9: Gravel

Alright, so my friend Miko came over to help on the project, and we went and picked up a bunch of gravel to cover the rubble with. I chose to get crushed volcanic rock, since its supposedly more insulating than standard gravel, according to this guy: http://www.greenhomebuilding.com/riceland.htm

Incidentally, his project shares a lot of similarity to mine through the foundation, but I'm doing a much different superstructure over the rubble trench/earthbag foundation.

Here's a photo of the load of gravel:



And another one, with Miko this time. He was apparently quite hungry...



Ok, a more normal one of Miko and the gravel:



And finally, one of the gravel in place, ready for the earthbags:
