I like your idea of making building blocks out of old soda bottles.

I wonder if one could compact plastic bottles into a cinderblock-sized shape and incorporate something like papercrete in the mix to stabilize the finished brick…I think the resulting surfaces would be interesting

What a neat idea, don’t inhale the fumes though. I bet you can make some very interesting conversational pieces. Have you ever reused them re-blown bottles for soaps or oils or any other household uses?

I am looking up everything I can find on bottle houses both Plastic and glass. Can’t find any suggestions for building methods and techniques.Like stacking etc. or how to do corners or join walls. Should I just rely on my early days of playing with Licoln logs. Any links or “How To” input would be appreciated.

If you have access to any concrete you can make it go a very long way by filling the bottles with sand (or just using empty tin cans), putting them in the bottom of a square cardboard milk container and then pouring in the concrete. One guy used this and creek stone filler from the nearby Miami river to make Loveland Castle near Cincinnati, Ohio. http://www.cincinnatiusa.com/Attractions/detail.asp?AttractionID=130

Using empty bottles and cans in the blocks in the upper walls lightened them.

If not, the square milk container should still make a good mold. I’d still rather the bottles held the backfill for some other structural material… I just don’t trust rubbers and plastics over time.

I have a few thoughts: the bottle structure probably has more integrity as a circle, untampered with. heating the bottles may release toxic gasses as well as weakening them. If they remain exposed to air, I think they will eventually degrade to the point where they may crack. How about using them as-is, something like an earthship made of tires? This would require other materials, like cement or adobe and perhaps some rebar, but it would greatly reduce the amount of purchased materials needed.
