www.permies.com Mike oehler takes us on a tour of the house he wrote about in "The and up underground house book". At the time the video is taken, this underground house is 35 years old. The property has about six underground houses. This underground house was his home for most of the 35 years. PAHS post shore polyethylene
Video Rating: 4 / 5
very nice
Wasn’t that guy on bizzare foods show.
Great insight. Doing it instead of talking about doing it!!
I bought his tapes and books.. He is a great man.. but a little short tempered. but he had some great ideas.. I loved the greenhouse.
You can’t afford the luxury of a negative thought. I like that!
Doing one of my six or seven or however many things. Thanks for the interview on TSP
So cool to see this in video! Oehler and his house helped inspire me to build… not underground and not cheap, but maybe that’s in the future.
@paulwheaton12 where is this place and would he sell or rent it?
should be called Sugar Shack, as it bringsssssss in the ladys, as you see the 2 chicks in the vid lol
@paulwheaton12 I responded to something you said to the wrong person on accident lol.Mike Oehler was on a show called Louis Theroux-survivalist.Its on you tube.Its a great show.If you have time check it out its 6 parts.Years ago I would of said these survivalist were nuts now I say they were just ahead of thier time.There is a part where Theroux goes to the Aryan Nations compound in Hayden Lake Idaho.Now they were nuts back then and nuts still today lol.
@dannon18 This guy was was on a documentary I just watched here on you tube called Louis Theroux – survivalists.Its a documentary series called weird weekends.It was a great show.This episode was about anti government survivalists in the pacific northwest.Years ago I would of said these kind of people were nuts.This episode was filmed in i believe 1998 or 99.Looking at the government today I dont think they were nuts at all.I think they were right on the money just ahead of the times.
@PicklesReallySuck LMFAO! I disagree but your comment is still funnier than hell.
“for years I avoided reading this book because it contains the word ‘underground’”
Yeah because the words “$50 house” sound so classy.
still cant subscribe,especially after hearing dat permies rant after every vid,your voice is so annoyying,love wat uve put up but will hav 2 admire from a distance LOL
@dannon18 Do tell. I was looking at S style quanset homes but they still require studding on inside for electric etc. looked at earthen homes but alas we have heavy sand not clay. hay bail is good but I dont have the time to build it. I am open to ideas.
@YiuTeub there is more than one way to build a house for cheap
@dannon18 What about a family of 5? I like small homes but tripping on kids makes life suck.
@paulwheaton12 last time i checked, a shack couldn’t even hold up its own walls! If you don’t conform to what society says and do what they tell you and spend your money for the next 30 years to buy what they say you need, then that makes you “crazy” that’s why we are controlled, we are stupid and brainwashed. this man is truly the free man.
@paulwheaton12 that really depends on the shack.
@PicklesReallySuck Hey, if you want to pay $100-200,000 for a crappy cookie cutter house. Go ahead.
oh man, the sound is far beyond “suck”, but the information looks so fascinating… I wonder if you may consider adding captions or something? it would be a nice way to salvage your work. Thank you, realy
@PicklesReallySuck I dunno. I’ve never seen a shack hold up a roof that is three feet thick with soil.
it’s called a shack
If you buy brand new material, $500 won’t get you far at all. If you go to “recyclers” or find free planks and windows that are tossed out, you can really make it all stretch. Not exactly recommended for the faint of heart.
Thanks so much for the video, and for the time you gave us with Mike. I loved the cool hippy/curiousity and minimalistic themes. The advantages with such an approach are very real, as you found. Cool temps, small pleasant space to occupy, and well designed area, are all very appealing.
Thank You again, for dragging him out there to show us this great creation. It is inspiring to me, at least.
