1. Roof before we Waterproofed and Covered it
Sun, 01/18/2009 - 12:16 — thepeacock
The Roof of our Rock House before we Waterproofed it and Covered it with 150 Tons of Rocks. The Rock Ceiling is more than a foot thick, which is Covered with 400 Tons of Dirt, which is Covered with Insulation that is rolled up Inside of Heavy Rubber.

2. 150' Wooden Ramp for Building the Hail-proof Roof

3. Lupe driving the “Slaves”
Sun, 01/18/2009 - 12:16 — thepeacock
This shows Lupe (Lq-paa) with the Whip, driving the “Slaves” up the Ramp with a Wheelbarrow full of Sand. Notice the Rope that is used in order to Pull the Wheelbarrow. We used this same Method in order to move large Rocks, many of which weighed more than 500 pounds, and one of which weighed more than 1000 pounds, which was too large to even use; and therefore, we had to Dump it Off of the Roof, and put it under the Western Wall for a Foundation Stone.

4. Insulation is one foot thick, rolled up in Heavy Rubber
Sun, 01/18/2009 - 12:16 — möpsi-pepsi
The Roof is covered with Insulation that is one foot thick, and rolled up in Heavy Rubber, like Tire Tubes. The Joints are Sealed between the Unrolled Rolls of Rubber, which were 20 feet wide and 60 feet long.

5. Metal Tables and Forms for making 700 Concrete 2'x2'x2" Pavers
Sun, 01/18/2009 - 12:16 — thepeacock
We set up Metal Tables and Forms in order to make these Concrete Blocks or Pavers, which are 2 feet square and 2 inches thick. Moreover, we used 700 such Blocks in order to Cover the Rubber on the Roof.

6. Swangkee Rock Transporter
Sun, 01/18/2009 - 12:16 — thepeacock
This Swangkee Rock Transporter is Designed to Transport 4 2x2x2" Blocks at one Time. The Blocks lie Flat on the Transporter, and therefore the Blocks are not Stressed as they are Moved up the Ramp. However, such a Tool Requires at least 2 People to handle it. This Tool Cost $500, being Custom made according to my Plan. We also use it to Transport Granite Mulching Rocks in the Garden. The Problem with having such Tools is the Fact that you have to have some SPACE for Storing such Tools within a Tool House, which Tools are seldom Used more than once or twice. However, at a Swangkee Fortress, it would be no Problem at all: beCause of having LOTS of Storage Space within Special Swangkee Tool Houses, which are Located throughout the Fortress for Convenience, which would have all Kinds of Unusual Tools, most of which would be Used by a Family once or twice, and then Used by other Families. In other Words, you could Rent such Tools for a Dollar or 2 per Day, Depending on its Cost and how much it is Used and Abused. A Well-made Tool should Endure for many Years; but, there are those Clumsy People and Abusive People who Use Screwdrivers, for Example, as Pry Bars, and Wrenches as Hammers, and Shovels as Spud Bars: beCause of being too Lazy or too Poor to get the Correct Tools for the Jobs that they are doing.

7. A Portion of the Roof Covered with Rubber and Pavers
Sun, 01/18/2009 - 12:16 — thepeacock
A Portion of the Roof is already Covered with Rubber and Pavers. The Rough Rocks are put on Top of the Pavers. This was a Wintertime Project, which stretched into the Springtime. It Required 7 of us 3 Months in order to Finish this Project, alone. It Cost $10,000 or more; but, it is Good for Centuries to come, except for that Rubber, which may have to be Replaced every 30 to 50 Years, Depending on the Acid Rains, Sunlight, etc. However, since the Rubber is Covered Thoroughly by the Pavers and Rocks, there is no Way for the Sunlight to get to the Rubber. And as for Acid Rains, that will Depend on how many more Coal-fired ElecTRICK Plants are Built in China and wherever. In other Words, we, the People, will have to Change our Ways of Living, Worldwide: beCause the Air is Shared by ALL of us. Therefore, whatever China, India, Russia, Europe, or Africa does, it Affects US; but, not nearly so much as what we Do to ourselves with our own Gas-hog Cars, Diesel Trucks, Chain Saws, Lawnmowers, Weed-eaters, Leaf Blowers, Snow Blowers, Roto Tillers, and other Gas-powered Abominations. Moreover, as for Rubberized Roofs, there would be no Need for them at Profitable $wangkee Fortresses: beCause of Using Natural Weatherizing BENTONITE to Cover the Roofs that do not Naturally Shed the Water, as in the Case of a Domehome that Connects to a Barrel-vault, which Drains into Large Cisterns that are Under all of the Buildings. In other Words, the Domed Roof is Plastered and Covered with Dirt that is Mixed with Bentonite, which Sheds the Rainwater into the Surrounding Dirt, which Drains into the Cisterns by Means of Ceramic Drainage Tiles.

8. Roof after it was Covered with Insulation
Sun, 01/18/2009 - 12:16 — thepeacock
This shows most of the Roof after it was Covered with Insulation. The Chimneys are more than 20 feet Tall from their Foundations. They provide Exceptionally Good Draft for the Fireplaces. There are also 6 Vents that are 8 to 10 feet Tall, coming Up from the 120-ton Rock Ceiling. However, being Barrel-vaults, our Apartments do not Vent as well as they should and would if we had DOMES with Skylights / Vents in the Tops of the Domes, which is the Way that we would do it, if we had it all to do over again, and had the Necessary Money, Materials, Tools, Working Soldiers, and Know-how, in Order to do it Right. After all, the Romans had the Help of entire Armies in Order to Build their Domes, and only a few Domes in the entire World are more than 100 feet in diameter, and almost none of those are made with Stone. Therefore, it is no easy Game to Play in Order to do it Right.
