thats right. ive been kicking around the idea of a house that is completely underground. garage and everything. im thinking 14" thick concrete walls with 5/8" rebar & fiber... the roof ( still under ground) wil also be 12"+ thick with 5/8'' rebar & fiber im thinking 10ft ceilings geothermal ac/heat and maybe some solar panels. mid size. 1200-1400 sq ft only thing that i would have to look out for is floods!! LOL ... id have to find some high land with good drainage



wachall think?

 

i think its gonna be come a nice undergroud pool in louisiana...

 

First big rain your underground home, will become a above ground home lol.

Edit: I'd say try going above ground level & then cover it with dirt.. LoL

 

i hate louisiana

 

the entire state of la. is one big auqifer. maybe if you lived up north man.

 

I know a guy who lives in a house like this. Are you going for something that would be cheap to heat and cool, or something that will keep you and your supplies safe when the apocalypse comes? I'm cool with either!

 

I agree that Louisiana is not the place to try it lol

 

Where would you hang your christmas lights?

 

in the giant tree

 

Are you actually serious about building this house? There is so much already wrong with your plans but I could help you a lot if you decide to build it. Building anything underground is not as easy as you think.
