Then the professional cement crew came and framed the greywater trench, poured a first round of cement, made a rebar grid on the floor for the big pour, poured the cement for the big concrete slab, levelled it, and polished it off with some big fan blade looking thing, that a guy pushes across the floor when it's partially set. We waited almost a week to start moving in some of the lighter items. <br />

The insulation is too dense for rodents to chew through, and higher R value than stuff on the market that is 3 times thicker (this stuff is 4 inches thick). On top of all that, there's a grid of rebar for structural support for the concrete that will be poured. <br />

This summer (2018) we finished fencing our entire 10 acres. About 1/3 of each of two sides we had previously done, so we finished those two sides, and put fence posts and fencing along the remaining two sides. IT was a lot of work.<br />
<br />
As for the earthship, we should have the metal roofing on within the next week or so. Rain in August and now September has been delaying things. Here are some progress pics:<br />

To try things our floor-wise, we put down poly (vapour barrier) on half the floor, followed by 4 inches of rigid foam insulation, then osb plywood. We'll see how it goes heat-wise on our feet. The flooring is just temporary and we'll likely redo it next year, with some 2x4's framing around the insulation so we have something to staple the osb to, to keep it from shifting around.SPloskerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05421588508196528126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633228714751589274.post-1875577086031065422017-09-29T14:45:00.003-07:002017-09-29T14:45:40.017-07:00All closed in!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Right now it has been way too hot during the day to do anything without getting heat stroke and thunderstorming at night (which means no tire pounding; if you use wet dirt then as it dries there will be airspace and the tires won't be fully compacted). We've started on the second round of packout (using a cement mixture to fill in the tire walls so they're flat).<br />

There was one week in mid-Oct where it was fairly nice and things dried up (it had been raining off and on for a few weeks). We got tarps on everything during that dry window and then it started to rain again a few days later, so perfect timing.<br />

The two main tarps are 40ft x 60 ft, so a lot of the berm is covered too. It should keep the snow melt off so that we can get started right away in the spring, and more importantly, it will keep water off during the freeze/thaw cycle for those weeks in the winter when it's above zero, sunny, and melting during the day, and below zero and freezing during the night. You definitely want to avoid water getting into the tire walls when those freeze/thaw cycles occur. This should hopefully be the only winter we have to do this; we hope to get the roof on by the end of next summer/fall. <br />

We will be tarping up very soon and calling it for the season. We got over 500 tires pounded (only about 20 small sized tires left to do along the south wall to support the windows), culverts, insulation, cisterns all backburried. It was a productive summer, and we look forward to starting back up next summer. Thanks everyone for your support and enthusiasm! :)</span></span>SPloskerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05421588508196528126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633228714751589274.post-66317111463569153902016-09-01T05:24:00.001-07:002016-09-01T05:24:11.801-07:00Updated Tire CountWe're close to being done pounding tires! So close. Updated tire count on the front wall (the south facing wall that will support the windows):<br />
1st row: 215's---38 tires pounded<br />
2nd row: 205's---3 tires pounded (35 more to go)<br />
There will only be two rows total for this front part.<br />

We had been talking about installing screen doors on the trailer and rabbitry to keep flies out. He checked a bunch of stores and unless you're willing to pay hundreds of dollars, your only options are absolute garbage. So, he made and installed two doors himself while I was gone. I just got back and together we Maghda-proofed them with some chicken wire. She absolutely destroyed the screen on the screen door at our house in Brandon trying to paw at the doorknob to open the door. She's relentless, and she can open doors as long as they open inwards. <br />

between each pair of tires a few weeks ago. Now we've connected them
with more concrete mix. I like to think of the filled scallops as O's
that we just connected by a bunch of X's. We still have just shy of 50
tires to pound along the front (south facing wall to support the
windows). Once the tires are done we'll be continuing packout with
adobe, making the walls one relatively smooth surface with no lumps.<br />

We've decided to use 215's for the first row and 205's for the second row. This wall is not load-bearing; it just has to hold the weight of the windows. The smaller sized tires should be fine for this, and will make it nice & quick. We've lined up the 215's and it will take 38 tires for the first row. We had four enthusiastic volunteers come out Saturday and we pounded 13 tires! We've now finished tire #16 so 22 more to go for the first course.<br />

The only tires left to pound are the ones to support the south-facing windows, which will be maybe 70-80 tires. We've got clay piled up in a line right beside where those tires need to go, so it should be super quick filling them up. <br />
<br />
The back wall consists of <b>444</b> tires total <br />
First course (size: 265): <b>54</b> tires <br />
Second course (size: 265): <b>52</b> tires (less tires because of the culverts and a few blocks to fix spacing issues caused by the culverts)<br />Third course (size:245): <b>56</b> tires <br />
Fourth course (size:235): <b>57</b> tires <br />
Fifth course (size:235): <b>57</b> tires <br />
Sixth course (size:235): <b>56</b> tires <br />
Seventh course (size:225): <b>56</b> tires <br />
Eighth course (size:225): <b>56</b> tires <br />
<br />
Our back wall is supposed to be 8 feet from finished floor level, including the bond beam. Each course is about 10-11 inches, so our bond beam may need to be about 18 inches tall. The bond beam needs to be a minimum 8 inches, so it really would have been cutting it close doing a 9th row, plus we are getting sick of pounding tires anyway.

We've finished the main tire wall (more on that later!---the only tire pounding left to do is two rows along the front to support the south facing windows) and have begun packout. The initial packout is done by filling in between the tires with a cement mixture to prevent any compacted earth from the tire above from falling through. We used an entire pallet of cement and a decent amount of sand, clay, rocks, and beer bottles to fill all the gaps. Tom and I got 70% done in a single day (and that includes taking the evening off to put our feet up and watch a movie). We had lots of practice with cement over the last few summers while building the rabbitry, so the initial packout went super fast!<img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv6T2-kQBq7ItvOZf2SNCtUoAmaJ_OMtlmjwwAA4_1RWZZaBgcI-67xZ6wzzYpZHwfnLuR29z4giXzJw4EcRObzCH_oiYJTAQuz6XClw6nRXThB4WX5JyiBIs5rmjky0042G6SPds2ctw/s640/IMG_20160806_074232.jpg" width="640" /></div>

I'm wondering if we'll break the 500 tire mark by the time we're all done. We collected around 1000+ tires, so I guess we'll do lots of tire flower planters, tire lawn ornaments, and other crafty things to use them all up.

The cisterns have been put into position and backburried. Sorry the pics are a bit out of order; I had others taking photos for me while I was away. We're all set to start the 8th course and the two courses that go along the front (to support the windows) once the rain clears. Unfortunately it's supposed to be at least another week of rain to come :(<br />

We've reached the 300 tire mark and have just started the 6th course. We've got enough 235's to do the 6th and 7th courses. Whatever sized vehicle they go on must be pretty popular around here. The updated tire count on June 18th was 210 tires, so we've done 90 tires in just four days---that's just over 22 tires a day! It's supposed to rain on the weekend though, which will decrease our average.<br />
