Wondering if you are enjoying your completed earthship? Found a photo in a Gunn. Co. Times (10/2010) that reminded me. Would love an update, and a tour sometime!:)

Katie,
My Mom has always been a big fan of Mike Reynolds’ ideas and work. Last year I went to a Hyundai function here in my hometown of Johannesburg, South Africa. It was a day created for women so we can become more savvy where our cars are concerned. Of course changing the tyres and when and how was on the agenda. I spoke to the guys of Dunlop, we got onto the subject of old tyres and what happens to them. Apparently the gases emitted after a few years by a tyre is extremely toxic. There just is no way to dispose of a tyre that won’t mess up our environment or our own health. That is a sad reality and I do hope your lovely house doesn’t cause you and your husband health issues in the long run.

Great blog!
I love ‘your Berlin’, it’s somewhere I haven’t been yet but really want to go see.
Take care!

I am an interior design student and have dreamed of doing something like this since I was a little girl. i was riding by a place where old tires were being dumped. I thought way back then you could use tires as a building material. I am glad tro see some one has made my dream a reality.
