I want to build a Hyperadobe home. I have seen many YouTube videos about the process, but I want to know way more than a few videos can teach me.

Does anyone have any book suggestions? I searched eBay and Amazon and found almost nothing.

    For the gravel foundation layers, you’ll definitely want to add a french drain system around the perimeter - just a trench filled with gravel and perforated pipe that directs water away from the structure (I built something simlar last year and it works amazingly well).

      Most of my neighbors I talked to only have gravel, they skipped the drain pipe. I would think it’s better to add something like this. Thank you for your advice!
