[Cob] Logs are in decksJanet Standeford janet.standeford at gmail.comThu Aug 5 01:12:58 CDT 2010
Hey hey hey! The logs are up where they will be used to build the cob house! The straw also and covered. Now it's bags and lime, rebar and misc hardware required by my Civil Engineer. What a job that was with 12 to 14 in dia logs up to 15 and 16 feet long and still wet! With those items I can proceed with the cob cistern which I have decided will be one foot thick walls to start with (later can add two feet to help insulate more) 15 feet across and 4 feet high. I'll seal it with anything that will work and is non toxic. If anyone has ideas, I am open. The psi samples are nearly ready for testing. Maybe one or two more weeks in the sun. I still have 3 good cylinder samples from a few months ago that are like concrete and I'll have at least one tested and take one to my Civil Engineer and one to the County. Looks like a go for Spring so far. Janet Standeford OR www.buildingnaturally.info (Owned by you) A resource for healthy homes.
