RE: [Strawbale] re re Sask. foundations
Michael,
A comprehensive reply ... :-) I thank you for your time and thought.
++I think you said at the start that rammed tyres were out due to
leaching etc.
I think you may be mistaking me for Mark (Bigland-Pritchard)? A
flattering mistake however.
oops! :-| sorry!
...acidic...rainwater and the tire material... petro chemical
"soup" which then descends into an aquifer ...
I agree with you completely that the use of tyres is a compromise, to one
degree or another, from start to finish.
++I have *never* seen any data on this issue - but I'd like to as I
intuitively feel there has to be outgassing or something from tyres.
The fact that we have never seen any data does not mean it does not
exist?
For sure. I should re-phrase: I have not found any, and I've looked -
believe me.
...heard that earth "ship" owners ... have reported that in high Summer
you can smell them.
'nuff said?
I cant imagine ramming a three bedroomed earth ships worth? ;^)
Yep! =8-0
...railway sleepers (wooden?) and/or old
telelegraph poles in Canada are pretty dangerous things
In the UK. I doubt I'd use them again...they're pretty horrible
things...oils, creosotes and who knows what else.
If we are not perfect then it is a question of the degree of our
imperfection? ...under floor [insulation] ... as good as some man made
products. Its a trade off?
Completely, absolutely, couldn't agree more. The entire project is a
trade-off.
The quarry would have to use a solar powered diamond saw
though?
The diamonds would be mined with solar powered machinery?
The machinery manufactured in solar powered workshops?
Delivered to site with???
Best to you
Donald
