VBC- Solar Powered Cat Palace
Drawing and design concept by Mark Lakeman
I am currently in Portland, Oregon at The Village Building Convergence. This year I am teaching cob building and we are building a Cat Palace. It is quite a beautiful structure that is emerging!
When Mark called me a few months ago and said "Would you help me build a 24 solar powered cat palace?" Well, of course I said "Yes!"
Yes, it is true. Full of creativity and kitty amenities. There will be a fan roof at the top and it will be a radial photovoltaic structure for powering the palace's lighting and waterfall systems. There will also be passive solar gain for the "Willie The Cat Memorial Catnip Lounge", as well as numerous other feline amenities such as a skyscape viewing platform and a cave-like cat porch, yet to be named.
The Cat Palace is right around the corner from the
Share-It Square Angel Bench and The 24 Tea Station.
What a wonderful neighborhood!
The above photo is of seedum on the living roof of the neighbor's
cob sauna which I will plaster while I am here.
At this moment....still to be completed- final form removed, finish plaster and details, roofing and more shingles on patio roofs, pv system installed, fishtank, etc.

Such a wonderful update form my most favoritist people and place... so wish I was there, even though I am not a cat person... love the video of Mark and seeing Carmen in the background :)
The sounds are my favorite in this video, the non-human word sounds! They sound like cob!
My cat just let me know she wants one too!

I am the sort of guy who loves to seek fresh stuff. Presently I'm constructing my own photovoltaic panels. I am making it all alone without the assistance of my staff. I'm utilizing the internet as the only path to acheive that. I stumbled upon a truly amazing website that explains how to contruct solar panels and wind generators. The place explains all the steps needed for solar panel construction.
I am not really sure bout how correct the information given there is. If some experts over here who have experience with these works can have a see and give your feedback in the site it would be awesome and I would really treasure it, cause I really like [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com]solar panel construction[/URL].
Thanks for reading this. U people are great.
