I've Always Been Fascinated By Bottle Houses- Their Insulating And Light Refracting Properties..

@atlantic59 You'd need an awful lot of crushed cans! Even uncrushed a 500 ml can is 168 x 66 mm, giving a side profile area of 0.011 sq. m . To make a 2 m high wall around a 4 sq. m. room you need 16 sq. m. of wall. That's 16/0.011 cans. That's 1 443 cans, 721 litres of beer. At my usual consumption rate that would take me about ten years.

If you want to build from scrap you'd be better off collecting unwanted wooden pallets and dismantling them.

@ninalanyon Oh I've been doing that I built a green house and an outhouse out of repatriated pallets and left over windows. I should have clarified that the crushed cans would be used for inside stuff like ceilings and behind the wood stove as reflective tile

@atlantic59 I know I'm old school but I've found that with the clay composition in this are for the mortar I need to use, old bones of past intruders ground up fine, produce just enough calcium to solidify.

@candycane Exactly! Love it!
