<p>using snow construction to train people towards alternative home construction</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>My name is Lion Kimbro, and I&#039;m a friend of Sam Rose.<br /> <br /> I will be more present later, when I get closer to actual construction.<br /> <br /> But something came up in a conversation I thought might be of value to Open Source Ecology: &#039;&#039;&#039;Using snow construction to help train people.&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> For example, the Quinzhee: ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinzhee], [http://www.callofthewild.ca/quinzee.html], [http://www.instructables.com/id/Quinzee-Building/])<br /> <br /> Snow construction may be a great way for people to get into building.<br /> <br /> * It can be done in a matter of hours.<br /> * The variety of techniques seem to mirror the variety of techniques of building houses out of Earth.<br /> ** Quinzhee: make a mound, dig out of it<br /> ** Fort: grow up from the ground in packed layers<br /> ** Igloo: use bricks<br /> * A complete (and useable!) structure can be made in &#039;&#039;&#039;hours&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> * It&#039;s challenging, ...<br /> ** ...but surmountable.<br /> * It costs &#039;&#039;nothing.&#039;&#039;<br /> * It can be done by instructions, you don&#039;t even necessarily need someone on hand to help.<br /> <br /> Take care, Lion</div>
