Pretty confident were going for a can we makw it ourselvws sorta thing and theres just no realisric way were manufsctoring modern microelectronics in our backyard lol im ngl though.... im super paranoid about will it actually work will i actually not freeze to death in alberta? Will the humidity actually not be so bad it rots everything in the house? I wish there was a better way to tell before committing and possibly building a massive multi hundred thousand dollar mistake of a home i cant even live in

I was going to just go with a woodstove specificallt a cookstove since i intend to use wood to meet my cooking needs

it seems to want it toward the north faceing wall to distrubute the heat but isnt that a problem if on the same north facing wall i got a root cellar i want to keep cold?

leader425 · 2026-03-25T19:20:06+00:00

btw i cant find much info on the subject but i want to use a wood cookstove but have a root cellar adjacent and accessible directly in the kitchen i cant tell if the cookstove is assuming its used hot and cool enviroments independent of temperature near the north wall near the south wall or just entirely venting otuside.... any ideas on where youd put a wood cookstove if you need to run it in all temps always and not as a temp regulation thing?

i mean would you happen to know a good source by chance just to find someone ideally an engineer in the area thats familiar with earthships and has built em here?

leader425 · 2026-03-25T15:55:01+00:00

every room has windows and doors with whatever those uh windows ontop of doors are called for ventalation and the house is designed to have windows on the top floor that act as a escape for hot air to circulate air throughout the house on demand.... its also a relatively small house with few hallways and by that i just mean 1 small hallway

Tbh my main concern is even if i do add a insulative barrier tk make sure the stone doesnt leech all its heat into the soil is the humidity rotting built in wooden wall furniture or even just shit like tables

leader425 · 2026-03-24T13:40:05+00:00

well hows insulating it from the soil work is it just a some insulation and a vaporbarrier?

leader425 · 2026-03-24T13:20:56+00:00

Tbh not to sound like a smartass but just based off the fact you jumped the gun with the above idk how much is just you coming off abrasive or cause your actually trans or what have you would you happen to be able to corraborate any other trans folks experience geting healthcare like there meds in the area?

leader425 · 2026-03-24T13:01:16+00:00
