this Summer : Self-eco-building 25 m² and gardening

Project: ICway

Posted by Isabelle de brabandere almost 12 years ago

For the building technique, we chose "easy and local" : with recuperation wood, earth, rocks and canes from the land. - In summer, we usually work in the mornings (from 7 till 14 h) and spend the rest of the day swimming in the natural basin, take a nap,

Hi

What are you doing this Summer ?

Self-eco-building 25 m², possible or not ?
We think it is with a bit of organisation and a lot of enthousiasm.

As you might knnow, we plan to build different small habitations on our land.
After the first one in 2011, this Summer, we will build the Polyvalent Lodge.
For the building technique, we chose "easy and local" : with recuperation wood, earth, rocks and canes from the land.

If you are tempted to take up the challenge with us, we would like to work with ten or o dozen people (small hands are also welcome, there is always different types of tasks!).

And we are working in the vegetable garden everyday (planting, watering, ...)

First practical details :
- In summer, we usually work in the mornings (from 7 till 14 h) and spend the rest of the day swimming in the natural basin, take a nap, play or listen to music, have a drink, ...)
- For sleeping you have two options as our place is very small: you may either bring your tent (free of course) or stay at one of the hostals in the village (20 euros/pers./night, and our place is +/- 15 min. walking from the village).
- And for the food, sharing meals with us is possible (5 euros/day).

So, if you are interested, book the dates (building from Monday till Friday).
As the number of participants is limited, please let us know as soon as possible if you want to come!

Looking forward to seeing you again or to meeting you at this opportunity or another, we wish you a happy day.

All the best,
Cédric and Isabelle Françoys

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
