Earthbag House Plans | Small, affordable, sustainable earthbag house plans The Natural Building Companion: A Comprehensive Guide to Integrative Design ... - Jacob Deva Racusin, Ace McArleton - Google Books Camp Treehouse “Even the most modest of projects can become something beautiful. There is no such thing as too far gone. With hope and a hammer, I believe there is always a way.” - Tereasa Surratt Boy do those words ring true in today’s Wandawega post. It’s about the latest addition to David and Tereasa’s magical campsite: a modern, pitched roof treehouse- designed and built by a wonderful bunch of friends. (photo: Bob Coscarelli) The project all started with a big, old elm tree located right in the center of camp. (Photo: David Hernandez) Sadly, Tom passed away a year and a half later, and around that same time, the elm tree contracted Dutch Elm disease. Further investigation into the elm’s condition revealed that even though its branches were dying, its trunk was still very strong. Tereasa and David’s carpenter/furniture-maker friends started by sketching out plans. Tereasa said, “Everyone had a radically different idea, and everyone was thinking 100 times bigger and more elaborate than I was.
Eco Nest 1200 Plan This 1434 sf home was designed specifically for an off grid building site. It's floorplan allows all spaces to be easily heated by the solar gain or by the woodstove at night.

Floor Plan All of Integral Design Studio's strawbale plans incorporate an internal modified post and beam structure, with bales on edge as infill. These plans include all four elevations, scaled floorplans, cross section details, other significant construction details. *In some cases the prints may be on 24"x36" sheets. Coriander oil (cilantro) can be used to treat food poisoning and drug-resistant infections (NaturalNews) Food-borne illness outbreaks and the growing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" are two very serious societal problems for which researchers say they are actively looking for viable solutions. But one such solution found right in nature is coriander oil, which has been found to kill a number of different bacterial strains, as well as aid in digestion and treat the symptoms of food poisoning. Dr. Fernanda Domingues and her colleagues from the University of Beira Interior in Portugal tested the effects of coriander oil, an essential oil extracted from the seeds of the coriander plant, also known as cilantro, on twelve different bacterial strains, including Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella enterica, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the infamous hospital superbug. "The results indicate that coriander oil damages the membrane surrounding the bacterial cell," said Dr. Domingues about how the essential oil works.
PopUp House: une maison passive et 100% recyclable montée en 4 jours Une start-up d’Aix-en-Provence a créé la « maison passive » : Pop-Up House n’est pas chère et recyclable, et se construit en quatre jours seulement. Deux prototypes de cette maison préfabriquée ont été réalisés avec succès et attendent leur commercialisation, prévue début 2015. Vous voyez ce qu’est une tente 2 Seconds de la marque Quechua ? Et bien la Pop-Up House se base quasiment sur le même concept à une différente échelle : réaliser l’ensemble d’un bâtiment (sol, murs, plafond) par assemblage de blocs isolants séparés par des lames de bois. Il vous suffit pour cela de vos bras et d’une perceuse : la maison se monte comme du Lego. Cette maison est passive : elle repose sur un concept de construction très basse consommation, basé sur l’utilisation de l’apport de chaleur « passive » du soleil, sur une très forte isolation, sur l’absence de ponts thermiques, sur une grande étanchéité à l’air ainsi que sur le contrôle de la ventilation. Voici la vidéo du concept :
