This page is going to be turned into a redirect to CEB Press Intro, but first we need to strip out the useful info and put it where it's needed. Everything should end up in one of the following: CEB Press Intro, CEB Press Development, CEB Press Bill of Materials, CEB Press Build Instructions, CEB Press user's manual



Social Enterprise Reviews

  1. Review of the social enterprise experiment by P2P Foundation
  2. Review by Samuel Rose of Social Synergy
  3. P2P Foundation review of the economic model

How about through-tie with rebar? We are considering this for double brick thickness walls. We could use technical help on this.

  • Rebar can get very expensive in the developing world. The galvinized wire reinforcing is much lighter, (aka a shipping container from these guys as an examle - [10] , **probably could provide better resistance to earthquake, simular pricing to rebar per pound, and probably 5 times the support per pound of material) as well as not needing double thickness which cuts down on labor.
