I'm researching composting toilet systems for indoor use, so the more information on that, the better. I will certainly checkout the "Water Biofilters and Composting Toilet Systems with Tim Barker - Presentation" first. And hopefully, the ideal composting toilet system for my particular situation will be clear soon!

Picasaweb doesn't exist anymore, is there a Google Photos link to this album, that could be added to this thread?

these folks are firing bricks. mass producing rocket stove cores from the look of it. sweet ones. but it's the kiln that holds my attention.
bigger core, sure
they complained of a hotter back and top, some of that is dampering, stacking, and some is first firing. a kiln needs a while to settle in and the fire lighter needs to learn the kilns language. I'll bet they fire sweet and even now.
i'm curious if they ever fire regular glaze ware in it.
I can't seem to find a way to contact the Jon who's photo link it is except commenting on the pictures

I also wonder about moving the rockets further away from the chimney (towards the door)

Wonderful idea, it also prevents dust and debris from scratching them. I always seem to end with scratched safety glasses, because I don't put them away properly after use, I let them sit anywhere without a case or protection... Or, that's what I think is the reason for ending up with so many scratched glasses. Which are then becoming less useable for jobs needing a very clear view, which is for me, almost necessary for every job...

"You can find Ben's complete wood gassifier set HERE”
(Just above the link with the download of the Solar Station pdf file)

But neither the picture underneath it, nor any word in the phrase is a hyperlink.
I only find link to the pdf "bible", not to the set which contains more than just the book...

A few people send me amazon gift cards.  Again, you need this:  paul at richsoi.com

I know that a big part of the world does bank transfer stuff.  But my bank wants a fat transaction fee for every transfer.  Something like $25 to $50.  So I'm not a big fan.  

I long time ago I tried zelle - that was a pain in the ass.

What else?




Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is it really at richsoi , without the L from SOIL?

I'm from Belgium and also do not have a credit card. Can I make a bank-transfer to a bank account number? I would love to support but do not know how to get my money to you.

Please help!

Edit: I found a solution... I asked my father to do the payment with his credit card, so that I can pay it back to him with a bank transfer which is free here. He sent me an email that it was done. I'm so happy that it succeeded so I could finally give something substantial back for the huge amount of knowledge I found here at permies! Not having a credit card is often an issue when wanting to support great people/projects/ideas/things/... online.
