Title: the homestead - a video featuring cob and wood
Post by: paul wheaton on February 13, 2010, 03:28:20 PM
Hot off the press!

This video is a response to three different requests from people:

1)  "I didn't see how the roof was built in the rumford video" - this video has footage immediately after that, the structure is similar and there is a lot more of looking at it.

2)  I have a lot of cedar, what might I make of it?  There are at least three amazing things in this video to answer that. 

3)  "I would have liked to have seen a lot more of that ecovillage."

Have fun!

Thanks Paul. 

Interesting stuff as usual.  Now Poppy can see what he can do with his tree stump.

Personally I didn't think that your video was that crappy.  :)

Even people who are poor as dirt should be able to figure out how to have shelter from that.

Well I guess I have to admit that I reviewed this video and saw the chair carved out of the stump.  Nice work there, but I don't have the talent or patience for that kind of stuff.

The future for my stump is a little crapper.  [toilet]

A friend in Utah uses a chainsaw and a torch to make some pretty intricate carvings from wood.  I don't believe he ever carved a crapper though. [ouch]
