Today, the crew, comprised of myself, DeAngelo Franklin and Eli Scott, completed work on the rough openings for the outlets and switches at the Nauhaus on Talmadge Street in West Asheville. In a few days, forms will be erected and a mix of hemp fibers and lime will be poured. The hempcrete walls, sixteen inches thick, will encase both the electrical boxes and conduit. Unlike with conventional stick frame construction, it will be very difficult to access these boxes once the walls are in place. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the conduit runs are correctly run, that all boxes can be accessed through "home runs" back to the electrical panel.
Photos of the work will be posted shortly.
