some photos from Bigung - Borneo

  Mamas Haus...... deep in the Forrest of Borneo

... as the house was before October 2012....

...with clean spring water .... and 5m static head ontop of Stone wood - its the most heavy wood of

the world, its density is approximately the same as water (1g/qqcm), but its structur kills each saw blade...

its one of  the most natural robust resistive material what you can find theire for buildings .... it could stay

50....70 years in the jungle, hardness according Brinell scale ~55...~70 (raw steel has 70...80)

you can imagine to nail without drilling is impossible....

.... Party

WC in the forrest.....

preparation of the main MCB box - (later installed at the ware house together with a generator)

the selfmade bricks are still to soft in order to install everything directly to the wall...

exiting - do it with the most simple available parts, we brought it from Germany and China...

first part is ready to use in December, one room and the open kittchen
