Where do you get the block to begin with?
Its just called Ytong the type of stone??
Cool. Whats it used for in real life? Ie not for ant nests?
@Gorilla: do you have pictures from you farm when there completely finished ?
didn't find them yet. i mean if your colonie is in it. ;)
Im having lots of trouble finding Ytong material I popped along to a few DIY stores and they had no idea what I was talking about. Is it ever called anything else?
Not that i now of. You can buy it here at Antstore.
Porenbeton, Gasbeton kenne ich noch auf deutsch, aber englisch ... hmmm gute Frage. :-)
freedom, its concrete that - i think - was produced under high pressure while supplying air. hence you get a "spongy" material thats extremely leightweighted, saves a lot of material and has very good isolating characteristics. I wouldnt know the english name for it though, probably the description might help you find out more ?
As Gorilla displayed, it can also be easily carved by any tool more stable then a plastic knife.
