Watch the Earthship grow - day 32
2008-03-07 19:49:00 Today we started compacting the floors. It looks like we’ll be laying tiles, but we have received various ideas from local builders on the best method for laying them.

Green building in Nicaragua - 29th day of the construction of an Earthship.
2008-02-05 02:48:00 The waiting game for the wood has begun. We’re not talking about that much lumber, but the complications of material acquisition in Nicaragua are becoming clearer everyday. This is all good ground work for the Earthships that will follow. And the nice thing about this green building project is that there is always plenty to ...

Nicaragua real estate: Day 26 in the life of a Nicaraguan Earthship
2008-02-01 22:56:00 As our road is under construction, there are very small windows of opportunity to receive materials. And everyday is an opportunity to learn. Yesterday I was promised by one fellow based out of Rivas that the sand would arrive before 7:00am, an hour and a half before the road crew arrives. I was also promised by ...

Lot signs are going in on Day 24 of the construction of a Nicaraguan Earths
2008-01-30 16:32:00 It’s midway through the week and it looks as though we will accomplish our short term objectives. Today we saw two hits on the dome and both gutters built up significantly.

Green building - Day 23 of the construction of a Nicaraguan Earthship
2008-01-29 16:32:00 The middle dome is ready to receive it’s first coat of plaster. Inside the building, Seth has been discussing the art of adobe plaster with the local Nicaraguan crew.

2008-01-28 19:41:00 Monday is always a natural time to lay out goals and expectations for the week, and with the addition of Phil and Seth, two of Earthship Biotecture’s finest, we decided to set our goals high.

Nicaragua real estate: The buzz about the Nicaraguan Earthship is building
2008-01-28 06:24:00 We’ve been keeping a daily blog on the construction of a house made out of tires which cools itself passively, creates its own power and harvests its own water. Known as an “Earthship” the house design was conceived by architect Mike Reynolds from Earthship Biotecture, in Taos, New Mexico. Ever since the construction team arrived in ...
Green real estate in Nicaragua: Day 21 of the construction of a Nicaraguan
2008-01-27 19:30:00 The west dome has received its final coat. This morning we were hit with about a twenty minute downpour and decided that pounding tires would need to wait due to all the fresh mud. And since the dome was already wet and needed to be done eventually, we decided it was a sign. So with Camilo sifting ...

Day 16 of the Earthship Construction ? A reflection by Dave Kniffin
2007-12-22 18:45:00 Since the conception of this project, people have asked me what we are doing here, “What is the vision?” or “What is the goal?” And at any given time, the best I can do is offer a snapshot of where we are, and where we are going. It’s an evolving dream. Still, at the base ...
Earthship construction: Day 14 and Day 15
2007-12-21 18:35:00 The building is taking shape and as hard as it is to put the project on hold for the holidays, we have made great progress.

Earthship construction: Day 13
2007-12-20 00:09:00 The day was rainy but spirits were high. Luckily down here in Nicaragua the rain is soft and warm. Presently half of the house is harvesting water into the east cistern when it rains. This means that the oxcarts may not have to haul water for the construction of the project anymore. Part of the goal ...
Earthship construction: Day 12
2007-12-19 00:04:00 No fibers this morning. Lydia and Jo have volunteered to drive to Managua to buy fibers at the one store in the country that sells them. That drive is a minimum five hours return trip on a less than perfect road, so their efforts are appreciated even before they depart. At the job-site, the morning is ...
Earthship construction: Day 11
2007-12-17 23:46:00 Today this unique Nicaraguan real estate project entered a new phase. Of the 11 Earthship experts from Taos, New Mexico, USA, only three remain.

Earthship construction: Day 10
2007-12-14 23:46:00 The nightly rains caused delays in the delivery of supplies and the lack of materials were today’s limiting factor. Everyone was acutely aware that it was their last day on the site together. The majority of the Taos crew departs this weekend and, as a result, the crew seemed to push harder than ever to realize ...
Earthship construction: Day 9
2007-12-13 14:25:00 Day Nine dawns, another bright and beautiful morning in El Carrizal, Nicaragua. The Earthship crew arrives and the Nicas are already at it.

Earthship construction: Day 8
2007-12-12 14:28:00 Our inter-cultural crew continued its total dominance of all things Earthship. The twins have excelled in winning the love of the local builders as they have developed a strange pigeon language mixed with Taos slang and Nicaraguan highlander Spanish. Monkeys barked at me today as I drank a coke. The kids in the valley have been ...
Earthship construction: Day 7
2007-12-11 04:52:00 Today 25 crew members joined forces to lift and set the 22ft wide rebar birdcage roof on top of the living room.

Earthship construction: Day 6
2007-12-09 03:16:00 When I arrived this morning, the oxen were already busy hauling dirt from the building site for the next Earthship which has been completely excavated. Although Saturday is usually a day off, the thirteen local workers accepted the offer to put in a half day’s worth of work. The mixer was going within a half hour ...
Earthship construction: Day 5
2007-12-07 19:15:00 We were greeted this morning at the site by two teams of oxen pulling wagons. We have been using a back hoe to generate dirt from a nearby site, but we needed a more efficient way to get the dirt to the Earthship rather than having the back hoe trundle down with a scoop at ...
Earthship construction: Day 4
2007-12-06 17:08:00 Each day a few of the Carizal kids from the surrounding community eagerly wait at the river crossing for the construction crew to arrive holding a small collection of bottles and cans. A good portion of the crew enjoyed the local night life the night before, so morning arrived quickly for some. By 7:00 am ...
Earthship construction: Day 3
2007-12-06 04:48:00 Work started at 6:00 am when the temperature was still cool. The back-hoe was found with a flat tire which was quickly fixed. Tire pounding resumed with a sense of urgency and good camaraderie among the locals and foreigners alike. The back-hoe was busy bringing dirt from the next Earthship site, for which excavation began yesterday. Mass ...
Earthship construction: Day 2
2007-12-05 04:25:00 Today the cooling tubes arrived. Cooling tubes are usually 20 foot long galvanized metal pipes, 10″ in diameter, that are buried in the earth and enter each room through one of the first few courses of tires.

Day by day just gone by...
2007-08-23 07:51:00 When you like someone,when you like someone, There's always an unseen sadness awaiting you, There's always an unseen sadness awaiting you. When you are in love with someone, When you are in love with someone, That's your most vunerable time to feel lonely, That's your most vunerable time to feel lonely. Day by day just gone by, Your exs' birthday, even you can't remember, The laundry bar at the corner of the street, The coin machine's coffee, Can't feel single strain of sweetness. When you like someone, when you like someone, There's always an unseen sadness awaiting you, There's always an unseen sadness awaiting you. When you are in love with someone, When you are in love with someone, That's your most vunerable time to feel lonely, That's your most vunerable time to feel lonely. The left over cigaratte on the desk, And many many of our never ending love stories, There are so many of them, Another night pass by, Some broken...
Day by Day
2007-08-09 23:15:00 What if every day were a sacred day and every moment a holy moment?From the perspective of organized religion or simple pragmatism, this may seem impractical or absurd. But then again, perhaps this view of the holy is a healthy, sustaining, and necessary component of that which binds us to the world, each other, and the community of life.

Yankees Quick Check: Taking It Day By Day
2007-05-24 23:10:00 A quick and un-scientific survey of the dwindling number of Yankees fans at my place of employment on Thursday revealed that hope is still alive in Yankees Land. "Day by day, that's the only way I can take them." Reported one of the longest tenured and most stalwart of the fans I surveyed. "They looked good last night," He continued "and they blew it the night before, and the kid Clippard did great against the Mets. Let's see how they do against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim this Friday. coming up." He said the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" for dramatic effect. It was like saying "General George Patton," instead of merely "Patton." Tyler Clippard takes the mound again against the younger, more competant of the Weaver brothers for the Angels. The Yankees have a good chance in that game as no one named Mike, Moose, or Mussina will be pitching for them. Such was the general consensus as I made my rounds, polling my co-workers. Apparently a memo went out to all Yankee fans anno...

Lily Allen Taking Success Day By Day
2007-02-28 19:07:01 On the charts with her first album and single, Lily Allen's future seems bright. But the 21-year-old British singer isn't looking that far into it. I'm not really a driven person, Allen tells Billboard.com. It's not like I'm so ambitious I have everything planned for the next five years. I don't really have a business plan. I just take each day as it comes, and if something seems interesting to me then I'll think about it, and if it doesn't, then no. I'm just happy with the ways things are at the moment.
