Construction Halts for Birth
We've been busily filling in the bales with cob and light-clay but had to take a break for the dove who has nested at the top of the wall.
As you can see by the photo, there is quite a bit of room between the top of the bales and the roof plate on this end (west). This is all to be filled with light-clay.
The rest of the pictures show the filling we've done. I probably didn't need to do that much in some places but I get carried away and it will just make it easier to plaster.
Same corner after light clay.............................................and before light clay.
The dove nest is to the left of the small window on top of the bales.
Greetings from your Canadian counterpart, Judy (we kind of are like true counterparts, since we're almost at the same stage of building our homes, but in different countries/climates)
ReplyDeleteI'm so envious that you're heading down to hang with the Steens this month. I've been following their work for a while now and would love to have a chance to learn from them first hand. Some day!
It's exciting to see the cobbing underway...
