Dome Build

– Positive Failure –

Why??? Why am I calling this first run on our journey to figuring out this material called ”AIRCRETE” a positive failure? Because our first attempt did not produce a useable block. That said, it was positive in the fact that we LEARNED a tremendous amount about the material and what NOT to do next time.

We identified the problems and have a positive attitude toward the next run knowing that this could take us months to figure out our process. I have always been able to keep the BIG PICTURE in sight and that keeps me going.

Mixing of the Aircrete.^^
Poured Aircrete, looked promising.^^
Here is where we knew it failed. It is supposed to ”grow” and need to be screeded…not sink.^^
The next day… 🙁^^

We will continue on another day!
