I was checking out 8 ghost towns in the US. Tge last one was the most fascinating. Its in
Rhyolite, NV. I Googled for more photos which led me to your site. VERY, very cool. :-) Not
only did I have fun seeing allk the ghost towns but digging deeper led me to some amazing
uses of recycled bottles. So nicethat the creative, artsy, architectural part works so
beautifully with GREEN!! :-)

Fantastic post, I am going to share. Some very lovely ideas.
Open Bottles
Reply #53 on : Sat August 04, 2012, 14:02:36
I would think if you have open bottles, you could always just recap them, a capper is cheap
~$20 and caps are really cheap like 100 for $1
LOVE the recycled glass

Wow, Liking the idea of wrapping the bottles in metal flashing! There is an image on the
Recycled glass bottles post under Art that shows two bottles combined. I'll add the picture to
this post as well. Hope you get to build your wall one day!
making bottle walls
Reply #50 on : Thu June 28, 2012, 12:18:05
I saw a beautiful use of bottles in a wall on one of those home improvement shows. The
people put glass jars on the bottle opening end, then wrapped the whole thing in metal
sheeting/flashing before casting in cement. They claimed the metal reflected more light into
the house, and adding the jars on the other end eliminated the open ends and gave it a
neater look. I've thought about cutting bottles in half and using the lower halves and/or jars,
so both sides of a wall would show the bottoms, which I think are more atteractive.
The Amazing Oil Bottle House at Disney's California Adventure
Reply #49 on : Tue June 19, 2012, 16:58:25
Have any of you seen or heard about the new Amazing Oil Bottle House at Disney's California
Adventure? It is in the queue for the new Cars Land ride Radiator Springs Racers, and this is
the first time I had ever seen one of these before. It was so beautiful, I started doing
research and happened upon this page. So glad to know there are ideas and instructions out
there so we can maybe try a small-scale wall at our home!
Check out pictures here of the Disney queue here:

I would think if the bottles are mostly submerged in the mud/cement, there would still be
plenty of bottle to grip, so no need to remove the labels.
But, looking at all the pictures above, I see not one label in any of the houses built with
bottles! For aesthetic reasons I would remove them. (Soaking in tubs of water?) But if they
are going to be submerged in cement, I would not go through all that effort. If I find out
anymore I'll keep you posted. Thanks for writing.
As to mosquitoes - I am against all nasty chemicals, and keeping a whole building saturated
with essential oils sound expensive. I am stumped!
Labels - To remove or not remove?
Reply #47 on : Fr i June 08, 2012, 12:36:33
I am wondering when building a glass bottle wall with concrete and bottles will not be seen, is
it necessary to remove the labels? I am building a retaining wall so the wall will be subject to
some water seepage. Labels, I would think, would impede the gluing process of the mortar -
what do you think? Remove the labels from the 3000 bottles or not necessary?
Mosquitoes in bottle walls?
Reply #46 on : Mon May 28, 2012, 11:02:18
Hi, I have read that some people leave the bottle tops open on outdoor walls. If you do that,
is there a way to stop the moquitoes from breeding inside the bottles?

We did test panels and set them out on the deck over winter in NW PA, to see if they would
freeze and break, and how much mortar was needed. This year we plan to build our dream
wall, in a mosaic of water and sky and palm tree, with the necks facing out. I saw a wall a
long time ago, with morning glories growing around the exposed necks, and it was fabulous.
Thanks for the inspiration.

I really love how the glass looks in all of the things made, I can see this in so many of my
ideas for the home I would love to help build with my boyfriend. The colors and the way it can
help heat up places, very beautiful. All those bottles we have in drinks and other can be
turned into art in the yard. Makes me want to plan many garden spots!

Hi there Amy,
Thanks for writing. There is a wiki page on glass bottle walls with a bit of instruction.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottle_wall
I have yet to make one - or to have worked with cement ever! So, I am sorry to say I am
lacking in knowledge to give any advice! Do hope you get to build your wall and it turns out
great though!

Reply #17 on : Tue March 01, 2011, 08:26:37
Hi Patie,
I think it depends on the purpose of the wall...is insulation important where you are...or do
you merely desire an aesthetic wall? If you are going to leave the bottles empty inside then I
do not know if the bottles can support much weight above. Will the jar tops be exposed to the
elements where they can rust? The architect Michael Reynolds has written 2 volumes of
"Earthship: How to Build Your Own" he covers glass walls. Also look at
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottle_wall and
www.naturalbuild.wordpress.com/2010/05/11/building-an-earthship/
Have fun!

Absolutly loved all of the bottle-wall examples....Is there a how to build a bottle wall book or
instructions available. What bottle position is best for clean insulating?! If jars are used,
(jelly, peanut-butter) should the caps be put on or left open. How does this effect the
strength?
Thank you, Patie

HOW DO THEY CONSTRUCT THESE WALLS? DO THEY POOR THE CEMENT AROUND THE
