blueprints | floor 3 Basically we have 3 directions to discuss : above, inside and outside of the “plywood”, tego. 1) On the outside. Really hard to guess : ferrocrete. 🙂 What else. 2 options regarded to workmanship : 1a) outside panels Ferrocrete poured on the ground … as a panel.…

blueprints | floor 1 Now we will discuss the floor. That will take a bit. Not because it’s complicated but because it’s way different compared to what we used to see. In case it seems overwhelming, it’s normal. It’s not your fault. My biggest problem … I wanted to solve the electric cables…
blueprints | walls & windows We need a structure for the inner walls and outer walls as well. Instead of making 2 structures (or choosing a thick brick wall) that insulates nothing our approach is different. Tego / plywood tightened with screws to our metal columns. Check it out on the drawing below. If…

blueprints | roof membrane As crazy it can be : most cases I would go with a fireproof membrane. It’s guaranteed for 8-10 years bare minimum and it costs slightly more than a pond liner. Extremely flexible and strong. These membranes are way safer. Normal roofing: be it metal sheets, ceramics or Canadian…
blueprints | roof beams When a picture tells 1000 words. The images are self-explanatory. We use screws or welding to hold them together. Preferably screws as explained in previous sections.

So we are running the circles 🙂 We don’t need foundations here or its symbolical. Like literally. However I force myself to draw a foundation. Like asking about childhood dreams on…
blueprints | welding vs screws? Credits to my father here. Basically I re-engineered the whole house because of it. He nailed it thinking about this idea. Let’s see the benefits. Welding or using screws? We really like the idea of using screws because you don’t need a team on site that has all…
