Free Housing

Once you build it it lasts forever.

Cheap and easy to build.

New adobe material, and house design:
So I'm excited again about building a house for cheap. I was thinking about making a house out of adobe or clay and then firing it to harden and be water proof but that would require a lot of energy and may not even work but then I hit upon the rubbery adobe idea again that I heard from the project serpo story a long time ago, and put it together and will now try and test a mixture of 2 parts sand 1 part clay and mix in some polyurethane or silicone into the mix instead of water to make it wet and plyable and then when it dries it will be like cement. This way it's not as expensive and ugly and soft and prone to fire as polyurethane foam.

I don't know what to call this material but it would be along the lines of pycrete, or plywood or other recently invented materials.

-----------------------------------------

The main point of all of this is to build a house structure that is water proof, sound proof, fire proof, and the same shape as a bomb shelter, and for even more insulation put more dirt on top. Even adobe kilns are actually defined as being extremely insulated temperature controlled structures, and they're made out of adobe. So adobe is still the best insulator ever discovered.

Because it's so well insulated you will never need to heat it or cool it if the walls are thick enough.

It wouldn't need a door as long as you built the entrance in a way that water didn't get in. But you might want a net to keep bugs out, or use smudging to keep them out.

The structure itself would not have anything built in. This house is just shaped adobe, nothing built in except maybe a skylight and way for breeze to get in. No toilet, no electricity, no lighting, no appliances. These would all be added later as needed.

The house is parted into 4 section with removable walls. One is bathroom, one is kitchen, one is bedroom, one is living room.

Kitchen: Only has a counter and table and food storage, all dried food or fresh.

Bathroom: a small room with a bucket with lid and a seat. The waste is burned or buried.

Bedroom: has bed

Living room: Has seats and entertainment.

Gypsum, Limestone, and Soil

Gypsum when heated to 150 °C becomes calcium sulfate hemihydrate,
Then this material is called "Plaster of Paris", and when mixed with water it reforms into Gypsum.

Limestone(A.K.A. Calcium carbonate)when heated to 825°C becomes calcium oxide(A.K.A. Burnt lime, or Quick lime) this new material is called cement, and when mixed with water and carbon dioxide turns back into calcium carbonate, or limestone.

Soil is composed of Sand, Silt, and Clay. Sand is the largest sized particle contained in soil, Silt is the second largest sized particle contained in soil, and clay is the smallest sized particle contained in soil. Clay and Sand when mixed together with water in a ratio of about 30% clay and 70% sand, and are allowed to dry are now known as the material "Stucco".

When these 3 materials are mixed together along with clay minerals you now have what is call "Portland Cement" which is comprised of ( concrete, mortar, stucco ) and add water this new mix is stronger than the previous individual materials by themselves. But there is a special technique to producing Portland cement, and a special ratio of each component substance.
