Message: <blockquote data-quote="J. Alexander" data-source="post: 2402673" data-attributes="member: 28453">CompundThe Compound Michael has in mind will be be surronded by the earthwork as described earlier but he will add to this a 10 wide by 10 foot deep (easier to calculate  cost like that) surronding the permmiter and will use the earth to build the earthwork as well as to raise the level of the ground(build it up). Also i think it will be important for the building to have stone basements and flooring with the extra deep foooting. for some reason, I get the impression that the place is very likely to flood or have problems otherwise. Also it will lend an air of stabiliity and will perhaps draw merchants into warehousing their goods there while awaiting shipment, kinda thinking of a distrubiton warehouse as this island appears to be in an ideal location to service three major island groups. Anyway back to the compound, as this will be a time consuming project but not all that costly thanks to the poor economy in the region, Michael will have french drains put throuout the compound that will drain into the stone filled ditch. It should be noticed that the ditch will drain away from the ocean and towards the interior, so as to prevent any rise in the seawater to flood the compound by backing up the drains. This will serve ideall for keeping the soil drained and stable and allow for less wear and tear on the buildings as the water, as it bubbles up from the watertable or from rain, is drained away for the compound. This should keep the crew busy right up until it is time for the drydock and principal building to be completed. If necessary, Michael will have construted a series of row houses to house his employees/workers if they want to pay rent for it......or he could just include it in part of  the job benefits package and pay a slightly lower wage. OCC:What are the principal building material used here and is there a difference bewteen those used by local folk and humans. On a provisional basis, temp structers can be built using the local's typical materials.</blockquote>
