Hi, Mike! 🙋 I've been saying prayers for you too! 🙏

Great to see you Mike

Yall rock..wife and I did the tour in March was one of the best experiences we have had together.

This can be adapted to create an above-ground root cellar in areas where the water table is too high to dig one into the ground. I have a bunch of tires in my yard that I’ve been trying to think of a use for; last night I thought of using them for a root cellar. This showed up today! I love it when the Universe confirms an idea.

The world's greatest architect Pounding tires!

❤ wonderful teacher

Thank you.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you ❤

Looking good Mike, been praying for you buddy!

My 1815 house had 2 cisterns made of brick. Wasn't planning on using a cistern in my skillion cottage. But wells cost. I have a 2 inch flowing point well 20 feet down pounded by hand. Plan on just using gas water pump to get water up the ridge to the cottage.

Awesome

1:23 Interferencia😉 good to see u Boss!!

glad that you all are still creating videos!

Thank you Michael! Great to see you sharing your magic ⭐⭐⭐

Great video would you be available to help out those in Maui Hawaii that have lost their homes?

Great demonstration, thank you Mike for your video! 👍🏼😎

Very helpful. Just great. Thanks Mike!

I think that it will be easier to make a container out of bags of earth. But maybe I'm wrong.

How about a clay-lined stone cistern?

@15:10 How is the heavy duty aluminum rivet, affixed through the 22-guage metal to the 18-guage metal cistern hub lip, prevented from rapid dissimilar metal degradation?

I live in O'Brien Florida and I'm working on building a home out of semi tires semi tires don't have to be filled with dirt or packed you can screw them together they easily hold together they do not pull apart you can screw stuff to the side walls to the back to the tires himself to the tread to make walls you can stack them and columns I have a few videos on it pictures I need some help getting a home proved for my design I have to find an architecture or engineer

Awesome! What size gravel are you using to pack the tires, thank you!

Some once told him to pound sand and look what he has built! 😉

Great video. How do you get to the hatch to clean and maintain? I just put a 22ga metal roof over a pumphouse and had to strap the rafters with 1x4's at 2 foot intervals down the slope. This roof doesn't seem to have any support other than tension. Are you sure it's going to hold someone's weight getting to the hatch?

How do u keep the cistern from freezing ?

Hey Michael my name is Mark E Smith

Overflow drain?

How much would it cost to pay 2 or 3 helpers to make one of these?

Too labour intensive and too many materials

building an en tire room. 😂

Sad more people don't realize this is the ONLY way mankind even has a CHANCE of surviving the next 50-100 years. However, we are so spoiled that most simply don't put in the effort. I could see humanity waiting until everything goes asunder before thinking of taking care of this planet. Idiots who listen to those who only see their own greed and selfishness.

Is there any reason y’all choose not to cut the side walls out of your tires to make filling and compacting them easier? This is how mechanical concrete roads are constructed will gravel fill. With the side walls off, the gravel can be dumped into the grid of tires then compacted by passing over them with a track loader. Similarly, with the sidewalls off, dirt could be filled into the tires and compacted with a handheld compactor to construct tire walls. Could just cut off the top sidewall and leave the bottom sidewall on in order to keep the dirt in the tire for vertical walls then compacted the top of each tire.
