This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in Natural Building.

For this BB, you will make a wofati and live in it for a winter!

To document completion of the BB, provide proof you have completed the following with pictures or videos (<2 min videos per specified requirement):
  - sleeping space (twin size or larger)
  - rocket wood cook stove (rocket badge)
  - rocket oven (rocket badge)
  - a sink-like place to wash dishes
  - place to store food and related kitchen gear
  - area on top of wofati is fully planted
  - place to sit and eat for four people (from woodworking badges)
  - willow feeder can be a separate structure (willow feeder badge)
  - minimum of 200 square feet interior
  - cob floor
  - one magnificent thing
      o round door
          - well insulated (so, at least 8 inches thick)
          - at least 6 feet in diameter
          - hinge point is outside of the door
          - latch mechanism is in direct center of door
      o taller structure with a magnificent loft space
      o working with art and/or oddly shaped round wood
          - the amount of work is clearly as much (or more) than making a magnificent round door
          - “art” is difficult to measure.  good chance that the evaluator might say “more”
      o 600 square feet
      o double deck
      o 10 foot eave instead of 5 foot eave
      o indoor bathroom
          - shower
          - willow feeder
          - sink
  - must be a door and window on the uphill side, and another door and window on the downhill side
  - mouse tight (mice cannot get in)
  - doors have wood hinges
  - uphill and downhill walls are super insulated
      o straw bale
      o slip straw
      o double wall
      o possibly with one or more bee hives
  - structure must be 100% complete by october 15.   “live in it for a winter” means october 15 to march 20 with being gone for no more than 7 days.  (online daily selfie photo journal including inside and outside temp?)
 
Don't go into the long grass, or the tiny ads will get you.
