It’s been the wettest spring, wettest summer, and perhaps it will even be the wettest fall on record here in Missouri.
Last week we got a whopping nine inches of rainfall, totally separate from anything Hurrican Ike delivered elsewhere. (Thankfully, Ike merely skimmed this part of northeastern Missouri, so we were spared any extra rain.)
It’s really been messing up my building schedule, as I’ve had to delay re-building my reciprocal roof frame. There’s just not much one can do when it’s raining all day and night, and the ground is completely saturated. Thankfully, this week’s forecast is looking solidly sunny thus far…
(Climate change = changing weather patterns? Huh? Who said that?)

Hey!
This is from the Bund- the most popular illustrated newspaper of Shanghai, China (Please check it out: http://www.bundpic.com/). We accidently logged into your website and was mesmerized by what you are doing. We feel interested in reporting the house you built and wonder if you can accept our interview, by email or by phone.
Our newspaper does a lot of report on unique and interesting architectures worldwide, and your DIY cob house is a very good material. We do hope that you can provide us with some large and clear pictures. Please write us back as soon as possible.
Thank you！
