Foldup rocket incinerator for apartments.

Second, I think there is a way to get a rocket mass heater into every apartment situation, but each situation will require a fair bit of figuring out.  I've now had a few really long conversations with mud about the idea that somebody in an apartment could have a fold up rocket incinerator - which they run in the winter to get extra heat.  It won't be a perfect solution, but it could be a partial solution.  Something where the exhaust goes out the window - kinda like some of those window mounted pellet heaters.  

Connect passive greenhouse to grey water system from Allerton Abbey.

Build massive roundwood staircase by the showers to replace the current staircase.  Similar in idea to the couch balcony staircase.

Maybe the roundwood track could build a big shade structure on the south side of the classroom.  Vine plants on it and attach a shade sail as needed.  I'm thinking a square that's 30+ feet to a side.  Probably would be a logistics issue with all the event dish stuff.....   But it would really help with summer heat moving forward.
