tims-valuted-earthbag-dome-model-houseUntil I learned to use Google SketchUp I would often built models of tiny houses I was day dreaming about building. I actually made several models of Nine Tiny Feet until I started drawing 3D drawings of how I imagined fitting a whole house in nine square feet.

When I saw this article on earthbag house model building I realized I wasn’t alone. The truth is taht no matter what drawing tools you use, it is very helpful to build models especially for small structures. Visualizing an idea is not always easy to do and it’s much faster to work out ideas in modeling clay, cardboard, or foam core. Also visit EarthbagBuilding.com for more on model building.
