Lots of new

Been a long time but ...
Bulk and give substance to grind to John Paul:

- I do not take much time to feed this blog but I know he always brings del'intérêt. Now then here we are:
I just finished the terrace. She's not green (far from it) but our finances do not allow us to ask of thermally treated wood. So we have recovered the remaining blocks formwork of the tank recovery of rainwater, we have placed on concrete footings and / or lime and is filled with stone and cement, or wood. over, we screwed the wood planks autoclave (argggggggggggggh). The tour is for its tiled (like those in the kitchen!)


- We have many requests for our fork in the ground. She's fine thank you for it. We will soon be an article showing more precisely the various stages of implementation. What is certain is that it is very fragile and it takes quite a beating, but she is still beautiful. It is very easy to clean. Some small cracks appeared but for now nothing annoying. I think we will come back a layer of hard wax in the months to come.



This summer will be an opportunity actively engaged in the outside (the neighbors will thank us). The program thus:
- second layer of coating in the recovery tank of rainwater (1 week), poses slabs and cement screed with trape (2 or 3 days)
- Installing the pergola Douglas. Size and installation (it is really easy because I am not a carpenter and I do not have the right hardware ...) about 1 week
-Upgrading the field with the support that most precious of a mini excavator . It will also provide finishing well out in the Canadian slope located below our property. (1 week)
- well, not easier, it we must apply the finish coat of lime - a mixture of lime, sand and earth to the pigment-all around the house.
We will apply it very likely hand. We will need scaffolding and lots of patience ... But hope is good live. (The rest from vacation ...)
We start all of this work after 14 July and a week's vacation. In making the calculations, you can see that part works for several weeks ... The subsidiary question is: will they be on holiday long enough ?????

If any of these sites you are interested, please let us know that we can organize and see if we can to set a date to suit you.

Otherwise, I always invite you to visit the blog of our association alpha-beats (there are new information more often than this one!) And you'll find out in the latest round of Natural Habitat Folder interesting the overall design of the home environment. In addition, the house used as a reference for all examples, is strangely reminiscent of our own ... Amazing is not it?

I forgot to respond to "many" questions posted in the previous article on the Canadian well. In fact more than forgetfulness is a technical problem that does not allow me to answer or leave messages ... (That Balot).

- For Julio, the siphons look like a self priming siphon backwards. The output is lower than the entry and when the water reaches above the highest point the water is drawn. For more info, you can visit the site of Philip Redois.

- Concerning the movement of air in the duct. I asked myself the same question about why the air goes there to hot? Not being a specialist I have no definite answer ... maybe just say that the house must be depressed (because of the stove) and that perhaps causes this differential does aspiration ??

- For Nanou and her question on the condensate, we made sure not to have a break in slope of the sheath. The output will be (this summer) along a slope and there will be no break in slope at all.

- Finally, Karen, mud bricks are of adobe. They are bricked in the earth (mixed mud, sand and water). The topcoat comes home Akterra and it should be called "single-layer coating.

That's all I think he ...

Well finally the new Canadian

In our environmental concerns and energy saving, we quickly oriented development a Canadian well.

You will probably find a few personal sites but also more and more commercial sites telling you how to buy very expensive something that is very simple at the base.

few succinct reminders: Well
Canada is a heat exchanger consisting of a pipe in which air passes before entering the house.
The pipeline should be at least 1.5 m below ground because at this depth the temperature is almost constant throughout the year (whatever the outside temperature).
The outlet temperature of the sheath can be almost constant year round provided they have a pipeline of sufficient diameter to a sufficient length.
There are 2 main types of system:
- the Canadian well: it provides a warming in winter and cooling in summer
- Well that brings a refreshing Provençal summer.

For more info, I refer you to the excellent work of Samuel Courgey and Jean-Pierre Oliva bioclimatic design published by Living Earth (P171 A178).

home, we have done without too much to bother to calculate speeds, distances ... We made it simple with the constraints of finances, time and terrain.

We bought a double wall corrugated cladding TPC (red!) Of 50 meters and 160 mm in diameter. The sheath has cost us € 295.75 including VAT delivered. We purchased from FRANS BONHOMME (watch list prices are much higher but they are always at least 60% off! Same individuals).
We took the shovel that dug the foundations for him to dig a trench 1.5 m deep at the bottom of which we asked the sheath. We were very careful to not having a break in slope for the moisture of the sheath can not stagnate and thus to prevent the proliferation of any bacteria.

We increased the sheath under the foundation and then we have to show exactly where we wanted it to be good. The hardest thing to imagine a specific location even before the foundation!

We then recapped the trench. The sheath was apparent
therefore "inside" the house throughout the work.

When we realized the various elements that make up our soil - namely the hedgehog, the lime-hemp the floor tiles and mud-we have taken into account instead of the sheath and the importance of the output.

Most designers précaunisent Canadian well to combine this system with an HRV so that air arriving from the Canadian well in winter at a temperature of about 8 to 12 ° C is preheated by the CMV before being driven into the house. Since we do not VMC, there was the problem with this direct arrival of fresh air in the house.
To adjust, we opted for a very personal but it works well (we can say today).

We doubled the wall behind the arrival of Canadian well (this part is lime-hemp) by a wall of adobe (dried mud brick) while leaving an air space between two walls. The output of the pipe system (the sheath) is itself included in a small cabinet also of adobe. This box is isolated from the top (with wool hemp covered with a wooden shelf) so that air can circulate as the air space between the wall of lime-hemp and the wall adobe.

front of the adobe wall is the wood stove that heats the air by radiation and which also heats the wall and the cabinet adobe (ah inertia when you hold us!).

But what becomes of the preheated air as you say? It's an excellent question. We opened the adobe wall and installed a ventilation grille in height. With this "mouth", the air exits temperate.

The first steps that we performed we showed that the air coming out of the sheath into the vessel to a dozen degrees (cons 0 ° outside). At the gate (about 2 meters high, the air was about 20 degrees). It will
achieve more accurate measurements and see if it works also in summer. We do not

motorized air intake for winter as it is warmer in the house and outside, there is a natural aspiration. The question was based differently as it will be cool inside. We will discuss timely ...

Finally, I inform you of the birth of an association whose objective is the promotion of ecology and alternative habitat. This association will be present on some exhibitions and is involved in thinking and implementing an environmental projects. You can contact
at 06 70 66 53 82 or by mail to alpha-bat@laposte.net
Alpha-bat means Logistics Support and Promotion of Housing Alternative.

You will find information about the life of the association through his blog:
