It is then plastered with a lime-soil-sand plaster, then pressed, then lime wash.<br />
<br />
The last two nights we have had hard rain, 8cm each time and there is no leaking except one cornor over the wall where i put plain wet mortar.<br />
<br />
This roof i struggled with personally. kind of long story but in the end it is 7cm tiles on end, then another 3 layers of tiles with mud mortar. work on the groins on the first layer and the other layers it doesnt matter so much.MzunguErikihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11798367115574846469noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686729667902889588.post-87112697633158726652017-03-28T00:44:00.000-07:002017-03-29T01:56:53.965-07:00Finished enoughThe pizza oven is done enough. <br />
<br />
Sometimes i would work on the roof in the dark under lights making the masonry roof. I struggled with the timbrel roof (another blog post).<br />
<br />
I rounded the peel before work.<br />

The roof is arches from each cornor done by formwork, then 5cm facing bricks on side, then 3 flat layers on top of that. Then 3-4 cm of clay-lime-sand plaster, then 6 coats of lime wash. <br />

My buddy John Mollel found this idea on line and came to do a test earlier this month. The idea is water runs down to the row of brick tiles sticking out and then drips off from the wall.<br />
<br />
The other idea is it adds decorative effect.<br />

I do strive to consume less and have a smaller foot print.)<br />
<br />
At work we buy fiber cables on spools. the spools are made of wood. Other heavy items are shipped on wood pallets. Before someone uses them as firewood I try to claim them for rough useage.<br />

I don't know what I am doing (what's new) so I was hoping to know more first but time is running out (daughter last year at home).<br />
<br />
I hope to try a few features:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>insulation with old olive oil bottles, Amarula bottles, etc</li>
<li>Some insulation with sawdust in clay</li>
<li>heated up with rocket stove </li>
<li>oven sitting on a groined brick vault</li>
<li>possible a timbrel groined vault over the oven.</li>
<li>Later i will also use for baking pottery.</li>

We shall see how this works. I need to putsomething over this brick roof to keep water from seeming into the brick kiln and to collect the water for making more bricks.</div>

This is clay soil sand and lime plaster, then second day and third day to press it with trowels to make it more impervious and harder. Somewhat like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadelakt">Tadelakt.</a> </div>
<br />
<br />
The question is what will happen when the roof gets very hot from the burning. <br />

It took awhile to finish the vault over the kiln. Part of the reason was we closed down. We got an big order and so have started burning again. <br />
<br />
Dickson and Elia both came and we closed the vault and made the chimney. from the base it is about 6m, and there is about 3m from the opening in the top of the vault. It is massive.<br />
<br />
So last week on Tuesday it was fired up. the first few hours the chimney was not pulling. By noon it was pulling out. The second day it was pulling more. There are lots of leaks in the vault , mostly at vault ends between the end walls and the doors.<br />

I will experiment some with the chimney height, and the opening being bigger and smaller. I also think the cover should be removed during firing.<br />

What it does do is get the steam, smoke, gases, and hot air higher up and less of an issue for neighbors.<br />

I overlapped the rammed sections. Since then I have learned to<b> not overlap and go straight up</b> with no bond. It is going to crack anyway 1/2 the time.<br />

On the short ends we needed a overhang of the walls, and we tried to cantilever the vaults but it didn't work. kept popping off. this wall will get some driving rain but the rammed earth should be able to withstand and dry off between rains.</div>

We dug out all the top soil about 50cm. then i filled with what we call mouram. It is volcanic gravel, very corse. this is vapor barrier. It will not wick water. then a layer of broken bricks for a flat platform for rammed earth. So it doesnt dissappear into the gravel. This is the first try with rammed earth floor and this is the first layer. 10cm of clay/sand and 8% lime.</div>

The roof i was originally was thinking living sod roof. I am worried about the weight and roots going through weak plastic. Then i did a test of rammed earth painted with lime wash. I realise that will not work as it gets wet and dries repeatedly. I think clay is out. Then i thought of just covering the plastic on the roof with mouram light gravel. Simply to protect the plastic from sun. I might try that. I also might try some sod along the bottom.</div>

I want to know about clay to make better<br />
-thin bricks and tiles<br />
-rammed earth walls. Clay is the best binder, the more i know about clay.....<br />
-clay based paints.<br />
-mortars. Roland helped me to understand clay and lime is my friends.<br />
<br />
And why not I think Nashesha (daughter) and I could make some pottery.<br />
<br />
I am trying different methods to get a purer clay.
<br />
<br />
Mixing , settling, mixing, screening, drying..........<br />

Now i dig a 60x60 foundation ditch. Do a rammed earth fill with 5% lime. first 40cm lift of rammed earth has lime and the last 20cm has a pointed "cap" It will be too much maintainence to keep that limewashed so i will put brick cap.<br />
<br />
this section we also made the joints vertical and did not split the bonds. I think this is a better method.<br />
<br />
This is three coats on white parts the dark part is only one coat.<br />

On the two vaults currently in progress we had issues with the individual arches separating . Although this is always an issue, in a whole vault it might happen 1-2 times, but with these it was daily.<br />
<br />
Dickson was getting frustrated on both. build an arch and then it pops out, or seperates several arches back. Always on wet work. <br />
<br />
Steel toed boots and helmets are your friend.<br />
<br />
This was happening on these buildings:<br />
<br />
(1) Kiln Roof, 5.3m (16ft) span . a fairly high arch of 160cm rise<br />

The first vault we did after many arches, better to do as soon as you can add another brick<br />

Another layer laid as stretchers does several things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Ties the first layer while constructing so we dont have an arch popping</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-greatly increases the rigidity of the vault.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- increases the cost</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-increases the building time slightly, although when arches are popping and we are redoing it could be faster.</div>

Purely for looks I would build tile catalan vaults. Tile on the ceiling looks better. The first course is slow and expensive as you are using gypsum to glue each piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This method gets similar rigidity and strength.</div>

So why didn't it happen on this big vault?</div>

I suspect:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-steepness of the vault</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-following each day with a cement plaster on top of the vault.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-slower adding a vault line ( as you have to do one at a time, one each side of the groin vault.</div>

I am embaressed to say I dont know what my soil type is that I use to make clay bricks, rammed earth walls. <br />
<br />
I have been playing around and seperating and have reached this far.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
which means I have clay but not sure about 50%. Is it silt or not so good clay. In the picture above this is after seperattion and long soaking. What is left is clumps that done disolve, however i can really work them and i get a similarly sticky clay.<br />
<br />
<br />
Work in progress.<br />

After building maybe 200m(2) of garden walls we are working on this small garage. some things learned:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-the mixture should be dry as possible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-lime combines better with clay than cement</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-it is possible to do soil-sand. only do first line with lime</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-form work should overlap more on bottom, makes easier to go up straight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-cut pipe for putting bolt thought exactly width of desired form work and pound them out immediately.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-last layer put in lime again for water proofing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-maybe there should not be staggered joints as it will crack through sometimes, at least he crack would follow the joint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-keep checking vertical as you ram</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-after removing form work it takes a day or two to become very hard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-marine board means it will stick a bit, real wood is better, but leaves design.</div>

Corrugated Iron only lasts 8 months due to the wood smoke. cement tiles deteriorated after a few years. Lumber with asphalt felt the felt deteriorates from sun. For ten years i have the asphalt over the wood and replace. that is expensive and am using old greenhouse plastic.<br />
<br />
Now i have another problem. ten years ago we used only wood for burning. For reasons of cost, cutting trees, and variability we experimented ( costly) and ended up putting charcoal dust on every layer. It works very well and is cheap. I still needed some firewood to get it going. Then i found jatropha cake, the "waste" after extracting biofuel. Someone make briquettes and we can throw them into the kiln tunnels, so we decreased firewood again. We also used some jatropha briquettes in the lower layers to help the fire move up to t he charcoal dust.<br />
<br />
It works good. New problem. Jatropha cake has a fair amount of oil left in it and the smoke is not bearable like wood and charcoal dust. Can't work in the drying sheds above the kiln those two-three days when we burn. Neighbor house is complaining.<br />
<br />
Enter the idea to vault the kiln and add a chimney. I have no idea how to size the chimney. What i can find is complicated calculations.<br />
<br />
Front and chimney side of kiln. on left bottom you can see part of one of the six tunnels for lighting fire.<br />

Doors on the sides for loading and unloading. They are bricked up before firing. upper door is for monitoring the progress and also loading / unloading.<br />
<br />
above lower door is chimney. WE will see<br />

Tried new method of layout of the catenary arch. Hung chain and then measured every 20cm and transferred the measurements to end walls.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
One end got about 2m out and then heavy truck caused many vibrations from road and one arch opened up 3mm. if it was closed would not be a problem. <br />
Solution below is to put another layer immediately on top.<br />
