Fun post! I like some of the buildings and the rafts.

@Small Footprints great idea for the solar heater. I’d love to see photos if you have any to post, or links to them. I’ll google for them as well, but I’d love to try them out. I wonder… how about a curtain made from these solar heaters? Since it’s very cold here in NZ at the moment, I’m keen to experiment with this one. Since I don’t drink beer myself I’ll have to scrounge for some cans

What a fun post! Here are another couple of ideas I’ve seen for repurposing aluminum cans:

Creating solar heaters with them (cans were painted black, holes cut for air flow and glued together for solar heaters which sat on a window sill).

Using them for cooking (can was cut in half and then used to cook individual portions over a fire).

Thanks for sharing these ideas and pictures!
