The faraday cage stucco mesh

Among several "Earthing"techniques we are incorporating in this home to protect us from the worlds harmful electro magnetic fields, our electrician ken introduced us to the "faraday cage"!

In order to block out E.M.F's ken suggested simply grounding the metal lathe that surrounds the whole house.  The lathe is installed for receiving the layers of stucco but will now serve a dual purpose.

The idea is to create a living space that is completely grounded. Below is an image of how a grounded cage can protect a human from direct electric current or in our case harmful electro magnetics in the atmosphere such a wi fi waves.

There will also be a grounding floor in the house for health purposes to learn more on the benefits of earthing visit the Facebook page Earthing Japan!

Making doors from scratch!

When you walk through a modern home what do you see in comparison to a 100 year old house??  The difference is that most modern homes are an assembly of brand name products.  From windows to doors and plumbing fixtures, most things we find in modern homes are stamped products fresh off an assembly line..  This is fine, the only problem is the originality has been taken away.  In the old days all of these things had to be hand crafted meaning only every door, window staircase etc was ORIGINAL!  We are trying to do our entire rebuild in this manner hence our doors made from scratch and they are also all recycled and donated lumber！！

Straight back to work in 2016!

Today my wife started the rebar work for the south bottle windows and also got a skill saw lesson :) we also went over some basic layout methods tonight we lay bottles!!  Meanwhile I installed some recycled glass windows.

今年の初作業には私はリサイクルガラスの窓作りに奥さんは南向きボトル窓の段取りと丸ノコレッスンに頑張りました^_^
