How to build the walls

STEP 1 Dig out a trench where each of the walls will go as decided in community consultation. Lay out a length of pip between where the stoves will go and the bio fuel digester will go. Fill the trench with concrete mixed like it was for the columns. Let the concrete cure for 21 days.

STEP 2 Using the compressed earth bricks made earlier construct each section of wall. Each brick wall is created between the existing columns. Start with a plain stretch of wall, then build wall segments that have hit and miss breeze openings. Finally build the arched entry segment.

STEP 3 Using timber construct a raised deck platform. First placing timber stumps in the ground, then fixing beams between the stumps. Then timber boards or other flat materials can be fixed over the beams to make a deck. After the deck, build a kitchen bench with the gas pipes coming up through it to connect to the stoves. Now the most complex brick element can be built, the bio fuel digester (see next page)

STEP 4 When and if it is desired a concrete slab can be poured. Concrete can be mixed just as it has throughout the project. Skills in timber construction can be used to build the form-work to shape the slab. This is also a perfect opportunity to personalise the building with a custom mosaic floor. Using local shells and chipped ceramic artistic expression can happen on the slab. It can also be another way of delineating space other than walls and level changes.
