Thanks Paul that is very interesting I like the idea of the warm bed. Just think if he had modern tools to work with how fast that would of gone

Very nice video and very smart guy. I noticed a few things. #1 - no bugs! For all the mud he was messing with, he always looked clean, even his shorts! I'd like to know how long it took to build. I like the way he used different colored soils for different applications.

Wonderful video. Thank you for posting it.
Just goes to show how a determined fellow can accomplish things that others would think not possible. There is a lot of technology at work here but reduced to primitive conditions to make it manageable.

I've been watching his videos for awhile. Very neat. He has one he built similar to that but built a mud fireplace and chimney on it.

The radiant floor/bed heating is really a neat idea. Paul, I enjoyed watching the whole video, thanks.
