[Cob] Permit Imminent

[Janet Standeford]

Hi,
I just want to share the tension. lol

I believe that I will be receiving a call from Building Dept next week 
to give me the first cob residence approval in Oregon if not a larger area!

My daughter wants to help with the financial end of this so if all goes 
well, the house will be all but finished by next winter.

At the least, the foundation will go in this year and the balance next 
year. If anyone wants to participate, please let me know. There may be a 
lot of digging to do if it turns out the house can be built on the rock 
terrace.

We would need someone skilled in rigging up motor operated pulley 
systems to move all the materials to the terrace, if that is in fact 
where I build. Have to wait for the snow to melt to do the ground 
testing to make sure there is enough dirt there. Just got an additional 
20 inches over the last week!

We also need people skilled with draw knives to prep the logs. Most had 
a stripe for the winter so the bark will come off easier.

If you come, there is no workshop charge, just make sure you can fend 
for yourself. There is a septic system and I haul water.
