The second day of building the wall has come and passed. With another afternoon hard at it with the wall we found ourselves with a completed wall!
Knowing we had a few materials still required to finish up, Joel managed to locate some Plasterboard, Insulation Foil and Flashing, while Dan got his hands on some Perspex (for the window). For the newly decided upon green roof we decided that the local oval would be able to help us on the day.
PHOTO DIARY:
During the down time between Build day 01 and 02 (approx 1 month) there had been some consistent rainfall some of the bags were that saturated filling new ones was required.
All the bags sitting in a pile that resembles a wall! Window opening left, barbed wire used between the bag to hold them better int place.
With the wall put together, we put the foil onto the frame constructed the last build day. One bracket had been put on the frame before the foil (we realized that it should have gone on after, which is why the second isn't on yet).
After the foil goes on, we cut a dirty big hole in it!.
With the earthbag front face of the wall and the frame ready we put them together with an approximate 100mm gap.
After this point we got a bit carried away and just went and finished up the rest of the wall without any progress photos (there are a few videos). So here are some beauty shots of the finished wall. Perspective.
Front - showing the green roof (which is sitting on perspex and foil) and the fascia. Window below is perspex with some wood from a palette used as the frame.
Side - here you can see the flashing, and how we have used a continuous length of the foil to wrap around to the roof to provide a water seal.
Behind - Showing a section of the wall were we attached some plasterboard to show the intended finished look.
Video: Video's of this Build Day will be posted in a separate post shortly.
The Team and their wall.
