Here’s a couple of photos of the 99% complete cob walls. I figure I’ll be able to finish them off tomorrow, perhaps Sunday if it takes a couple more batches than I expect. Reciprocal roof: here we come!
Also, in the top photo you might notice a post near the entryway. This black locust post will bear one of the reciprocal roof rafters, making for a nice little overhang near the entryway. Call it a really small porch, maybe, but this should provide some decent extra coverage from the elements.
Brian,
I visited DR in the summer, and Mark Mazziotti gave my family and I a tour of your lovely little spot (we were on our way to Saskatchewan from Toronto, with a rather substantial to see Mark and Allyson). I can’t wait to see how your reciprocal roof works out. Thanks for keeping us up to date via your blog.
Hi Georgie: Ah, great! Thanks for keeping up!
