so back when I first joined steemit I wrote about the house I was goingt to be building and that was going to be a earthbag earthship, I had looked at ways of filling the bags up and thought about pvc pipe but could not find a good priced solution and looked else ware and found a 8 inch concrete tube and it comes in 48 inch lengths so cutting it in half I am able to get 2 filling tubes, at 10 dollars for the 48 inch tube so 5 dollars for each or the 2 filler tubes, can get 5 or 10 of the 48 inch tubes and have 10 or 20 bag filling tubes, I did some testing and found I could fill 10 bags in about 15 minutes which will be a pretty good click on filling bags,
As you can see I got a plan and believe it will work very well, and with nearly an estimated 3000 bags to fill I need every advantage I can get, I am seeing an average of 40 bag and hr, looking at 85 bags on the long side, and 45 bags on the sides there abouts,
I have also looking at a hybrid now of putting in 2X6X12 post every 8 feet to support the beams for the roof so I have done some modifications to the plans but it will be a morfing build as I go.
so as my adventure takes off I hope I am lucky to get this done and have my off grid homestead
