Microhouse 1 - Summer 2013
For the CEB floor, a layer of sand is used to keep all the block level. A team of 2-4 can do 144 square foot floor in less than a day.
Keep it flat using a level, and keep working the sand to provide height adjustment to CEBs if CEBs are not equal in height. Height of CEBs may vary depending on soil conditions when unconditioned soil without cement is used:
Final structure with CEB floor.
In Microhouse 1, we used unstabilized CEBs. We had a couple of water leaks and the CEB floor degraded, so we retrofitted a wood floor. In the humid Missouri climate, we have seen mold issues because Microhouse 1 was not air conditioned.
