Aardskip ontwikkeling in Suid-Afrika (Orania). Doel is die daarstel van 'n inligtings sentrum vir outarkiese en eko huise ook vir minder gegoede. Earthship development in South Africa. Main goal is to create an information centre of eco- and autarkical houses also for the less fortunate.
Ons het terug getrek in tweede kamer - www.aardskip.com - Sneak view of our 2nd bedroom after we moved back.
Ons het terug getrek in die 2e slaap kamer. Die kamer se vloer het ook 'n nuwe olie en politoer laag gekry.
Verder is ons besig om 'n bietjie opknap werk te doen in die 3e kamer voor ons verder gaan met die plafon in die waskamer.
We moved back in to the 2nd bed room. The room's floor also received, a new layer of polish and oil. Furthermore, we will do some renovation work done in the 3rd room before we continue with the ceiling in the laundry room.

Rain rain rain caused rivers 85 mm in less than 24hours - www.aardskip.com - Reën, reën en nogmals reën veroorsaak rivier.
Vandag was dit nag. Na 'n 53mm reën, wat in die nag geval het, het ek 'n bietjie grond verskuiwings gedoen. Die septiese tenk se mangat loop heellaas vol reënwater (agv. syferwater), wat dan mettertyd in die tenk opeindig. Enige raad?
Ek pomp dit leeg maar die water syfer maar net weer in.
Om alles te kroon kom daar 'n tweede storm met hael en wind en een van my tydelik dakplate (slegs vas gehou met 'n paar klippe en buitebande) op die buitekamer vlieg af. Verder is ons buite plant byna verwoes. Agter en regs om die aardskip het die water gestroom asof dit 'n rivier was, byna knieë
diep op plekke, sien foto.
Met ons gaan dit goed, maar ons bure se dak is afgeruk en op gerol soos 'n mens 'n sardienblikke oop maak. Arme mense se meubels is sopnat en afgeskryf en is dakloos.
Today was terrible. After 53 mm rain fell during the night, we had to a little bit of landscaping, to help the water flow.
The septic tank manhole runs full of rain water (seepage), which then eventually end up in the tank, any advice?
I pump it empty but it seeps in again.
To top it all there was a second storm today with hail, 30mm rain and wind. One of my temporary roof sheet (only held with a few stones and tires) of the outside room flew off. Our outside plants are almost destroyed. Behind the earthship and on the eastern side, the water flowed as if it was a
river, in places almost knee deep, see photo.
With us it went very well, however our neighbour's roof was ripped off and rolled up like you will open a sardine can. The poor people's furniture is wet and damaged and they are homelessness.
Piesangboom is nou 2,6m hoog en lees besoekers boodskappe Mei 2014 - www.aardskip.com - Banana tree is nou 2,6m high and read more vistors comments.
In the photo you see our planter with the massif banana tree. On the right you can just about see that the second room window is also done.
Everything takes time, but every day we are closer to completion
In die foto sien julle ons plantebak met die massiewe piesangboom. Die piesangboom is 2,6m en sy grootste blaar is 1600mm lank en 600mm breed. Aan die regterkant jy kan net sien dat die tweede kamer venster en deur ook klaar is.
Alles neem tyd, maar elke dag is ons nader aan voltooiing.

Ekstra isolasie op die plafon - www.aardskip.com - Extra insulation from recycled polystyrene on the ceiling.
Die laaste twee weke het ons hard gewerk om die tweede kamer se plafon, deur en vensters klaar te maak. In die foto sien u die ekstra herwonne polistireen wat ons gebruik vir ekstra isolasie. Die polistireen het ons by die asgate opgetel in stukke gebreek van kleiner as 50mm in deursnee en in sakke geplaas en bo op die plafon geplaas. Die effek van die totale isolasie is geweldig. Sien tabel vir die minimum en maksimum temperature in grade Celsius.
T. is waar slegs die effek van die termiesemassa gemeet is.
I. is waar ook die effek van die plafon met isolasie gemeet is.
Die I. deel van die tabel se data is gemeet vanaf 09-09-2014 en die T. gedeelte die tydperk voor die plafon met isolasie geplaas was in "Kamer 3".
-------- --------- ------- ------- --------- | | Kamer 3 | Gang | Buite | Kamer 2 |
-------- --------- ------- ------- --------- | T. Max | 36.00 | 36.00 | 44.00 | 35.00 |
| T. Min | 5.00 | 5.00 | -6.00 | 6.00 |
-------- --------- ------- ------- --------- | I. Max | 25.00 | 30.00 | 37.00 | 29.00 |
| I. Min | 18.00 | 11.00 | 1.00 | 10.00 |
-------- --------- ------- ------- --------- Uit die tabel is die termiesemassa se effek die duidelikste sigbaar tussen die "Buite" temperatuur en "Kamer 2". Die minimums verskil 12 grade en die maksimums 9 grade, elke keer tot die voordeel van die inwoner. So die termiesemassa effek is so 10,5 grade.
Die effek van die isolasie en plafon is duidelik te sien in die temperature tussen "Kamer 3", "Gang" en "Kamer 2". Hier verskil die minimums 8 grade en die maksimums 5 grade. So die isolasie effek is so 6,5 grade. Ten opsigte van die "Buite" temperature verskil die minimums 17 grade en die maksimums 12 grade. Dus is beide se effek so 14,5 grade.
Intussen gaan dit goed met die voedsel produksie, ons het genoeg Flespampoen ("Butternut"), Tamatie, Spinasie, Boerekool ("Kale"), Basiliekruid, Roosmaryn, Origanum, Pietersielie, Slaaiblare en Wortels. Verder groei die piesang- en avokadobome baie goed.
Die week het die 12mm gereën en is die tenks nou 40% vol. -o0o-------------------------------------
The last two weeks we have worked hard to finish the second room's ceiling, door and windows. In the picture you can see the extra recycled polystyrene that we used for extra insulation. We picked up the polystyrene at the rubbish hole, broken it into smaller than 50mm in diameter pieces and placed it in bags and put the bags on top of the ceiling. The effect of total insulation is great.
See table for min and max temperatures in degrees Celsius.
T. is were we only measured the effect of thermal mass.
I. is were we also measured the effect of the ceilings and insulation.
The I. part of the table's data is measured from 09-09-2014 and the T.part predates the ceiling and insulation installation in "Room 3".
| | Room 3 | Planter | Out | Room 2 |
| T. Max | 36.00 | 36.00 | 44.00 | 35.00 |
| I. Max | 25.00 | 30.00 | 37.00 | 29.00 |
From the table is the effect thermal mass is most visible between the "Out" and "Room 2" temperatures. The minimums vary 12 degrees and maximums 9 degrees, each time to the benefit of the occupants.
The effect of the insulation and ceiling can clearly be seen in the temperatures between "Room 3", "Planter" and "Room 2". The differences are for the minimums 8 degrees and for the maximums 5 degrees. In relation to the "Out" are the temperatures 17 degrees for the minimums and the maximums is 12 degrees.
Meanwhile, goes well with our food production, we have enough Butternuts, Tomatoes, Spinach, Kale, Basil, Rosemary, Oregano, Parsley, Lettuce and Carrots. Further grow the banana and avocado trees very well.
The week it rained 12mm and the tanks now 40% full. We are very thankful.

Die week het ek aan die tweede buite bedding gewerk. Dit is nou 'n bedding waar ons aartappels en ander ondergrondse groente buite kan plant.
Verder het ons gewerk aan die tweede kamer se gang vensters, sien foto.
Die tweede foto is van 'n lekker dis wat ons geëet het uit ons binnenshuisetuin.
Dit het 3mm gereen die week.
Vreemde week in Orania die een oggend om 6:00 was dit 20 grade en twee dae later was dit 1 graad buite en binne was dit 25 grade en 18.
This week I work the second outside bedding. It is the bedding where we will plant underground plants like potatoes.
In addition, we worked on the second room's passage windows, see picture.
The second photo is delicious dish that we ate from our indoor garden.
It rained 3mm this week.
Strange week one morning at 6:00 it was 20 degrees and 2 days later was it 1 degree. Inside it was 25 and 18 degrees.
Kyk na ons plante, wortel deursnee 8cm - www.aardskip.com - What do you think our stalk with 88 tamatoes.
This month is one of the hottest Septembers ever and this is a definite sign of climate change.
In Durban the previous record temperature was 34 degrees C, if the forecasts are correct it will reach a new record of 35 degrees. The other cities in South Africa also have extreme temperatures for September.
Thus far this month we measured maximum of 37 outside and at the same time the inside room temperature was only 25. Today again we measured 34 outside and a mere 24 inside. The lowest that we measured outside was a cold 4 degrees C outside and at the same time the inside was a comfortable 17 degrees C. Do you also want an earthship?
At the moment I am busy installing the second bedroom's windows and door, once this is done I'll finish off the ceiling. Then we will start tackling the kitchen ceiling.
In the meantime the indoor's garden is doing well. My one tomato stalk, that is now going for its second year, has currently 88 tomatoes, see photo. On the other side of the garden is my carrots and one carrot has a diameter of 8cm, see other photo.
Hierdie maand is een van die warmste Septembers ooit en dit is 'n definitiewe teken van klimaatsverandering.
Bv. in Durban was die vorige rekord temperatuur 34 grade C, indien die voorspellings korrek is, sal dit 'n nuwe rekord tempratuur van 35 grade bereik. Die ander stede in Suid-Afrika het ook 'uiterste temperature vir September.
Tot dusver hierdie maand het ons 'n maksimum van 37 buite gemeet en op dieselfde tyd was die kamertemperatuur net 25. Vandag het ons 34 buite gemeet en binne was dit slegs 24. Die laagste wat ons buite gemeet het, was 'n koue 4 grade C buite en op dieselfde tyd was die binnekant is 'n
gemaklike 17 grade C. Wil u ook 'n aardskip hê?
Op die oomblik is ek besig om die tweede slaapkamer se vensters en deure te installeer, sodra dit gedoen is sal ek die plafon klaar maak. Dan sal ons die kombuis plafon aanpak.
In die tussentyd doen ons binnenshuistuin goed. My een tomatoe rank, wat nou gaan vir sy tweede jaar, het tans 88 tamaties, sien foto. Aan die ander kant van die tuin is my wortels en een wortel het 'n deursnee van 8 cm, sien ander foto.
