Perfect House Design: Version 2



Perfection is not obtainable, and is only theory, so the goal is to make the "most" perfect life for yourself that is possible based on the laws of physics and the most current technologies available. So the "most" perfect life is the goal. This is only one version of life that one person may look at as the most perfect. Everybody has a different opinion of what their personal utopia would comprise.
The above 2 pictures show what is needed to make an adobe house which works just as well as my previous design of a spray foam house, as long as the adobe was water proofed with liquid vinyl paint or plaster. This is an above ground house that most of the materials for are free, except for the steel reinforcement rods(could use bamboo or other hardwood) and the water proof paint.
This design is also fully compatible with my "An Actual Utopia" post. Also see: "Utopia list" and, New House Design: 3/24/08
In order to get clay to be mixed in with the adobe mixture: Dig a hole in the ground and mix up some dirt with water to make a thick mud. And when the water is completely saturated with dirt, you let the hole totally dry out within a day. And in the end what has settled to the top of the mud pit was the smallest particles in the mud which are called clay. Now skim the clay off the top and mix it with some sand to make adobe.
