If the structure is a square base, then the roof is easiest as a half cylinder vault.
If the structure is round, then a dome is easier.

Goals: Our goals are to build a quality house at eFarm using as many local materials as possible.
 
 
Specifications:
 
*We are going to have an automatic CEB press.
*We have a limited amount of time to build. (July 25 to August 22)
*We are going to have a limited number of people here to build (Inga, Marcin, Jeremy, Ben, Guy) and the abilities of each person (mental, emotional, physical, strength, endurance, etc).
*Marcin will be required to run the tractor and CEB press.
*Bricks are 12 inches long by 6 inches wide by 4 inches high and weigh about 12 pounds (estimated).
*A 6 foot high section of wall will take 18 stacks of bricks.
*A 10 foot long row takes 20 bricks.
*A 10 foot long by 6 foot high wall section will take 360 bricks, and will weigh about 4320 pounds.
 
Possibilities:
 
*Insulation:
**Foam insulation.
**Multi-layers of bricks.
*Roof:
**Vault
***For a square building
**Dome
***For a round building
 
Experience from constructing the CEB workshop:
*Square brick designs are more stable (interlocking corner bricks) and easier to make it vertical.
*Round sections are more difficult to do and harder to make vertical. One of the curved/angled wall sections was made with substandard frozen mortar material and it collapsed when the mortar thawed.
