Since our earthship was burnt down on 25th March, we have all been recovering from the shock and having discussions and thoughts about the future of our earthship project. So many people have invested time, energy and muscle power in building the earthship so far, it would be crazy to let the arsonists win and walk away from it.
On  the other hand, it's still going to be a vulnerable site.
In the midst of all these mixed feelings, a representative from Timber Components, one of our glazing contractors, came along with some great samples of glazing units that will 'bounce' a brick off the glass. Another sample was a mesh covered double glazing unit. He had sourced these for our consideration before the fire and was keen to show us.
Thanks Tom, you cheered us all up that day!
Any actual decision on the future of the earthship will be up to the Community Trust and made after engineering, insurance, security and other financial aspects are completed.
