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 ...
