BOM - Catarina

  • BOM documents folder - [6]
  • Main BOM - [7]
  • The structural CAD for the roof is in this folder (file Belize Microhouse.sh3d): [8]

Based on that design, I drew up this list of materials: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hWAUu4roXp0N2semHtghBP9BiFgIIEbpUNXANQZX1wk/edit#gid=0

The list is not 100% complete - I still need to add screws and more nails - but it has the most critical components for the roof and loft. I believe the priority right now is to get the lumber (so it has time to dry) and check if the hardware (tie plates and hurricane ties) is available there or if it needs to come from the US.

Most lumber needs to be hardwood and rot-resistant (it'll be exposed to the elements). This is all specified in the "grade" column. Aidan talked to the carpenter who recommended a couple wood species as being good for roofs (hardwood and rot-resistant).

The dimensions on the document are what we need. If the wood is green and is going to shrink, we will need slightly longer boards (to account for shrinkage).

Publicity

CEB Microhouse Build - We're doing a CEB MIcroHouse Build in 5 days in Belize early next year - Feb 22-26, 2020 - our first workshop outside the US. This is immersion, vacation, and service. We're working on making Microhouse builds highly replicable and super efficient, both in the US and abroad. Sign up for early bird registration today.
