"Papa Chango"
about me
I'm a retired easy going guy. When I started this blog in 20006, I was preparing my RV to travel in search of adventure and perhaps a new place to live. The name of the blog was On The Road With Gary. I visited Lake Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico and decided to settle down.
I quit publishing the blog in 2008. I changed the name of the blog to Lake Chapala Expat.
Please read the old blog posts for details.

John Calypso can give you details on the construction of his Earthship. Send him a comment on his blog "Viva Veracruz" and ask him about it.
Hi Nick -
The EARTHSHIP (not Earship btw) is a 37 inch thick wall adobe structure basically made by pounding earth into tires and then stack the tires like bricks - Then the voids are filled with mud and soda or beer cans. Finally the walls are adobed or stucco'd.
These are time proven structures that have a light foot print on the earth and are extremely energy efficient.
More information available here:

a couple photos of our earthship here:
