Marvin Maberry is making some experimental rocket box-like houses with outer chambers that can be filled with sand. These are based on his successful Belfry Tower II models. We are hoping the 12 pounds of sand in the outer chamber will help stablize temperatures, and we will be field-testing a few of these "sand boxes" across the US. For more details and photos, please go to http://www.maberrybat.com. Marvin will be offering a discount on this model to NABHRP Research Associates.
