  @treblerebel I believe I will be indeed building (when I find property) in Yavapai county in Arizona. I am about to connect with a concrete engineer and get his help in running this thru the county. I have built the foam generator and forms and have already begun making 12x12x6 blocks. When I get some solid feed back regarding county info I will post the results. I am also looking around at the interest in this area and seeing if a joint effort for hosting a Domegaia workshop could happen in the area. Thanks, Greg

  @HandyDan said in tutorial video for little dragon construction: @upwinger Ubuntu is also a movement, not just an flavor of operating system. Opens course does work. However, in something like business it requires an aggressive effort and the highest of quality in your product or service to be prosperous. Control, exclusion, and laws have been the only way public companies can actually stay alive and be prosperous. The old paradigm does not die easy. I mean who doesn't like easy profit? Ubuntu Thanks for sharing the very good youtube video explaining Ubuntu. I knew this, but I hadn't seen these videos. It's so difficult to stay positive when you are enslaved! This forum and Domegaia are perfect examples of Contributionism... Lets make our Eutopia! My middle name isn't Eugene for nothin! I wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for me accidentally stumbling upon Haijar's TedTalk while surfing the TedTalk library!

  I'm working on a design for a low cost, portable structure that will be highly energy efficient. I think the properties of aircrete might be suitable for this project. I like the look of stained concrete and it's generally a durable, cheap option for slab houses. My question is, this will be a type of pier and beam construction, will exposed aircrete be suitable for foot traffic? Will it take a stain and sealant? It'll be approximately 144 square feet, I'm thinking about a 6" thick aircrete slab. Another consideration might be to pour 4 to 5" of aircrete, then put a 2" top coat of the appropriate concrete mixture that would be suitable at that thickness, which would also allow me to inlay some tubing for radiant floor heating. I am unsure how effective it would be laid in aircrete due to its insulation properties. Any thoughts?
