All it takes is for one to try and make a home between the walls and chew through a cable for there to be a potential huge problem. Edit: Not to mention that the pig trailer could be moved, and that could cause the cables to rub on the wood beams. Sure it would probably take a lot of movement for the cables to get stripped just by rubbing on the beams, but it's another potential risk.

What cheery, bright colors on that trailer house! I'm sorry many of you folks at the camp don't like it. It reminds me of funky Mexican buildings. Some day I'll have buildings that I can paint all different colors. The best I've done so far was when I lived in an old Victorian building in Somerville, Massachusetts (next to Boston), I painted the columns on the porch several different colors like a "painted lady". Sadly, not long after, the landlord hired a company to repaint the house, and they painted over all my delicate decorative colors. But now I've got my own land, and hope to get a lot of different buildings on it at some point, and you bet I'm going to make it super colorful!

This is a good idea! Also separating a few beat up rags from proper "kitchen towels" which you want to keep decently nice, and don't want to get greasy or dirt-filled.

Kitchen towels - cut them into a pattern and quilt them together. If the towels are 100 percent cotton, the leftover bits can be used as insulation or composted. Mending using the Sashiko method is a beautiful alternative which highlights the mend rather than covering it up. Congrats on the new solar. It'll make a huge difference.

It would be wise to consult with an electrician in Portugal before closing up the walls. Having all electricity going through one cable to the panel is a lot of watts for just one cable. The cables will get very hot and possibly burn the plastic and insulation material. Usually there are several circuits per room so every wire only carries a maximum of 10-15 amps AC. If you are using DC, the problem is even worse.

I love the colors! It makes it feel bright and happy. I use colorful totes to container garden in my backyard. It brings in the pollinators and makes me feel happy even on a gloomy day. Love it! Keep up the amazing job you are all doing. I love your videos.

the pig trailer looks now like a giant rubiks cube! i think its very nice, playfull and a feeling of freedom! and even better it's recycled, and I think a lot of people left those colors at the dump yard!

I heavily recommend that they take some UV resistant weatherproof rated silicone sealant around those colorful panels. Or seepage (especially during storm winds) will get in and the untreated wood beneath will mold and rot....

The black wrap under the panels and battens is the waterproof layer, these panels are just a rain shield, you want the space behind to be vented so it can dry

I just love the range of projects, from clearing land, building, mending, electrical, plumbing. All important and all so well done.

Have you considered water turbines that you can use during the winter when the water is flowing through the canals. The turbines can be portable so you can store them during the dry months. You could use one to charge the ecoflow batteries or run multiple turbines in series to run more devices. It will help when the Sun is not fulfilling your needs.

The first thing I thought of was the Partridge Family bus from back in the 70s! 😍

It's a great big piece of bright in the middle of your field. Looks awesome guys, love that it's recycling and it looks very modern, not reclaimed.👍❤

I knew you guys would pull it off and make a decent accommodation. I did not vote for that one or the colour combo but it will serve its purpose and look fun for the aerial footage.

I liked that the vote ended up in favor of the pig trailer, I thought it was a very interesting choice and I truly enjoyed watching you all build it up to this :D But the colour scheme that won is truly horrendous. It hurts my brain to look at it. All blue would have been so much better! But alas, those are the dangers of giving away the choice to the people that don't have to live there :P

Reminds me of the “Partridge Family School Bus” 😊 (1970’s TV show) Great job folks !!!

I love the colorful look!!! It reminds me of the Partridge Family (1970's US Sitcom) bus! Keep up the good work!!

Fabric used to go through downcycling. New fabric would first be made into table cloths or bedsheets or clothing. Then they'd get down cycled into towels, napkins, or quilts. Then kitchen rags or menstrual rags/diapering. And final stop may be rag rugs, stuffing for pillows/beds. If 100% cotton or linen you could use it as a biodegradable weed barrier in the garden or compost it. Maybe you can find a sustainable mill and purchase fabric in a bolt. Would take less time than the repair job shown here.

I think your Patrion followers are having a laugh - saying that you guys really are implementing the decisions they make, beautifully. Keep it going through winter! Pleeeeeeeeeeeesssseese!

Play good afternoon you guys hope you guys have a wonderful day keep up the good work I'm proud of you guys the new solar cell is going to work real good you guys all right God bless you guys and have fun out there and just enjoy

You could paint it white to reduce heat from the sun 😇

For repairing smaller holes in towels (especially if you don't want to use any electricity) you could try darning. Since the towels are woven I think a woven stitch would work well. I darn holes in sweaters and socks with either a woven pattern or a knit pattern all the time. You could also try reinforcing existing patches or weak spots with a running stitch - similar to how sashiko is done. I use this on denim jeans to repair holes or add patches to areas that are wearing thin from friction.

When I first saw the house I did not like it but now love it. It grows on you. The color draws you in and comforts you. I Love that it is recycled.

The wiring is a fire hazard. Part of the reason you put electric cables in (fire retardant or metal) tubes is to prevent electric fires from spreading. Surrounding uncovered cables with recycled fabric is the diametric opposite of running it through conduit so far as fire safety is concerned.

@JPFighter93

Different countries > different safety standards. Maybe the cables themselves are safer than the ones you know? Or its simply not required for buildings of a certain size. 🤷‍♀️ In germany we usually don't use metal tubes too (or at least I didn't notice them in all the buildingsites I visited until now).

So..choosing to ignore the fact they use a petrol combustion engine pickup truck? Film on Asian made electronics, buy hardware, nails, tools and more from the developed (polluting) world. 'sustainability' here is an absolute myth - yes they get some electricity from the sun, but that's about it - the rest is just off the shelf shit bought from the same polluting companies anyone else would buy from.. Oh also half the team seems to fly in and out, chopping and changing every couple months..the irony of these eco warriors is that they think they're doing good for the planet when they are probably doing worse for it than average people in developed western countries.. It's like watching the Amish except way way worse.. and completely in denial about the substance of their mission..

That is insanely funky !!!

It's fun, unique, colorful and will provide a conversation starter for folks for a long time to come. Congrats on being willing to have some fun!

nice rubik's cabin!

I really like the colors 🌈

I really liked the last videos and how there was a constant project (the pigtrailer) and something else. It feels as if we are more in the project with you (if that makes sense).

If you want to repair the towels without a sewing machine, there are a few ways: If you stick with cut-out patches, you can still sew them on by hand. It takes longer, but uses no electricity. You can even pull a few strings out from the to-be-cut towel to use as sewing thread. If you don't have any material to do patches with, you can still use any cotton or linen thread/yarn and weave a patch. Search for sock mending weaving on youtube, and follow the instructions. No matter the size of the hole, the method will be the same. Thats how i learned it! If you grow skilled enough, you can even replicate the color scheme of the towel, because those are typically woven themselves.

Colline is hilarious. She must have so many friends, just like Shrek.

Call that thing "The Candy House" and nobody will be mistaken about which house you're referring to haha! And now you've been there done that so you're ready to move on to better choices in the future. Always something to celebrate, right? :D

I have recently started watching project Kamp videos, everything you are doing here is awesome learning a lot from everyone here in the Kamp, I feel so grateful that I came across this channel 😇 keep sharing

Guys the trailer looks great, what lovely colours, it will make people smile and feel happy. 😃❤️🇬🇧🙏

For repairing textile SASHIKO or BURO is perfect! you also use a patch and then handstitch all over the patch and a little more so it stays more solid. Easiest way to go is - - - (: such an interesting update once more! Keep going!❤

Great work guys ❤, i think I'm addicted to Colin's voice

The Partridge Family, it's cool.

I’m not really a bright color kind of person, but I think it looks cheery and happy! Reminds me of Mexico

I love it! Bright and cheery❤

Kitchen towels - mend the holes as you have done but then sew two towels back to back with the patches in the middle so that they are more protected from fraying or tearing and the whole cloth is made stronger.

It is lovely and happy. So sorry that not everyone loves it. But then I painted my house ‘Fun Yellow’. Yes that was what the Color was called

It is not even that bad -- people are exaggerating. I like it because it highlights the concept of ProjectKamp fostering a community of people from different backgrounds to help create a recycled village.

I absolutely LOVE the way it looks. Just so fun and playful.

those are pretty small sections of HPL panelling so it might be fine, but I'd really recommend you pre-drill and use dome head screws, not countersunk. That allows for the expansion of the panel due to temperature and humidity changes (HPL containing wood fiber, it often warps a little with atmospheric humidity changes).

That walls went out much better than I expected 😮 At first after voting I was really worried. But now it’s just a sign of positive (and maybe a bit… gypsy?) energy! Good job 👍
