目標完成度：
我們預計用3到5個人的勞動力，可以在一個月内把土袋圓頂屋封頂，但是最終安排人手有困難，大部分時間只有2個人動工，所以只把目標完成了大概一半，有點可惜。
施工過程：
在人手不足，多雨，工地没水没電没機器，附近的小鎮能找的工具不多，等等不利的情况下，很多問題都能迎刃而解，工程總算順利。在只用簡單工具（最常用的是鏟和鋤頭），自然的材料”泥土“，不用機器、水泥、鋼筋的情况下工作，雖然比較慢，但是更能享受勞動過程，是一種美好的體驗，甚至有點令人上癮，每天只拿着鏟、對着泥的生活，使人在大自然面前謙虛，使人心裏平靜，非常懷念。
到目前爲止對土袋屋的經驗和意見：
土袋屋的結構特點非常靈活，没有需要高科技或特殊的技術，在缺少人力物力的艱難情况下都可以建設。建築師Nader Khalili是受NASA（美國太空）委託研究在月球建築的辦法，而想出土袋建屋的方法來的，不愧有他的道理。而且結構是分佈受力，縱使我們没有經驗，手工不太完美，感覺上對結構一點影響都没有，弄出來的墙感覺很厚很堅固。
特别鳴謝：
- 農場的主人考先生和彭先生對項目的支持
- 照顧我們每天飲食的農民
- 從韓國遠道前來的MK，没了他這項目没法實行
- 給了我們很大支持和鼓勵的勞動義工：阿杜，CJ, 朱明，阿榮，黃勵
下次計劃：
我們初步計劃再安排長一星期的第二期工程來把它封頂，日期待定。

Target Completion: Originally planned to finish the whole sandbag structure within one month by 3-5 people. However, we could only arrange 2 people to work on it for most of the time and so we could only finish til halfway. It was a pity.
Working Process: Construction work was quite smooth despite all the difficulties we encounter such as lack of manpower, rainy weather, no electricity nor water at work site, hard to find tools in nearby small towns ... We were able to somehow cope with all the problems and moved forward. Using only simple tools (shovels and hoes), working with natural material - earth, without machines nor cement, things are slow but it was a very enjoyable process, a wonderful experience, even addictive. Days of shoveling earth make you humble before our nature, make you calm in your heart. Good times.
Comments about earthbag dome (so far): The design and construction of Earthbag dome is simple but profound, flexible but strong, low-tech and require nothing fancy. It can be built in harsh environments, with little resources and manpower. The idea was conceived by architect Nader Khalili when he was asked by NASA to design shelter to be built on the moon. Nice idea indeed. The load is distributed so the structure is forgiving for beginners like us lacing in experience and skills. Still, the walls we built felt so thick and strong and immovable.
Special Thanks to:
- Owners of the organic farm Mr Kao and Mr. Peng for their support of this project
- Farmers who cooked our daily meals
- MK without whom this project wouldn't be possible- Volunteers who came help. Was a big support and encouragement.
