Volunteer came to help us at the - aardskip.com - is gehelp deur Willem van As.

In die fotos sien julle Willem van As, wie ons kom help het in sy vakansie. Baie dankie Willem.

Ons het aan die ooste kant van die aardskip gewerk. Die strooibale is weer vasgebind en alle gate is toe gestop. Tans is ons besig om die muur te pleister.

Binne kort sal julle geen strooibale in die aardskip sien nie.

Wat dink julle moet ons 'n waarheidsvenster in sit?

-o0o---------

In the picture you see Willem van As who come to help us in his holiday. Thank you Willem.

We worked on the eastern side of the earthship. The bales are tied to the structure and all holes were plugged. Currently we are plastering the wall.

Soon you will not see any straw bales in the earthship.

What do you think, do we need to place a truth window?

vriendelike groete

Free accommodation for volunteers - www.aardskip.com - Gratis verblyf vir vrywilligers.

Dear volunteer,

It is now four years down the line.

Timeline:
======
* 2009 we heard about the earthship concept and the "Sonskip" idea was born.
* 2010 we studied the concept
* 2011 we acquired the best spot
* 2012 we buildt the outer shell
* 2013 we worked on the inside of the earthship

This year we want to finish the earthship.

We have now a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to stay for free (first come first serve basis) in the earthship and help finishing it off.

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

Dit is nou vier jaar verder.

Tydlyn:
=====
* 2009 idee gebore
* 2010 het ons die konsep bestudeer
* 2011 het ons gebruik om die beste plek te verwerf
* 2012 het ons die buitenste dop gebou
* 2013 het ons gebruik om te werk aan die binnekant van die aardskip

Hierdie jaar wil ons die aardskip te voltooi.

Ons het nou 'n wonderlike geleentheid vir vrywilligers om gratis in die aardskip te bly en help te afrond.

vriendelike groete
Ludwig en Retha Everson

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.

Retha het die raam gemaak. Die hele kunswerk is gemaak van teëls wat ons opgetel het by Orania se herwiningsbank.

Here you see a sneak preview of our unfinished bathroom. We had a visitor, Elizabeth, in Orania who volunteer and helped Retha to finish the tiles in the bathroom. She really did a magnificent job. All the tiles was collected from our recycled centre in Orania.

Aardskip.com supports Qala Tala to create earthship RDP housing ... Aardskip-com en Qala Tala projekte werk saam

In the photo you see Thabo Olivier and Ludwig Everson in front of Thabo's RDP showcase.

"If you give a poor, homeless, unemployed person a home. Then you will have a poor unemployed person with a home that he can not afford." Thabo Olivier

With the earthship concept you can also employ him in his own garden, he will not be hungry and he will have free energy and water.

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

Hier sien u die begin van verdere samewerking tussen Qala Tala en die Aardskip projek.

Mens sou byna kan sê 'n verdere samewerking tussen die ANC en Orania, maar so ver sal ek nou nie gaan nie.

Wat wel hier gebeur het, is dat daar beslis 'n kennis oordrag plaas gevind het van die Aardskip Projek in Orania na Qala Tala se se RDP projek in Bloemfontein. Die twee Oostenrykse studente vrywilligers en twee van my beste werkers het al vier gaan werk op Qala Tala se RDP projek.

Jongste vrywilligers, baie dankie vir julle hulp - aardskip.com - Mark en Martin helped while dad installed the solar geyser.

My worker disappeared. He went the previous weekend to Beauford West and never came back.

Luckily we have two very young volunteers that helped me out, thank you Mark and Martin.

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

Hier is die twee outjies wat my so mooi gehelp het terwyl Mark se pa die solar-warmwaterstelsel geinstaleer het.

My getroue werker het soos 'n groot speld verdwyn. Wonder wat het gebeur met ons ou Afrikanervolkie, geen trots meer nie.

Totsien Neil en Patricia en dankie vir almal wat gehelp het. - aardskip-com - Thanks and goodbye to our Austrian students, Neil success with you projects in the Cape and Namibia.

Many thanks to all the people helping with the Earthship.

Special thanks to Patricia and Neil for assisting us for 3 weeks. Hope you learned a lot.

We still have a challenge to get enough 500ml plastic bottles. Some of the council workers assist us to get some bottles, however a lot of possible building/recycled material get buried an burned. Therefore the "Sonskip" earthship is still close to the public.

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

Weereens dankie aan al die mense wat help met die bou van die aardskip.

Verder wil ek net Patricia en Neil baie dankie sê vir alles wat hulle gedoen het. Hier staan hulle voor die mure wat hulle gebou en gepleister het.
