One the Road in Fairbanks, Progress on Spirit House



Dear Friends,

After a long absence a few words.  Since last posting most of my time has been devoted to working on my Spirit House, a modified super insulated round house incorporating many of the desirable features of a yurt.  It seems this is my summer to get this structure as far along as I am able.

What you see now in the following several photos is progress to date which includes a roofed over deck.  The wall insulation now has 6 layers of 1" foam staggered around the outside.  What remains is a final wall covering.  I am leaning towards using stucco which would definitely make the structure non-portable although it is approaching that now.  It could still be disassembled since it is all put together with screws but at this point is looking less likely.

I now have the first layer of 3" batt fiberglass insulation put between most of the ceiling joists as well as half of the vapor barrier covering same.  Before I can put on the final roof covering I will put  baffling between the ceiling joists to keep fiberglass insulation I will blow in place from sliding down hill.  Following that I can put the final roof covering on which will be either EPDM or TPO both commercial roofing fabrics of rubber or a combination of rubber and plastic respectively.














Next post, hopefully without a long delay will be an insight with photo illustration about the relationship between the native American medicine wheel, Mayan tree of life, Platonic solids and Christian cross.  Until then un abrazo grande!

Peace Rider
