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.

Enterprise Crash Course

  1. Codes and Inspection Schedule - get some architects to do this.
  2. Lot Purchasing - get someone in real estate such as Dean Jackson from I Love Marketing
  3. Organizing Build Events - Extreme Manfuacturing. People Pay You to Work for Them.

Budget

  • 4 assistants - hire them asap. Budget for 6 months of their time.
  • Roles is effectively marketing - and on-boarding people. What exactly are they doing? Specifically. And for 2 years. Either 4 of them for full, or 2 for partial program.
  • Fabrication - on site - $25/hr.

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

  • Printer - large - 40 hr
  • CNC TT - 40 hr
  • High T Printer - 40 hr
  • Shredder Build - 40 hr
  • Filament Maker Build - 40 hr
  • 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.
  • [4] Power Cube - 40 hr Duromax.
  • 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
