fennor should i make a list of things i want and you can find the complement?08:41
fennand are we really last in the lineup?08:41
kanzurethere's a diybio talk too so i don't know if that's game for me08:43
kanzurei definitely want one of us to do a demo08:43
kanzure(whatever that means)08:43
kanzurei'll get a list i guess08:43
fennfwiw i think the talk should be more about the generic concepts and less about our specific implementation, or it will come across as a sales pitch08:47

any54251606ybit, it's an abbreviated house, conservation of surface area, but reflecting heat doesn';t work worth a pee if the air is moving, which it almost always is20:04
any54251606i think it's benefits are it's airtight right at the insulation surface,and the foam is closed cell, more than anything else20:11
any54251606you can get sheets of osb done the same way, altho osb itslef isn't airtight; they put two sheets of osb in the form, and shoot expanding foam tween them, you get heavier structural 3 to 6 inch thick sections of that foamboard20:13
ybitthat's what vinay suggested i build the hexayurt out of20:13
any54251606paint the osb, seal the stuff with the paint, and it's entirely a scaled up version of that 20:13
ybitthere are already these types of hexayurts20:14
any54251606ok, but anyone can put anew door into your space by cutting the tape20:14
any54251606you going for cheap? or durable?20:14

genehackerwhoa20:45
genehackerI stay off of IRC for one day and miss a whole bunch?20:45
drazakybit: psh20:46
drazakybit: there's going to be like, everyone that normally comes in20:46
ybithttp://openfarmtech.org/weblog/?p=527 :: CEB, Hexacube, and Hexayurt: Side by Side20:48
ybitgenehacker: what'd you miss?20:48
genehackergot some emails from fenn and kanzure20:48
genehackerfenn, so you have something that can hover, now how do you land it and control which direction it's going it?20:49
genehackeralso let's not forget about what would happen if the package was loosely secured in something spinning like that20:51
genehackerit'd wobble like crazy20:52
genehackerit's a cool design though20:56
genehackerreminds me of this:20:56
any54251606ybit, how much floor area can you cover with a hexayurt, with 4ft tall walls, using 7 sheets of 4x8 plywood/osb ?21:08
genehackerdang can't find it21:10
any54251606ybit, for a square: 4 sheets to make the walls, 2 to make a roof, 1 to raise the roof 2ft on one edge and make it slope21:12
any54251606(the rest of the 2ft x8ft piece is made into two wedges to fill in undr the sloping sides of the roof)21:12
any54251606so with 2 cuts, you get a 8x8 with a peak ceiling of 6ft, with 7sheets, which you can layer up 4x8 insulation against inside, and only one oddball multi-angled cut is needed, and it's only one cut off 90degrees21:14
any54251606a hexayurt with 4x4 wall panels has many odd lumber cuts, has a floor space of 41sqft (vs 64 for the 4sided box)21:16
any54251606if you want more room, make a round house, big enough diam that you don't need to cut the exterior sheathing, just bend around and screw into place, subdivide as needed21:19
any54251606last thing you need, trust me, is a comforter/blanket falling off the bed at night against a hot wood heater21:19
any54251606put the wood burner in the other room21:20
genehackerah here it is21:23
