About Off Grid AirCrete Cabins Step by Step - Design then Foundation to Finish as Fast as Possible
Learn every skill & the tools to build an alternative AirCrete home that is off-grid, recycles water, has a flush compost toilet and more as we build this functional comfortable energy-efficient sustainable home step by step.
You see, building with mud, straw, AirCrete, or conventional materials it takes more than a shell to make a home! It takes the systems of support any modern person expects to live in comfort & beauty! These systems include the following..
Floor Plans, 3D Design/BluePrints
Foundation, AirCrete, Framing
Plumbing
Electric & Solar Power
NanoTech Paint
Air Conditioning
Compost Flush Toilet
Cabinets, Cement Countertop
Flooring
This course walks anyone from beginner to professional through the process of building a 16-foot diameter, 201 Square Foot, Tiny House that is off-grid, recycles its waste, has climate control & is affordable.
Once you have the base house you can add rock veneer to the outside as well as all the finishing touches to make this YOUR unique home.

Why use MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking ) charge controller? Because it monitors the solar cell voltage and draws off the maximum power without overheating or pulling the panel voltage down. Take a 30 volt, 10 amp solar cell for example. If you clamp it to a battery the voltage drops to 12. So 12 volts X 10 amps = 120 watts. With an MPPT the voltage stays at say 28, but you still get 10 amps. 28 x 10=280 watts! This is why you use only an MPPT charger! It's also great for thin-film solar cells. It takes whatever voltage is available, steps the voltage up, and dumps it in the battery. Inverters are best oversized by 20-50% and you should get one that can actually deliver the rated output power!! Buying inverters that can be connected in parallel allows you to grow your solar system. Inverters that can be connected in series allow you to have two 110 volt inverters and pull off 220 volts across them, but an autotransformer may be a better option if you can afford the extra power waste over night.

What is a worm compusint flush toilet? Its basically a vermacompost worm farm that a toilet flushes into. Low odor, ecologically responsible, affordable, and produces usable compost for the soil.
Building Rectangle Cast AirCrete Houses
Welcome to the Rectangle AirCrete House! Not everyone wants a round house where the furniture does not fit and every cabinet is highly custom and difficult to build.
Here is show how to build the slip forms from the most commonly available materials and using the most basic skills. You can certainly build better forms using angle iron and wood or PVC sheets, but that would require more skills and tools. You might choose to build these forms using the same methods as used in the block forms of the introduction to AirCrete course: https://tinygiantlife.biz/course/introduction-to-aircrete-video-course-temporary-link/
This section covers the process of putting the forms together as well as taking them apart and moving the forms up on top of the previous poured wall. Basically, this is the process of building your walls.
No functional house is just a wall and a roof. Install conduit for electric, water, and lights.
The roof is arguably the most important part of the house where 76% of all heat loss and gain occur. Here we build a flat pueblo-style roof. However, you can also place a double pitch conventional roof on top of the bond beam to have a "typical" looking house.
With Minor Modifications, you can add a Second Story to your house or a Conventional Roof
This is THE fastest way to get off grid and survive. A Proven System that puts you in a place where you can meet your needs then with this solid foot hold you can build a life that makes you trive!

About the Teacher
30 Year of working in construction I have built a lived in every type of normal & alternative building when I discovered AirCrete I knew this was something. A Structural insulating material that is non-toxic, fireproof, rot proof, and pest proof.
Now, I teach other people to build their own homes to free themselves. It's my hope that more people will choose to live a life of goodness and personal growth with meaning on their terms. Nothing moves us closer to freedom than having a paid-for home and a simplistic lifestyle of love & freedom.
I am taking your advise and starting small. Our pumphouse needs to be replaced, & based on the existing layout the Pueblo style using slip forms seems to be the best fit. But I have 2 questions. 1. I can’t find the video on using slip forms. 2. As it is a pumphouse we can not pour a traditional foundation, would the ringstyle (in the shape of a square) work in this application?
I am still off grid at this time. I will be adding the slip forming video once I can edit the video and upload it. It may take a few weeks or month to get it done; depending on long my current project takes..

Hi Daniel,
Any update on the Slip Form videos?
Also, on a couple lessons, it shows video upload in progress. Has said that for a couple months? Nov 5, 2020
