A
A
look
at
this
where
we're
so
here
the
the
second
story.
Walls
are
up.
So
where
are
we
between
the
first
and
second?
That's
roof?
First
floor
walls
story
floor.
C
C
A
A
All
right
well,
the
way
it
was
so
we
had
the
life
track
there
with
the
going
up
there
next
to
this
window
as
soon
as
we
had
it
up
to
about
there
and
people
could
get
a
good
handle
like
people
were
up
there
as
soon
as
the
top
of
the
wall
module
is
like
right
there,
you
just
pull
it
up
over
the
edge,
that's
what
happened,
and
we
actually
so
here
we
replaced
like
all
the
siding,
because
it's
a
little
uneven
colored,
so
we
fixed
that.
A
B
A
Yeah
like
this
is
this
is
the
permutations
here,
but
rosebud
is
number
three
right
there
think
about
four
units.
A
Okay,
so
this
is
four
units
of
256
square
feet
and
you
can
arrange
them
in
about
30
or
so
different
permutations,
where
each
of
them
make
a
viable
kind
of
a
house
like
here's,
a
two-story
tower,
which
is
our
deal
right
there,
you
can
have
like
a
courtyard
structure
in
the
middle.
You
have
a
long
house,
you
can
have.
I
mean
the
standard
ones
would
be
like
oh
yeah,
so
this
is
aspen.
This
is
the
one
we
actually
started
with
two
on
a
first
floor
thousand
square
feet
with
a
connecting
walkway.
A
A
E
A
A
This
was
like
45
and
then
the
materials
prices
went
up,
so
I
mean
a
significant
change
in
cost,
but
you
want
one
floor
simple
to
build.
This
is
not
going
to
be
for
your
grandma
to
build,
but
a
one
story:
it's
it's
quite
even
possible
yeah
with
a
few
people.
So
that's
the
difference
by
design
just
to
show
like
what
did
the.
A
How
do
these
things
look
in
terms
of
concept
design?
I
just
wanted
to
show
what
well,
let's
let's
go
to
aspen's,
we
called
that
one
aspen.
A
E
A
That's
our
house
there
on
the
north
part
of
the
land,
so
we're
like
right
here,
so
you
drive
around
it,
but
we're
looking
at
okay
aspen
and
then
you
have
greenhouse
next
to
it
and
stuff
like
that.
So
we're
thinking
about
utilities
we're
actually
one
cool
thing
to
do-
is
a
gravity
pond
for
energy
storage.
A
So
a
tiny,
quite
a
tiny
pond
can
get
you
like,
like
a
tiny
quarter,
acre
pond.
It's
like
you
get
like
24
kilowatt
hours,
like
that's
an
equivalent
of
a
huge
huge
battery
bank
you're,
pumping
that
with
solar
during
the
day
you're
doing
hydropower
at
night.
Apparently,
the
two
scalable
forms
of
storage
are
compressed
air
and
hydro
compared
to
batteries.
Batteries
like
forget
about
that
you're
not
going
to
do
with
batteries
there
they're
too
toxic
these
days,
like
especially
lithium,
nickel
iron,
so
like
we
have
nickel
iron
in
a
set
just
for
perspective.
A
When
you
look
at
the
numbers
there's
only
enough
for
like
a
total,
like
I
actually
did,
the
numbers
like
is
nickel
and
iron.
An
abundant
resource
iron
is
but
there's
not
enough.
Nickel
there's
enough
nickel
for
about
1
billion
cars.
Well,
that's
going
to
run
out
pretty
soon.
So
how
do
you
do?
Storage?
Well,
it's
like
gravity
compressed
air.
Those
are
the
scalable
things,
but
before
that,
like
rocky
mountain
institute
and
marie
lovins,
they
talk
about.
A
Okay
efficiency
is
the
number
one
thing
so
design
everything
to
be
super
efficient,
like
including
the
fridge
that
you
can
turn
up
at
night:
thermal
storage:
that's
seasonal,
like
big
masses
of
rock
or
water.
That
gets
you
through
the
night
or
through
the
winter,
even
like
that
kind
of
stuff.
And
then
all
you
need
is
like
a
few
lights
and
a
computer.
You
know
that's
tiny
batteries,
so
batteries
are
great
for
those
cordless
power
tools,
but
I
wouldn't
say
they're
great
for
cars,
but
just
too
much
mass
in
there
did.
A
That
tesla
to
switch
to
haven't
really,
but
let's
see,
do
we
have
some.
I
just
want
to
show
like
if
you
look
at
building
any
of
these
models.
C
A
Rose
so
we
went
to
rose,
but
let's
see
what
we
have
for
aspen.
B
A
We're
getting
kind
of
distracted
here,
but
anyway
you
can
do
a
lot
of
different
permutations,
but
let's
go
over
yeah,
so
I
mean
we
want
to
figure
that
out
for
this
simple
owner
builder,
like
you
can
start
with
a
500
square
foot
as
well,
you
don't
have
to
do
the
thousand
we're
saying
the
thousand
is
relevant
for
a
marketable
model.
That
looks
like
a
colonial
house.
So
that's
the
idea
and
that's
also
very
low
cost.
But
you
have
the
second
story
issue
and
that's
not
a
joke.
A
A
Let's
go
through
the
the
detail
of
the
the
build.
We've
got
the
full
details
on
the
wall
modules
we've
done
like
eight
as
far
as
the
let
and
let's
actually
look
at
the
videotape
from
yesterday,
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
more
because
actually,
if
you
look
at
the
numbers
from
yesterday,
we
got
the
so
we
got
the
live
stream.
We've
got
the
subfloor
install
things
like
this,
so
we
started
with
this
with
our
scaffolding.
That's
pretty
cool
any
comments
on
that.
B
B
By
just
for
to
keep
it
a
little
bit
lighter,
but
yeah,
it's
good
to
go
and
it's
been
tested
by.
B
It's
been
tested,
so
it's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
difficult
to
move
around,
but
two
people
sliding
it
on
that
concrete
works
really
really
well,
although
like
it
should,
the
preference
is
to
have
it
affixed
to
the
house,
like,
especially
when
we're
doing
things
like
corners
and
stuff,
like
that
yeah.
G
B
Wall
modules,
but
I
think
yeah.
A
It's
actually
used
interior
modules
from
this
house
as
our
scaffolding
right
now
right
but
yeah.
This
is
cool.
So
we
put
the
supporting
structure
here,
because
that
cutout
is
not
structural.
All
that
weight
is
on
the
before
these.
These
two
supporting
walls,
all
the
weight
of
that
entire
house
section,
was
between
this
joist
and
one
ten
feet
away.
A
So
now
that's
good,
so
people
can
walk
up
there
and
we
start
putting
on
the
osb.
Now
that
would
be
the
plywood.
That's
great.
I
mean
two
hours,
ten
minutes
with
two
and
a
half
people
to
do
it
the
whole
floor,
that's
pretty
good
and
then,
at
the
same
time,
actually
in
a
workshop,
you
guys
did
eight
modules,
which
means
15
minutes
per
module.
A
Four
people
yeah,
so
that's
great
four
people
working
at
the
same
time
so
like
if
you
take
two
people,
30
minutes
per
module,
yeah,
that's
around
the
time
where
it
gets
pretty
efficient.
So
I
like
it-
I
like
it,
but
this
when
we
did.
If
you
remember,
we
did
a
mark
down
the
very
middle
works.
Great
then
you
just
put.
A
We
started
on
this
one
right
here,
just
kept
going
right
along
to
that
mark,
seamless
thing
that
we
did
on
version
two
was
put
the
still
gasket
on
the
under
on
the
on
the
joists
so
that
you
eliminate
squeaking
the
way
they
do
it.
Industry
standard
is
typically
you
do
glue,
but
you
can
imagine
that
that
could
be
a
little
hard
right
because
one
once
you
put
it
on
there,
you're
not
taking
it
off
and
two.
Where
are
you
stepping?
A
So
you
have
to
avoid
the
glue
and
once
you
stick
it
on
it's
hard
to
move,
you
basically
have
to
pry
it
up.
So
I
think
the
silk
gasket
idea
is
a
great
thing.
We
don't
know
if
anybody
that
does
it
everyone
either
glues
it
we're
not
using
tongue
and
groove
plywood
we're
using
regular
plywood.
We
did
not
use
clips
clips
would
go
in
between.
A
One
comment
about
the
screws
we
use
two
inch
screws.
I
would
actually
go
a
little
longer,
not
that
there's
any
issue
right
now,
but
once
again,
I
think
20
50
years
down,
everything's
gonna
start
getting
loose
so
the
more
grab
you
have.
That
may
add,
like
a
few
years
to
to
the
point
where
the
floor
is
absolutely
solid.
A
Now,
after
you
put
the
plywood
on
it's
essentially
as
if
you
fix
this
entire
beam
to
itself,
like
think
of
a
cap
on
a
jar
or
something
like
a
like
this
thing,
where
it's
kind
of
flexible
right
now,
but
once
you
put
the
cap
on
it,
it
becomes
much
less
flexible
that
kind
of
a
deal.
So
that's
what
that's
what
the
all
the
plywood
up
there
looks
like
so
right
now.
I
don't
think
you
can
really
shake
it.
A
If
we
just
bounce
around
up
there,
I
think
it's
pretty
solid
right
now
and
we
we
did
like
the
proper
screw
schedule,
and
that
is
six
inch
on
the
edges,
which
is
everywhere
so
the
perimeter
which
is
100
feet
of
perimeter
and
every
panel,
where
you
have
an
edge
on
a
beam
except
for
where
you
have
the
two
foot,
spacing
you
can't
get
any
screws
in
between
there
and
in
the
field.
It's
one
foot,
that's
the
industry
standard.
A
E
A
We
did
not
use
the
clips
this
time.
We
just
avoided
that
we
just
cut
the
floor
up
so.
A
Let's
go
to
the
dock,
the
working
dock
itself,
so
where
do
you
find
it
too
many
links
to
keep
track
of
so
take
a
look
at
scene,
home
3.,
but
by
the
way,
let's
actually
take
a
look
at
what
we
did
on
a
micro
house,
because
the
micro
house
is
one
of
the
50
tools
of
the
global
village
construction
set.
It's
a
it's
a
living
machine,
so
micro
house,
one
page
on
the
wiki
you
want
to
take
a
look
at
is
genealogies.
A
A
A
Yeah,
that's
I
lived
in
there
for
like
a
few
good
years
from
2006
to
2012,
actually,
which
one
is
it's
the
one:
the
earth
bag?
That's!
Oh!
That
thing!
That's
the
cord
wood!
That's
that's
the
two.
We
added
that
for
our
first
intern,
you
got
a
living
roof.
Living
rooms
are
awesome.
F
A
Have
on
top
there
is
not
on
this
one,
but
on
the
first
one,
black
locust
round
wood
with
rebar
stakes
through
it,
that's
not
coming
down,
that's
going
to
be
there
for
the
next
100
or
200
years.
A
So
that's
not
the
cd
cajon.
Yet
then
we
built
the
original
osc
workshop,
the
the
old
one,
it's
cbs,
so
that's
the
first
cb
thing
and
then
hablab.
So
this
was
this
was
in
like
that's,
that's
cb!
We
got
cb
walls
in
there
and
that
was
initially
how
it
was,
and
this
is
kind
of
the
model
for
what
you
want
to
have
here
out
in
the
patio
in
the
front.
So
this
is
hablab
make
that
havelab
make
a
nice
patio
up
front
with
your
swimming
pool
in
aquaponics.
A
A
So
that's
how
it
looked
initially
yeah.
This
is
kind
of
the
floor
plan
there.
So
that's
that's
this
building,
then
we
went
into
micro
houses.
So
these
things
like
this-
that
was
the
first
one
built
it's
also
cb,
and
this
kind
of
structure
is
convenient.
You
got
a
loft
for
sleeping
there
that
turned
into
jeff's
house,
because
we
added
the
second
side
to.
A
Right
now
it's
jeff's
kitchen,
but
this
is
the
that's
now
micro
house,
one-
and
this
is
micro
house,
two,
another
very
small,
cev
structure.
We've
got
the
time
lapse
of
it
being
built
but
see
see
the
first
one.
Then
we
put
the
second
one
in
there
and
then
connected
them
in
between
and
after
that
added
the
back.
So
we
were
actually
pressing
brick
real
time
as
we
built
it.
A
A
In
the
meantime,
the
block
here
is
actually
the
slurry
between
the
block
and
the
other
step
you
want
to
add
to
this
is
the
double
bass,
the
basket
technique,
which
means,
as
you
lay
the
block
you
lay
wire,
some
kind
of
a
connected
tie,
two
cents,
a
wire
that
after
then,
afterwards
you
put
on
some
kind
of
either
chicken
wire
or
more
like
lap
like
metal
or
like
yeah,
like
whatever
kind
of
a
covering
that
gets.
A
F
A
A
If
you
do
the
top
plate,
if
you
do
the
basket
technique,
you
can
put
the
top
right
on
the
wood
could
be
concrete,
bonding
on
top,
don't
put
rebar
stakes
through
it.
Just
lay
it
on
top
it'll,
settle
about
three
quarters
of
an
inch
after
all,
the
water
dries
out.
These
are
like
fresh,
pretty
much
wet
and
cured
brick.
A
For
that,
as
long
as
like
your
windows,
you
have
to
allow
for,
for
things
to
basically
settle
just
a
little
bit.
That
could
be
an
art
in
itself.
A
You
do
that's
the
industry
standard
is
to
do
that.
If
you
were,
we
were
here
and
we
were
actually
wanting
to
well.
First,
we
were
experimenting
with.
Is
it
actually
feasible
and
doable
in
terms
of
time?
It
is
it's
a
really
cool
thing
like
say
you
know
like
disaster
relief
or
whatever
under
certain
conditions,
but
the
industry
standard
I
mean
yeah,
you
drive
them.
A
About
exactly
what
you
do
there,
if
it's
impermeable,
then
you
no
longer
have
that
feature,
so
you
might
want
to
go
into
things
like
lime,
lime,
plasters,
so
basket
technique.
If
you
want
to
watch
a
nice
video
of
the
advantages
of
cb,
this
is
a
very
good
one
by
a
builder
who's
from
the
united
states.
A
So
here's
the
explanation
of
the
basket
technique
for
earthquake
reinforcement
take
a
look
at
that.
So
that's
this
video
video
here,
but
this
this
presentation
here.
Well
I
mean
this.
G
A
G
G
A
B
A
Genealogy
so
faculty
house,
that's
curtis's
home,
that's
how
it
was
initial
they're
doing
that.
That's
that's
what
it
was.
That's
also
cbs.
We
did
that
in
the
workshop,
but
we
built
like
like
two-thirds
of
it
in
cbs.
Then
we
built
up
with
with
wood,
since
we
couldn't
finish
it.
Otherwise,
the
micro
house
3,
was
an
addition
on
to
the
micro
house.
2.
A
No,
they
call
it.
Wood
is
way
faster,
it's
way
easier,
so
the
difference
between
we
call
this
micro
house,
four,
actually
yeah,
so
that's
jeff's
place
and
it
was
freshly
built.
The
back
back
walls
are
that's
also
cb.
On
the
back,
and
here
we
experiment
with
these
three
foot:
wide
16
foot,
long,
roof
modules,
so
they're
in
the
ceiling,
they're
kind
of
heavy.
You
have
to
do
them
in
two
layers,
two
layers
of
two
by
six,
so
they
end
up
being
a
two
by
twelve
equivalent.
B
It
works:
is
there
any
code
issue
with
there
being
a
split
in
the
wood
on
a
length
lengthwise.
A
Don't
know
because
that
wasn't
we
weren't
looking
at
codes
at
that
time.
A
A
A
Up
this
week,
so
we'll
do
that
awesome,
but
this
is
the
aquaponics
is
built
initially
on
a
on
the
jeff's
house,
but
that's
that's
all
run
down
right
now.
We
we
would
have
to
recondition
that.
A
A
B
Were
those
bricks,
pre-made
off-site.
A
But
we
started
this
with,
so
that's
the
like
a
very
basic
foundation
there.
The
way
to
do
this
fast
is.
We
have
some
forms
to
lay
the
bricks
against
like
if
you
have
strings
strings,
don't
work
because
too
many
people
move
them
around.
A
A
Well,
I'm
thinking
if
we
do
something
like
so
that
with
the
rebar
like
the
rebar
truss
structure
like
if
you
already
have
flat
posts
to
work
against,
then
you
can
lay
really
really
fast.
There'll
be
one
way
to
do.
C
A
This
thing
here
like
this
is
actually
what
we're
looking
at
is
a
really
good
way
to
do
this.
But
this
is
that's
the
design.
Imagine
a
structure
like
that
with
20
on
20
centers
and
that's
the
rebar
truss
made
of
the
rebar
trusses
you
see,
laying
down
on
the
ground.
There
weld
four
of
them
together
to
form
a
truss
like
that
with
a
thousand
one
hundred
pounds,
it
deflects
like
a
quarter
inch,
we've
just
tested
it,
so
this
is
really
cool.
A
So
imagine
you
have
this
whole
thing
and
you
crank
out
your
bricks
and
just
lay
them
across
straight
boards
behind
you
know
just
mount
some
boards
there.
That
will
be
a
quick,
build,
very
effective
way
to
do
it.
We
look
forward
to
that,
and
I
mentioned
about
making
the
bricks
a
little
smaller,
because
right
now,
there's
four
by
six
by
12
and
about
20
pounds
each
after
all
day
they
get
heavy
on
you.
A
So
but
that's
that's
a
kind
of
a
concept
for
what
you
want
to
do
for
a
fast
like
really
fast,
build
but
yeah.
I
mean
look
at
the
extent
of
this.
This
pre-framed,
like
we
just,
did
this
to
get
a
straight
set
of
posts
so
that
we
can
lay
against
them
very
rapidly
and
we
did
like
we
were
laying-
and
it's
like
three
three
seconds
per
block
like
the
person
hands
it
over.
There's
slurry
available,
lay
it
on
the
ground,
lay
it
on
the
wall
next,
one
like
literally
like
so
it
was
almost
like.
A
Like
this.
It's
not
like
a
bricklaying
where
you
have
to
get
the
fine
level
at
with
the
mortar.
Here
you
can
even
use
water
as
the
mortar,
because
the
water
will
actually
melt
the
block
and
make
them
bond
to
each
other.
So
that's
yeah.
Is
that
what
you
actually
use,
that
is
the
motor
was
water.
A
It
was
actually
watered-down
mixture
of
the
soil,
okay,
with
a
little
bit
of
cement
in
here
since
the
bricks
were
stabilized
yeah.
We
use
stabilization,
but
I
mean,
as
far
as
the
quality
control
and
stabilization,
it's
like
they
did
it
with
a
rototiller
and
just
by
hand.
You
can't
really
get
that
uniform.
So
the
next
deal
there
is
the
sole
mixer,
a
dedicated
machine
that
does
the
mixing
and
dosing
of
the
appropriate
amount
of
cement.
Otherwise
you
don't
have
any
quality
control,
and
you
know
one
brick
might
be
good.
A
Another
one's
got
a
soft
spot
stuff
like
that,
so
yeah
yeah.
That
was
pretty
good.
We
were
mixing
the
actual
yeah
that
was
actually
the
slurry.
We
were
mixing
for
with
the
tractor
auger
and
just
those,
so
that
was
basically
a
lot
of
the
soil,
a
little
bit
of
cement
and
bunch
of
water.
So
that's
a
slurry.
A
The
stucco,
because
so
he
did
like
at
the
very
end
the
stucco,
maybe
go
down.
We
got
tons
of
pictures
here
so
yeah
here
you
see
the
this
is
just
chicken
wire,
both
sides
and
the
stucco
is
not
too
bad.
I
mean
you,
you
do
your
stucco,
it's
like
that.
You
put
a
nail
in
and
then
twist
it
around
and
screw
it
in
to
get
that
mesh
into
the
wall.
You
can
screw
right
into
the
brick
still.
So
that's
what
we
did
that
that
kind
of
a
technique.
A
A
This
is
just
to
test
an
earthquake
design,
okay,
not
sure
if
they
have
earthquakes
down,
but
now
this
is
like
belizes
and
right
next
to
the
water,
and
as
soon
as
we
put
up
that
chicken
wire
it
starts
rusting.
Oh
it's
like
they,
the
guy
said
hey.
You
can't
do
that
here,
wouldn't
have
enough
communication
to
to
know
that.
A
F
A
C
A
B
A
I
mean
we
got
strands
of
concrete
strands,
so
that's
the
if
you
notice
the
basket
technique,
you
got
the
mesh
all
the
way
around
it
and
all
the
way
at
the
bottom.
So
it's
a
complete
wrap.
I
mean
it'll
just
kind
of
float
with
the
punches
and
then
the
rebar
two
strands
of
rebar,
so
yeah
a
bunch
of
forming
there
but
yeah
it's
very
solid
at
the
end
and
look
how
thick
that
was
we
just
mixed
that
when
you
make
it
so
thick,
it
makes
it
super
strong,
as
opposed
like
the
least
water.
A
You
have
the
more
more
strong
most
strong.
It
is,
if
you
got
it
runny
it
just
doesn't
have
as
much
strength.
It
was
kind
of
interesting
to
see
because,
like
guys
were
arguing
this
one
guy
was
a
concrete
engineer
and
people
are
saying
well,
what's
that
that's
like
here,
I
put
some
more
water
in
it,
but
you
could
actually
see
when
this
set
so
the
other
side,
like
the
other
guys
there
they
did
it
much
more
runny,
but
then
after
this
set,
you
can
knock
on
it.
C
A
D
A
Screwed
in
you
look
at
some
of
the
details
here.
Yeah
I
mean
we
try
to
like
screw
it
into
the
side
of
the
house
as
much
as
we
can
somewhere
like
lay
it
in
between
like
yeah.
We
have
to
expand
the
walls
because
it
has
to
be
as
thick
as
the
walls
so
yeah.
It
was
kind
of
hard.
That
was
a
lot
of
work
to
put
it
up
there,
but
you
have
boards
that
are
on
the
side
of
the
house
and
try
to
reinforce
them.
A
C
A
You
know
what
they
did
for
the
plywood
there.
What's
the
industry
standard
in
belize
for
protecting
wood.
H
A
A
A
The
same
because
the
materials
there
are
just
about
the
same,
the
wood
we
use,
this
locally
cut
wood,
comparable
prices
to
what's
here
it
was
pretty
rot,
resistant,
very
heavy
wood
like
we
asked
for
two
by
fours,
and
we
got
two
by
fours
and
man.
They
were
like,
probably
like
three
times
as
strong
as
like
a
standard
two
by
four
here,
like
the
wood
was
rock
solid
and
it
was
actually
a
two
by
four.
A
So
we
really
overdid
the
wood
like
we,
we
just
used
like
half
the
trusses
we
had
because
they
were
so
solid
yeah
anyway,
so
that
was
a
pretty
cool
adventure.
C
B
A
Cb
micro
house
build
manual,
oh
yeah,
so
we
start
on
this
build
manual
for
the
micro
houses
like
what
is
this
about.
Is
this
more
like
for
the
old
versions
or
this
cdca
home,
because
we
have
one,
that's
actually
a
simple
thing:
called
house
design
guide.
A
So
here
we're
trying
to
document
actually
like
the
more
detail,
everything
about
everything
about
it.
Okay,
so
how
do
you
do
electrical?
How
do
you
do
a
roof?
How
do
you
do
a
stairway?
How
do
you
do
the
wall
modules
and
floor?
So
that's
work
in
progress,
but
we're
trying
to
simply
document
like
all
the
systems
we
have
like.
Okay,
starting
with
what's
solving
housing.
A
But
look
at
this
like
oh,
this
would
be
the
expanded
version
where
it's
that's
the
initial
and
that's
the
first
edition
on
them.
This
is
actually
a
whole
square
edition,
so
that's
rosebud.
That
will
be
like
that's
the
edition.
We're
actually
planning
on
that.
So
we're
gonna
take
rosebud
and
do
a
staggered
addition
on
the
back
for
a
thousand
square
feet
just
to
see
how
the
expandability
works.
A
It's
designed
for
expansion,
as
you
may
have
seen
yeah
I
mean
we're
documenting
all
this
katrina
and
I
were
kind
of
concluding
that,
like
what
we're
building
right
now,
it's
different
because
it
seems
to
be
like
quite
stabilizing
this
floor.
Like
we
did
that's
exact
same
thing,
we
don't
have
to
change
anything
on
it.
It
works
really
well.
That
was.
C
A
That
was
the
initial
concept
of
the
the
aspen,
not
not
much
trimmed
up
or
finished
yet,
but
yeah.
So
it's
like
how
do
you
build
a
house?
Oh
you
just
need
a
foundation,
walls,
windows,
doors,
roof
and
kitchen
and
other
things.
So
you
kind
of
try
to
identify
pattern,
language
of
building
blocks
that
can
get
you
just
about
anything
so
how
you
design
the
door.
You
can
actually
get
some
insights
out
of
these
things.
I
do
the
roof.
This
is
what
we're
doing
for
the
roof.
You
know
the
different
layers
of
it.
A
Core
utility
module:
that's
what
we
have
this
we're
going
to
get
to
this
in
the
second
home,
but
we
have
a
very
simple
like
in
one
corner,
there's
the
bathroom
and
kitchen
on
the
other
side,
so
we're
sharing
the
plumbing
in
these
two
utility
walls
which
make
for
a
super
compact
design
of
all
your
utilities,
which
cost
the
rotten
plumbing
was
under
500
bucks.
Typically,
it's
like
5
000
bucks.
Now
it's
a
small
house,
but
I
mean
you
can
design
it
super
simple.
A
Just
just
two
penetration,
three
penetrations!
Well,
actually
you
can
say
two
penetration,
so
there's
one
hole
here
which
has
these
two
pipes
and
then
the
other
one
for
the
for
the
toilet.
There's
two
penetrations
in
the
entire
house,
water
also
comes
in
through
there.
Typically,
you
might
have
a
foundation
where
you
got
all
these
pipes
and
stubs
coming
up.
You
gotta,
when
you
do
the
concrete
you
gotta
work
around
them
much
simpler.
A
So
just
do
it
do
the
simplicity
by
design
components
like
what
are
all
the
components
just
try
to
break
it
down
to
the
the
critical
aspects
that
you
need.
C
A
A
A
H
G
A
Yeah,
I
think
the
roof
is
30..
The
first
floor
is
like
20,
I'm
not
sure,
but
it's
it's
like
within
code,
so
it
would
get
you
up
to
like
near
minnesota
there
you
might
have
to
go
45
more
roof.
H
And
then
it's
a
basement.
Is
that
a
consideration,
or
is
that
just
too
much
of
a
cost
driver.
A
C
A
What
we're
doing
is
a
utility
channel
we'll
get
into
this,
but
basically
in
the
bottom
of
a
wall,
we
run
all
the
wires
through
a
utility
channel
at
the
bottom,
so
we
pre-build
the
electrical
outlets
into
the
walls.
We
didn't
do
that
here,
but
we
did
it
in
the
other
house.
The
v2
then
run
wires
from
the
brake
box
readily
through
this
utility
channel,
so
you're
not
going
through
any
studs
or
anything
like
that.
It's
very
simple!
So
paying
attention
to
this
modular
structure.
A
How
do
you
do
a
foundation?
This
discusses
how
we
do
it,
but
that's
the
just
to
review
this
thing
like
how
do
we
get
a
square?
Once
again,
you
got
to
remember
this
technique.
It's
not
easy
because
it's
like
there's
too
many
moving
things
like
you're
dealing
with
reality,
but
the
procedure
that
we
use
and
works
and
gets
you
a
perfect
square
in
like
10
minutes
fix,
so
you
say
doing
the
foundation
forms
fix
the
forms
on
this
side
measure
32
feet
here.
A
Well,
but
you
don't
know
where
you
are
there,
so
you
might
want
to
put
a
couple
of
points
we'll
also
put
another
next
to
it.
Next
to
it
where
you're
32.?
Well,
eventually,
it
really
draws
out
a
like
a
very,
very
wide
arc,
so
draw
a
line
there
and
then
draw
that
corresponding
arc
from
the
length
that
you
determine
by
taking
16,
squared,
plus
32
squared
and
take
the
square
root
of
that
will
get
you
a
very
explicit
number.
F
A
That's
the
length
of
this
line
here
so
measure
that,
with
a
tape,
put
a
point
there
or
a
few
points
which
effectively
make
an
arc
where
they
intersect
is
exactly
exactly
your
corner
point.
That
is
square
no
question
about
it.
So
do
that
now?
What
are
you
going
to
do
here?
Well
same
if
you
yeah,
if
you
have
this
this
point
here
so
from
there
you're
going
to
measure
the
32,
but
you
don't
have
to
touch
this
like
don't
worry
about
like
because
what
happens?
A
You
know
that's
good,
so
you
can
repeat
the
same
process
there
and
you
got
a
square
house
and
then
at
the
end
you
can
verify
16
and
32,
but
you
should
be
able
to
do
within
a
fraction
of
an
inch
like
a
quarter
and
or
an
eighth
like
pretty
pretty
reliably
actually,
and
this
is
only
16
by
32.
So
it's
not
huge
huge
distances,
but
you
should
be
able
to
do
this.
A
A
You
gotta
work
with
putting
in
stakes
that
don't
move
strings
that
don't
get
tied
up
or
are
tight
enough
or
tape,
measure
that
you
want
to
make
sure
that
your
tape
end
does
not
come
off
the
catch
point
or
whatever,
like
make
sure
you're.
Reading
the
tape
right.
There's
a
few
moving
elements
here
that
if
you
get
any
of
those
wrong
you'll
be
doing
this
like
for
a
long
time
and
get
frustrated
with
it.
So
but
there's
a
good
procedure,
that's
well
defined!
A
A
The
complete
point
of
this
is
human
scale.
They
do
things
like
this.
For
example,
structural
insulated
panels
would
be
somewhat
like
that,
where
we're
doing
the
so-called
diy
structural
insulated
panel,
just
by
adding
the
little
rail
system
to
our
design
and
that
works
works
well,
so
we
only
have
so
many
different
modules.
That's
like
initials
designs
from
2016.,
oh
yeah,
so
that's
expandability,
that
that
was
the
initial
aspen
model
that
we
were
thinking
about.
Okay,
how
do
you
expand
it?
A
Well,
you
can
expand
it
to
whatever
you
want
and
it
could
look
like
whatever
you
want
to
make
it
look
we're
not
doing
the
the
standard
gable,
roofs
flat
roof
is
actually
much
easier.
A
B
About
for
a
solar
panel
designing
for
passive
in
the
necessary
slope
to
get
the
best
from
the
sun.
C
A
That's
like
30
years,
so
we
don't
have
that
here,
but
because
so,
for
example,
if
you
have
this
little
that's
decorative
on
the
roof
there,
that's
that's
definitely,
but
you
can
actually
make
the
panels
angled
if
you
rack
them
on
your
roof
at
a
at
an
angle
and
still
do
it.
We
were
going
to
do
it
actually
flat
in
terms
of
so
epdm
has
like
a
20-year
lifetime
or
so.
A
A
A
No,
the
way
we
do
it
is
because
we
have
500
square
feet,
we're
wrapping
it
around
the
edges
and
and
making
all
the
connections
around
edges
no
punctures
at
all
in
the
top,
including
the
pv
like
after
when
we
install
the
pv
we're
going
to
straddle
a
beam,
probably
metal
or
wood
from
one
side
to
the
other.
The
panels
sit
on
that
we're
not
screwing
into
that.
That's
how
you'll
get
a
roof
that
has
no
problem
for
your
life.
H
A
A
So
you
take
the
roof
and
you
would
have
so
you
add,
attach
a
piece
of
wood
on
the
edge
which
also
binds
your
epdm
and
then
run
a
long
beam.
That's
a
little
bit
more
than
16
feet,
so
you're
screwing
into
the
thing,
that's
actually
right
off
the
edge,
so
you
can
use
metal
angle
or
you
can
use
like
two
by
sixes
or
something
like
that
and
for
specifics
of,
like
structural
engineering,
you
can
run
that
through
the
engineer.
But
another
way
people
do
pv
is
ballast
systems.
A
They
just
put
cinder
blocks
up
there
to
weigh
down
the
pv
mounts.
That's
another
way
to
do
it,
so
here
the
most
effective
way
to
do
it
would
be
to
put
all
the
weight
on
the
on
the
edge
plenty
of
I
mean
the
edge
is
the
strongest
that's
where
the
walls
are
so
the
middle
would
be
the
weakest,
but
yeah
you
can
ballast
it
just
heavy
weight
on
that.
So
that's
good.
What
else?
What
else
we
gotta
do
tool
chains,
man
right
now,
we've
got
this.
That's
actually
that's
sweet
home
3d!
A
G
A
You
pass
information
from
freecad
to
sweet
home
and
back
and
forth.
There's
a
technique.
That's
documented
on
a
wiki
blend,
yeah
free,
cad,
slash,
sweet
home
interoperability.
You
have
to
do
a
few
things,
for
example
the
when
you
export
from
from
the
sweet
home.
It
shows
up
10
times
smaller,
so
that
you
got
a
scale
in
blender,
okay
and
then
you
have
the
obj
files.
They're
meshes.
A
You
can
also
convert
those
into
solids,
there's
another
process
for
that,
so
it's
kind
of
awkward
but
a
good
exporter
like
an
automated
exporter
right
now
you
got
to
do
a
few
things
like
you
gotta
scale
it
get
a
batch
x.
There's
a
process
for
batching.
You
can
take
a
whole
bunch
of
parts
because
the
initial
thought
yeah.
So
you
can
we've
done
this.
So
let's
actually
take
a
look
at
because.
C
A
You
can
you
got
to
do
a
few
steps,
though,
because
the
big
point
is
within
sweet
home.
You
could
either
do
like
this
big
massive,
dumb
object.
Yeah,
that's
you
can
just
export
one
thing,
but
how
about
get
the
individual
parts
2x4
lumber
2x12
with
the
correct
names
imported
into
freecad?
Yes,
you
can
do
that,
there's
a
process
but
involves
going
into
into
blender.
A
A
So
we
got
tool
chains,
that's
like
blender
bim,
like
cross
sections
of
a
building.
You
can.
How
do
you
generate
architecture
documents?
The
best
we
can
do
right
now
is
take
stuff
into
inkscape
or
even
simple
stuff
in
google
docs.
You
can
like,
for
example,
right
now
when
we're
passing
on
our
info
to
the
engineer,
the
structural
engineer,
which
we've
done.
We
give
them
google
doc.
Here's
like
all
that
stuff
that
katrina
generates
those
those
renderings
and
stuff
like
that.
We
just
give
it
to
them,
but
the
way
it
works.
A
Well,
according
to
our
visit
with
a
structural
engineer,
if
we
have
a
freecad
model,
they
don't
know
what
freecad
is,
but
they
know
step
so
he
exported
a
step
file
and
they
can
completely
take
it
from
there
step
step
and
then,
what's
that
mean
you
reduce
your
cost
because
they
don't
have
to
generate
those
drawings
for
you,
you
give
them
the
full
model.
So
your
structural
engineer
cost
will
be
much
lower.
A
Of
course,
go
to
yeah,
it's
called
the
house
design
guide
on
the
wiki,
so
that's
all
in
there
cool
concept
is
having
libraries
of
parts
that
are
iconized
within
freecad.
There's
a
good
thing
we
can
do,
which
is
actually
design
whole
workbenches
within
freecad.
There's
a
way
to
do
that.
We
actually
have
a
thing
called
freecad,
workbenches
platform.
A
Where
you
can
put
drag
and
drop.
You
can
put
the
part
into
freecad.
You
drag
and
drop
it
into
a
working
dock,
so
we
can
program
freecad
if
this
is
in
python
now
to
have
all
the
parts
that
such
that
the
design
is
click
of
a
button.
You
have
to
think
about.
Okay,
what's
this
part,
look
like
you
can
actually
drag
and
drop
the
correct
parts
into
a
working
dock
to
make
a
full
design?
That's
very
useful.
We
don't
have
that
for
the
the
current
material,
but
that's
readily
doable.
A
A
A
What
else
we
got?
We
ended
the
trusses,
that's
that's
our
latest,
but
yeah
yeah.
So
there's
quite
a
bit
of
material
in
there
just
to
finish
up
the
well
that
that
finishes
it.
That's
the
cd
go
home
two
and
three
right
now,
so
we
should
get
to
the
walls.
A
The
walls
are
fully
fully
documented
in
terms
of
what
you
want
to
build
today
in
the
workshop.
So
let's
get
to
that.
We've
got
11
21.
B
Yeah
we've
got
so
and
just
so
everybody
knows
they're
on
post-it
notes.
Everything
that's
been
completed,
that
those
post-it
notes
should
have
a
c
on
them
and
then
oh,
it's
across
yeah
across
yeah.
A
D
Also,
take
the
pen
and
write
in
big
letters,
the
name
of
kind
of
all
that.
A
So
second
story,
so
once
again,
these
are
links
to
each
individual
file,
but
also
they're
already
outlined,
like
this
probably
text
is
too
small,
but
it
does
get
you
if
you
can
read
that
full
cut
list.
So
that's
the
front
and
back
left
corner.
C
A
Don't
know
if
you
necessarily
want
to
go
through.
I
mean
it's
fully
detailed.
So
all
the
details.
What
are
the
conceptual
things
we
have
to
worry
about?
Okay,
say
we
do
the
windows
well,
you're
cutting
the
aperture,
that's
exactly
the
same
as
the
window,
framing
it's
not
like
inside
or
outside,
but
you
got
to
watch
out
for
you
where
your
offset
is.
The
plywood
is
offset,
though
plywood
is
always
offset
to
the
left.
A
A
A
The
number
we
got
yesterday
instead
of
being
10
feet,
which
is
120
we're
going
with
112
right,
is
that
correct,
yeah,
okay
and
the
overhang
on
the
bottom.
We
we
had
one
inch
before
now.
It's
two
inches,
because
now
it's
just
a
little
different
than
before,
apply
always
set
offset
to
the
left,
so
the
male
part
sticks
to
the
right.
A
A
A
Well,
you
don't
have
a
full
four
foot
panel,
so
that
kind
of
explains
why
you're
actually
three
quarters
under
now
that
might
be
complicated.
But
the
point
is
the
the
eight
corners
are
three
quarters
trimmed
on
the
plywood
side
and
beyond
that.
The
adjustment
modules
are
all
one
and
a
half
inch
under,
but
okay,
so
the
big
point,
because
we
we
actually
reduced
the
number
of
dissimilar
modules.
So
katarina
said:
okay,
let's
put
that
adjustment
into
the
corner,
put
everything
in
there,
so
we
have
more
modules
that
are
regular.
A
Therefore,
all
the
adjustment
goes
into
the
corner
module,
so
some
corner
modules
will
be
four
of
them
that
will
be
adjust
that
the
just
ones
as
well
they're,
not
only
a
corner,
they're,
also
an
adjustment,
that's
all
in
the
details.
So
if
you
follow
the
details,
it'll
be
there.
So
maybe
start
with
easier
stuff,
like
the
ones
that
are
not
corners,
which
is
also
the
hidden
door
which
has
got
the
header.
B
A
D
B
Yeah
tablet
with
it
over
here
as
well
and
and
whenever
we're
doing
them,
let's
strategically
do
all
of
the
dissimilar
ones
that
are
grouped
together
so
doors
together,
windows
together
and
the
corners
together.
Just
so,
everybody
is
operating
under
the
standard.
A
A
It's
correct
it's
in
there.
It's
adjustment
is
this
model.
A
That
should
be
good
in.
Let
me
I'll
take
a
look
I'll
see
if
I
see
any
mistakes,
but
it's
relatively
relatively
straightforward,
just
typically
you're
still
building
the
at
least
at
the
point
of
the
outer
frame
yeah.
Just
it's
still
good
for
the
wind,
the
the
pre-framed
door.
That's
a
door
window
window
window
window
headers!
You
got
headers
there,
so
we
need
a
bunch
of
those
two
by
twelves
double
headers,
oh
yeah,
under
the
headers.
A
A
A
A
G
B
And
just
one
more
thing
about
like
safety
and
imagination,
always
don't
do
anything
that
you
think
is
gonna.
Even
if.
B
On
the
imagination,
piece
like
can't,
really
do
a
lot
of
imagination
with
the
building
and
how
it's
built,
but
you
can
do
imagination
on
the
ways
that
we
utilize
the
most
minimum
amount
of
force
to
get
something
done
right.
Ramps,
pulleys,
fulcrums,
you're
right,
but
we
don't
really
want
to
expend
a
lot
of
energy.
B
We
want
to
keep
those
like
small
people
in
mind
so
like
the
ramp
and
just
a
simple
rope
with
two
people
at
the
top,
it
may
work
it
may
not
work,
but
just
keep
your
imagination,
open
and
and
and
sometimes
just
step
back
and
take
a
few
minutes
to
say:
okay,
okay,
not
everybody's
gonna
have
a
tractor.
Not
everybody's
gonna
have
like
the
brute
strength
of
all
of
us.
You
know
great
looking
people,
but
we
can
figure
out
ways
to
really
really
do
it.
This
is
much
much
easier.
We
just
have
to.
B
C
B
Talk
about
it
with
one
another,
because
that's
that's
the
power.
There's
a
lot
of
power,
a
lot
of
brain,
a
lot
of
engineering
and
highly
skilled
people
in
here
that
can
you
know
we
can
come
up
with
systems
that
will
make
I'm
hoping
that
the
platforms-
and
maybe
this
ramping
will
make
everything
easier.
So
it
can
be
done
every
time
right.
We
talked
about,
we
find
the
best
system
and
that
system
could
be
replicated
everywhere
and.
E
H
E
D
I
have
one
little
note,
so
we
were
building
wall
modules
yesterday,
the
first
and
some
of
the
bottom
and
top
smaller
pieces
happen
to
be
like.
I
think
it
was
a
couple
of
them.
That
was
an
eighth
of
an
inch
too
long,
so
just
make
a
measurement
before
you
put
those
on.
Otherwise
it
would
be
too
wide
in
the
base,
if
you're
wearing
the
top,
so
just
quality
control
those
pieces.
C
A
To
reduce
that,
if
we
find
that
oh
this
time,
we
never
really
needed
that,
like
we
were
close
to
1.5
just
about
everywhere,
so
we
might
want
to
reduce
that
gap
for
the
next
time
tabs.
Yes,
so
we've
got
the
same
rail
alignment
system,
so
the
the
base
plate
not
treated
so
now
it
will
actually
go
on.
The
treated
lumber
was
a
little
wider.
So
it's
a
little
troublesome
but
we're
going
to
use
the
same
bottom
plate,
which
is
an
extra
part,
we're
adding
for
the
purpose
of
alignment
and
then
the
top
plate.
A
D
A
E
But
I
think
we
should
take
it
into
account.
E
Like
the
south
part
of
the
house,
yeah
where
the
double
door
is
right,
there's
like
a
small
gap,
you
know
like
we
don't
have
much
space
for
something.
D
B
H
B
H
F
D
A
like
a
cylinder.
