Kuns in die - aardskip.com - have art from Cornelia Holm

NOTE: The pictures left and right are enlarged inserts.

The aardskip has become an ArtShip. An artist from Orania created these two lovely art works for our earthship. These stained glass windows are for the eastern and western entrances to the earthship.

This week we also complete the electricity in the two bedrooms and for the grey-water pump. So for the time being we are done with electrical work. We also worked on the tiles in the kitchen and it is almost done. Soon we will show you the masterpiece.

-o0o----------------------------------------

In die foto sien u twee kunswerke van Cornelia Holm. Die loodglas kunswerke is vir die ooste en weste deure bedoel. Die weste deur se glas is reeds geplaas.

Verder het ons die week gewerk aan die kombuis teëls en ook 'n bottel venster aan die weste ingang. Die kunswerke sal eersdaags aan u bekend gestel word. Die elektrisiteit is ook vir eers voltooi tot in die slaapkamers. Dus is ons nie meer afhanklik van gevaarlike verlengingskoorde
nie.

Honor befell the - aardskip.com - is geplaas op die http://naturalhomes.org/themap.htm kaart - Goto the weblog for more info.

Die plasing van die Sonskip op die Natural Homes kaart is 'n ongelooflike eer, want hulle plaas geen aardskepe / "earthships" nie. Siende dat ons Sonskip van "earthbags" gemaak is en nie buitebande het hulle laat besluit om dit wel te klassifiseer as 'n eko-vriendelike-huis.

-o0o----------------------------------------

A great honour befell us, our earthship the "Sonskip" (Sunship) is listed on the Natural Homes map. Currently no Eartships are mapped on this map, but because our earthship is build with natural building material we are listed. See http://naturalhomes.org/themap.htm?earthbag.

Elektra vorder in - www.aardskip.com - have now electricity from the bathroom to the lounge.

The earthship have now wall plugs and lights in the kitchen, dining room and lounge (living). Plus there is lights in the bathroom, kitchen, dining room and lounge.

We use 1, 2 and 6 watts LED lights. The total wattage of all the lights is only 19 watts. How ever previously we used 3x 25 halogen table lamps temporally and the wattage was close on 100 watts.

If you want to save power get LEDs. They cost more, but will last long enough that you can place them in your will and use a tenth of the power of normal globes.

Further more in the photo you will see another donation by a friend from Holland. The round white ventilation grid that can open and close on the left. Thanks Eric and Magdalene.


-o0o----------------------------------------

In die foto kan u sien dat ons vorder met ons "elektra". Die badkamer, kombuis, eetkamer en sitkamer is nou geëlektrifiseer.

Verder baie dankie aan Eric en Magdaleen wat vir ons van Nederland pragtige ronde ventilasie bedekkings gebring het.
