I live!
I'm fine!
got over my illness and strange Busch'm back healthy and perfectly round!
Over seven months, there are now that we are on the edge of the rainforest . Live It's still exciting. Meanwhile, we have a private well, a small cottage garden, a new banana plantation and a small bamboo shed.
The bamboo shed should serve as a workshop. He will be, but it looks like in our house include planting plans. It took a while until we had established the basic stand of bamboo. It took even longer to recover between the bamboo poles walls. Our soil is unfortunately quite loam. After several tests I've given up the idea of mud walls dehsalb. Instead, we have tried a kind of concrete wall with Bambusarmierung. Here, the bamboo is split and the resulting bamboo boards are nailed to a wooden frame. Because the inside of the bamboo for beetles and termites is quite a treat, we have this verbrähmt with fire, burning the starch. The smooth side of the bamboo has also given a kind Teeranstrich to which we have thrown sand so that the concrete it also holds.
There was a lot of whiners and armchair generals who have all assured me that this is a failure. Nights I have spent to study my notes and bamboo books. And then I just passed a try. And it worked. The walls have become great. Once we have them plastered yet, they look like brick walls and at least as strong. Suddenly
say all whiners, know-alls and skeptics: "works clear the way - and imagine, in such a house you can live even ..."
Two walls are finished first. But now we will take a break. A pause in which we need to harvest bamboo. An acquaintance, about 12 km further, has a small bamboo grove with travel bamboo (Dendrocalamus giganteus), 30 - 40 meters high, diameter of the rods 20 - 30 centimeters. Now in the winter is the best cutting time .. because it finally stops raining will we get started. The large bamboo poles are used to us then as columns. Smaller bamboo rods has already promised us another friend. After the harvest, then comes the treatment and drying and then Sawing and preparing for the construction and then will begin as early as the summer home here again .... Until then, I hope, however, that I will once again come to the Lan-House. Until then, I hofffe also that the Environment Agency we will finally approve the power supply. Until then I will hopefully have a camera again to show you images (my Digi has unfortunately given up their mind and I just do not mind me to purchase another ...)
Do not give up, looking from time to purely in my blog. I will try once more come to the Net!
