This is similar to how its done with CMU in commercial applications in Florida. Use spray foam inside the bottles for insulation and strength.

Might be way to get solar energy from this method too. Make the walls non retaining ~~use for garden walls planters etc~~ Starting to make glass grave markers in Seattle. I think the time is right to rethink this whole idea. Fill them with Water like they do in Australia ~~Retains the heat for night. Might be way to get solar energy from this method too.

These could then be used for Habitat for Humanity homes. Any town (mine is 33,000) could generate thousands of 2 liter bottles a month with ease that now go in the land fill. I never thought about a hole for rebar, though. You perhaps shape the bottom where the neck of the next bottle enters so that pairs of 1/4" rebar could be placed.

Best fill them with sand. I’d like to know what a hurricane (or good breeze) would sound like blowing over all those empty bottles. Best fill them with sand.
