This weekend, I levelled the ground for the Wedgeblock shelter prototype by laying the gravel foundation. The scrap door are forming a straight edge on the lower side for the gravel.

Time spent 5 hrs


Tues Day 2 Almost half the first layer of the floor laid. Its made of scrap composite doors. With another layer on top, this will act as a platforrm for different shelter designs
