Very Busy Month
First off it's been a very busy month.
1. The washing machine flooded the house while I was outside. It is now sitting on the back porch and it works just fine out their.. Hmmm new closet space?
2. The pool is giving me fits. I had to get a new vacuum. The motor does not have enough power to run it. I got new filters. Now it works for about 15 minutes then loses power.
3. The boss said get rid of the pigions at the school. So I brought them home. That meant turning the dog kennel into a bird house.
4. When am I supposed to listen to self improvement tapes?
5. Trying to learn EFT if you do not know what it means look it up on the web.
6. Got a new truck
See the pictures to see how my fibercrete block supply is growing.
7. The dogs have a new pasttime. They jump in the sammy and let the wind blow in there faces while I drive around mixing fibercrete. They also enjoy yanking my headset off my head.

The New Mixer
Did you know for instance that the differential must be COMPLETELY filled with heavy weight oil. Good thing I filled it up. The weight lifting machine became the welded part of the frame. Then I added a 1" think piece of plywood for the barrel to sit on. Then crawl inside and screw the barrel to the wood. Tip it upside down and fill the gap with bondo.
The new and much improved mixer
Alt Homebuilding - PaperCrete - Other Things
Well my new mixer is finished. Today I made 4 batches. I now have over 75 blocks. It will still take awhile to get enough blocks to start building. I need to open my cadd program and add the extension on the house then let that program calculate the number of blocks that I will need. Right now I have blocks that are 3' long 12" wide and 6" deep. I also have 2'x1'x6 and a couple that are 6'x12'x6. I have also finally figured out how to build a slip form ( yep the one I have is built wrong) live and learn I guess. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow. But you know as long as the sun is shining I will be outside making blocks. OH, I almost forgot. I made the drain hole 10" on the mixer. That little 4" hole was the pits.
