Uitsig oor buite tuin en kersboom - www.aardskip.com - Room with a view.

Here you can see our outside view. The plants you see, among other things, make use of the water from the septic tank. The bed is above the French drain and the tree roots will eventualy get to the water? In the bed are two Pecan Trees, 12 pumpkins, tomato (already carring), sunflowers and maize.

In the background you can see the 3-meter-high Christmas tree.

In the foreground you see our stained glass window that is intended for the east main-door. What do you see in the stained glass?

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

Hier sien u hoe lyk dit as ons na buite kyk. Die plante wat u sien maak o.a. gebruik van die water van die septiese-tenk. Die bedding is bo op die syfer-drein en bome se wortels sal mettertyd by die water kom? In die bedding is twee pekanbome, opskiet pampoene (met reeds 12 pampoene), opskiet tamaties (dra ook reeds), geplante sonneblomme en mielies.

In die agtergrond sien u die 3 meter hoë kersboom.

In die voorgrond sien u ons rookglas venster wat bestem is vir die ooste-deur. Wat sien u in die rookglas?

Geseënde Kersfees aan al ons ondersteuners - www.aardskip.com - Blessed Christmas to all of our supporters.

This week we spend time on cleaning our original recycle material store, it started to look a bit like a rubbish dump right in front of the earthship. Arno made a couple of crates to store our recycled material. So now our yard looks much better. All unusable stuff we took back to the towns recycle centre.

We also started making a huge Christmas tree, 3 meters high, with some of our recycled wood and hosepipes. Yesterday we bought two strings of 200 LED Christmas lights each. Take note, LED lights!

In the picture you can see the final product. On the left in front of the earthship is the tree, in the centre you see the bathroom's bottle wall with the cross shining. Top centre is the VODACOM tower's spot lights behind the earthship on the hill. On the right is a light net inside the earthship.

We placed more tiles in the bathroom.

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

Hierdie week het ons tyd gespandeer aan die skoonmaak van ons oorspronklike herwonnemateriaal-stoor, dit het 'n bietjie begin lyk soos 'n vullishoop reg voor die aardskip. Arno het 'n paar kratte gemaak om die herwonnemateriaal te stoor. So nou lyk ons werf baie beter. Alle onbruikbaar dinge het ons terug geneem na die dorp se herwinnings-sentrum.

Ons het ook begin om 'n groot Kersboom, 3 meter hoog, met die herwonne hout en tuinslange te maak. Gister het ons twee stringe van 200 LED Kersfees liggies elk gekoop. Let wel, LED ligte!

Op die foto kan julle die finale produk sien. Aan die linkerkant voor die aardskip is die boom, in die middel sien julle die badkamer se bottelmuur met die kruis wat deur skyn. Bo in middel agter die aardskip op die heuwel sien julle die Vodacom-toring se skynwerpers. Aan die regterkant is 'n lignet aan die binnekant van die aardskip.
