EEP!

Considering today is the 25th it looks as though I may only barely get the walls finished before it snows. I will be updating with pictures tomorrow night hopefully with where I am.

Besides the fact that it's downpouring outside, I have come up with a technique where I can have three workers make enough cob to go up about 12 inches in one lift. The issue is having workers and myself being around to get it done. Too many unexpected events have really undermined my ability to get this done in a timely manner. I hope I'll have a chance to come by on the weekends during school and get work done.

A quick update



I had taken this photo over a week ago. At the moment I have two anchors of wood in the door and more cob, but I'll have to update later with my setup and how far I've gotten. Expect an update within a week of the progress and how far I expect to get before the summer is up.

Cob actually has gone up, but due to a family emergency and issues primarily out of my control, I probably will not finish. I am considering scrapping the project at this time as in the next year I may not have a chance to complete this. Not sure right now. It's a huge let down to see this go to waste.
