Sub Layers for Earthen Floor!

Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Recent Progress as of November 27th 2013
Prepping and making earthen floor and a simple water catch system.

Crushed limestone spread over the gravel to cushion the vapor barrier that is to be set over it.




Before we spread the limestone powder we sprinkle rock salt all over the floor to deter termites.

The salt is the powder you see here. It is agricultural grade and quite cheap.


 

My first water catch system to catch water from the roof

The over flow from one goes into the second barrel which overflows to the outside.



I like organic shapes

The back porch is now our tool storing area

Still clearing and cleaning up debri from around the house. In the little valley there is a wet weather creek that we are damming up to make a little pond and waterfall.
