All our bamboo sorted into sizes
First module almost completed!
We added the vertical pieces of the second module and they slotted in perfectly with the bamboo wedges we created. They moved very little which was really fantastic.

Phillipino diagonal lashing. Used to bind the horizontal pieces of the first module's inner structure.
The lashings done on these corners were particularily tricky as it was difficult to get the rope under and over each piece of bamboo. We used Japanese Box lashings for hese bindings.
This was the most exciting part of the day: fitting the floor pieces in! we laid them out to test how strong they
are when we stand on them. They proved to be very strong and not a single one buckled or broke from our weight.
