Seed Home 2 Planning

Seed Home 2 Planning

This is the Critical Path in the Preparation Phase.

Key aspects to solve:

• Critical is the support for vetting Owner-Builders.
• Team of 4 vetters proposed.
• Ideally the support team produces the blazing-fast 24 videos - 12 on dev method, 12 on the technology of House:

Onboarding Videos

1. OSE Intro - methods, vision, status, new operating system for transforming the world.
2. Intro to Collaboration - Focus on how and why it's missing. Patents. Universities. HeroX. Solar Challenge. Mars Probe exploded. Standards. Ultimately - Mattereum.
3. OSE Linux - super short
4. FreeCAD 101 - exists. But redone for OSE Linux
5. Wiki, Work Log, Embedded Docs, Embedded Videos, Live Editable Docs, Part Libraries
6. FreeCAD Part Libraries on the Wiki - creating them with Visual Histories
7. FreeCAD Spreadsheets
8. FreeCAD Seed Home Workbench Programming

Tech

1. Seed Home Walkthrough - the Build Method. Panels to finished product.
2. Modular Breakdown - the House. Understanding basic feasibility of rapid builds
3. Build Workflow Detail -
4. Sweet Home 3D Part Libraries - generic redesign - Owner-Builder submits a design where they drag and drop parts to build their house.
5. FreeCAD Part Libraries - Modifying Parts. Only for Enterprise track.
6. Seed Home BOM - user has to inventory. And build.
7. Foundation
8. Floor
9. Walls
10. Roof
11. Second Story
12. Trellis, Patio, Landscape. - Blender
13. Utility Panel - Inside, Outside, Channel
14. PV System
15. Biodigester + Toilet/Sink.

Critical Path

Based on Seed Home 2 Critical Path:

Strategy

Welding

Basic parameters:

• Professional weld shops charge $60-75/hr around Missouri. That is scalable and replicable, but redundant in terms of paying overhead when we have onsite facilities.
• One can hire someone. Welders get paid $18-27 (mean, top 10%) in Missouri. This is a cost-effective route compared to hiring a fab shop, if one has their own equipment.
• Thus, with OSE design, designs can be fabricated.
• Welder search - by reference.

Weld Budget

• Tractor: time of 40 hours for LifeTrac can thus cost between $720 and $1080, as opposed to $2400 for the outsource to a fab shop. From here, take $20/hr.
• Changfa Power Cube
• Helical Piers: 7 hours for a set of piers @15 minutes each - $140 for welding.
• Pile Driver - 8 hrs - $160
• MicroTrac - 40 hours of welding - $800
• Baler - 40 hrs - $800
• Rake - 8 hrs - $160.
• Mower - 40 hrs
• Brush Hog, Microtrac - 40 hrs
• Brush Hog - LifeTrac - 40 hrs

Design

• OSE module-based design is most effective.
• Execution for CNC machines requires 3D printing, best done with D3D Pro 3 for larger prints.
• Thus, design the following things:
  • Tractor - bobcat style life LifeTrac v17.10
  • Diesel power cube
  • 3x geardown for OSE Universal Rotor with pile-driving attachment. Geardown can also be used for tractor drive.
  • P2 pile - up to 10'
  • Microtrac - with mower, tiller, small round baler, rake, and cutter. Decrease track width possibly to 8" on both LifeTrac and MicroTrac.
  • Mower - Rotary Disk Mower.
  • Rake -
  • Baler - simple
  • Brushhog
