Watch the Earthship grow - day 32
Today we started compacting the floors.
It looks like we’ll be laying tiles, but we have received various ideas from local builders on the best method for laying them. Ideas range from concrete slabs to laying them into the clay earth to everything in between.
There’s no rush, so we’ll be moving on to other areas of the building as we investigate local methods.
The trusses are being reset to 2′, previously spaced for 4′, the second tire (formed) window has been set, and the site has received a preliminary cleaning as all of the surplus tires have been stacked and accounted for.
They will be used to build new Earthships as the passion for green real estate in Nicaragua grows.
