Steps For Building a Solar Structure

Review of concept to date:

  • CEB walls
  • Straw bale infill between 2 wall cavities
  • House-integrated CEB stove
  • Thermaclear or Solexx glazing
  • Structure similar to Nicesolar.jpg but solar cover extends from green roof
  • Greenspace
  • Green roof
  • Trellis for solar shade in summer
  • Composting toilet
  • CEB floor
  • Side space covered for rooftop rainwater catchment and CEB water cistern
  • Planter in front and sides - zone 0 plantings in planter

Steps

  1. Site prep - flatten site with front loader and blade
    1. Build blade
    2. Build LifeTrac II
    3. Build sawmill
  2. Building material prep
    1. Rollers
    2. Sawmilling in July
    3. Truss preparation
    4. Test stabilized bricks
    5. Test reject lime-cement bricks?#Initial experiments with
    6. Air-powered water pump

Summary: June-July will be shakedown of stabilized brick

Timeline

  • April 1-30 - Dimensional Sawmill Prototype
    • Assuming no CEB presss production
