Chris,

I found your web site after we saw a story on TV about the Potter’s Eship. I used a similar tool to pack all the tires in our modified eship but used air pressure instead. I have some pictures of the packer on my web photo site. We have lived in our place for almost 3 years but took about 14 years worth of work before that. We are “finishing up” but have lots to do. I’ll comb through your photos and the rest of your web site. All the best, Earl

All of the pictures from the posts that blogger removed the pictures from are on the current website. On the main page at the top is a button ‘photos’. If you click on that button and then select the gallery ‘Old Blog Posts’ (http://picasaweb.google.com/darfieldchris/BuildingAnEarthshipInDarfieldBC?authkey=Gv1sRgCPmUldrL1KHFgwE#) you can access these pictures. These pictures are not sorted, but as I said all of the blog pictures from when we hosted on blogger are there.

I hope to fix the old posts but am not sure when that will happen.

Hope this helps …

Chris

Good Day Chris and Family!
When I stopped by your place this mid April, I was mesmermized! thank you for Takinga break from lunch to show my father and I your wonderful, developing plan. It is good to know a ‘nieghbour’, as mentioned on that day, my husband and I will be building a similiar sustainable home, just further south from you. Desmond and I are interested in helping you. The Tire press was so inspiring to see, thank you for having a great mind. We would love to talk further on your past experiences. Please get back to this message when you can, either via email or your website works for now.

This hydraulic tire rim packer sounds like a great idea, and possibly a marketable product. Even plans of it might sell. I have also seen road crews with a motorized vertically reciprocating packer that I think would work well at filling the tire centers. I have to ask why the Earthship biotecture people have not thought of this before??
