Join the build during the main phase of construction. We will be finishing off the tyre ramming and working on plastering with mud, roof work with timber, and building internal walls and water planters for use with rain water harvesting system.

This earthship is a 35 foot round house that will be totally self sufficient. It will harvest water from the rain, power from the sun, and thermal capacity from the sun and stored in the heavy tyre rammed walls. Waste water from the kitchen sink will feed planters inside the house that will filter and clean it and allow for reuse for things like toilet flushing. We will also be implementing a black water system to treat all the sewage from the toilet in a natural and simple way.

We are offering training and also looking for volunteers for some basics like cooking. The type of training will depend on what part of the build you join us in. Everything before March 2009 will be tyre ramming and plastering of wall. Once the roof is on we wll finsih building the planters, plastering of walls, and then the creative work of making the space and furniture and some interior walls. These interior walls and planters we will make with cans and mud plaster. We hope to have the building roofed by September 2009.

We have put together a great team with fantastic comradery and atmosphere. Everyone works well during the day and we enjoy our evenings together. We will organise accommodation so there is no need to make any room reservations. The accommodation is very comfortable and has pretty much everything you'd need. You may prefer to make hotel reservations in Kodaikanal. India is a beautiful part of the world and this is a fantastic opportunity to experience it properly.

If you want to commit for one month or more and you have needed skills and experience then there is no cost and even paid positions for certain jobs.
