Well House process

The Well House previously mentioned is proceeding slowly it seems. Until now, we had narrowed our ideas for the water-catching roof and structural frame down to two, and our section just convened to create one idea. I am one of the three self-assigned to the "block crew." It's our job to create formwork for our concrete blocks that will fill in the frame. We successfully cast our first block:

It may not look/be perfect, but if you line them up in a staggered form, it looks pretty cool.


Here's what it would look like if they were all lined up in the staggered way, which is ultimately what they will be stacked as. The reason this image doesn't make perfect circles is because I had to warp the block a little in order to fit them in a nice pattern, but they are going to make near perfect circles in reality.
