Build Yourself, Build Your World.......

.........here we go!

Did you ever want to build your own home – but did not know where to start, or not even think it was possible? In this hands-on workshop – we show you how to do it – from the dirt beneath your feet – using our open source Compressed Earth Block (CEB) press. Here is your chance – as a voluntourism and edutourism opportunity in Belize, Central America. We are using our open source Compressed Earth Block press to do an Extreme Build of a 144 square foot CEB Microhouse – in 5 days.
Open Source Ecology (OSE) is doing the first ever house build outside of the USA. We have done a number of builds at our headquarters in Missouri, and we are taking an opportunity to do a service project abroad. One of our collaborators from Belize has built the OSE CEB press – and we decided to build a house for a community member in need in Copper Bank – a fisherman’s village in northern Belize. This is a unique opportunity to learn about appropriate technology, to expand your horizons in a different culture, to eat local food, to learn about ecological construction – and to contribute to a worthwhile effort. Residents from Copper Bank are invited to the build – and together with the international community that descends onto Copper Bank (that's us!!)– we are all in it together for an immersion experience in CEB construction.

Day 4 the pace is starting to tell...

Today we rose at 6 a.m. as usual but there was a significantly less  amount of energy in our rising end MAC who had been coughing during the night definitely did not feel that good. We went to breakfast but there was a general feeling that everyone was feeling the pace of the heat and the workload. I felt really tired and drained. Nevertheless we proceeded to the site where the preparation for the application of stucco was well under way. We fixed a few small areas of the chicken wire which needed to be bedded against the bricks and then the stucco work started. This is back-breaking work and consists of filling a square board of wood on a short handle called a ‘hawk’ with stucco mixture which is the consistency of a thick gravy and then placing the hawk up to the wall and scraping off the stucco onto the wall with a ‘float’ or rectangular flat metal applicator and them smoothing it out over as much area as possible. This is not at all easy especially as the wall is rough ...

Day 5 the final push, the spirit is willing but...

We were up at 6 a.m. as usual after a fitful night’s sleep. MAC has developed a persistent cough and this disturbed both of us. Soon we were at breakfast and when MAC became vertical, her cough was better. We set off for the build site at about 8.30 a.m. and soon were preparing for a brick makingg demonstration. We needed gravel for this and had to use the hand crusher machine to fill up a wheel barrow with gravel, This contraption which is straight out of Rube Goldberg is put together from parts from an old Coca Cola bottling plant. By pushing a handle up and down, a large disc crushes the rocks into small gravel. It is sometimes necessary to put the residue through the crusher twice in order to get the correct grade of gravel for brick making. When the gravel was prepared we retired to where the brick making machine was and the gravel was mixed with sand and water to make a suitable consistency of mix. Aiden demonstrated how this consistency could be assessed by scrunching the...
