After several months of abstinence, we have provided hands into the earth to lay the plaster on the inside.
is less restrictive than outside because there is not need any scaffolding or scale. By cons, take a little time to get all gammata (or troughs) on the floor.
The last weekend we organized a participatory site in which we proposed to reach the earth.
During this project we have enabled the volunteers to learn how to prepare a mixture with our land, to apply it on the boots (first layer), on the lime-hemp and try to apply the second layer.
Thanks to Saturday 8 students and 4-brave who stayed Sunday.
Thank you to Nicole (she lives in Japan and it almost came just for us!) Hardoin, Sébastien, Amelie, Thierry, Anka, Thierry (another) and Johan.
All have very well worked and I hope they learned as they have given us. Indeed, following this construction, the first coating layer is over in 2 rooms (and even part of the second layer to one of these two rooms, it is not clear?), in the bathroom upstairs and a third room is made more than 80% (it Countdown to coat the pinion). On the walls of the DRC, the first layer is made almost everywhere! In short, in a word (or rather two): Congratulations and thank you.
Apart from that, the Fermacell continues to occur (thank you Jo) gently but sûrement.Les 6 doors are installed on the floor. It's not very complicated. We made a compromise by taking flush doors. Certainly they are very green but our budget does not allow us now to something else. One day perhaps!
The backbone of the partitions on the ground floor is being finished. We now see the real location of all the parts: it's nice.
The exterior siding is not quite finished because I lack a few square meters. It will be soon. The
PORGRAMME the next days:
Continue laying the Fermacell upstairs
Place the end of the siding on the north side
Apply second coat of earth in the rooms
Apply the first layer where we still see straw.
In this regard, we organize a new participatory site c 29 and April 30 whose program will be:
Preparation and application of earth plaster on walls and straw walls lime-hemp
Preparation and mounting of a wall of earth-rammed straw. We
fournisson technical equipment necessary for training. To you on your own for logistics (meals and sleeping).
Feel free to contact us.
Here is what it looks like about today!
