious if this roof is at all load bearing and how the building did in the earthquake. Thanks for your help.
