Cob Workshop - August 25, 2006

Visit the archive for more...

Saturday we had an injection of fresh energy - Weston, Peter, Allison, Sandra and Nova all came out for the day bringing their biceps and good vibes - making our total crew 12 humans and 2 canines.

Weston rocks out.
 
Image
Sandra fetches sand for another mix.
 
Image
The building site was abuzz with activity.
 
Image
Another mix is made - the wall keeps growing.
 
Image
Happy feet.
 
Image
Happy cobbers.
 
Image
More happy cobbers.
 
Image
Jim and Scott strategize as cob burritos are made.
 
Image
Pete summons his steely PEZ-powered strength.
 
Image
Weston and rock do a happy dance.
 
Image
Nova inspects the progress (languidly), and contemplates a cob doghouse.
 
Image
Allison and Sandra try something different - mixing cob with their hands - flashbacks to early years in sandbox ensue.
 
Image
Jim works on the south-west corner.
 
Image
Another row of bottles. These will allow natural light to pass through the wall.
 
Image
These bottles will make a cool wave pattern in the finished wall.
 
Image
Progress on the north-east corner.
 
Image
At the end of the day we have a second door frame, two new foundations, and a much higher wall. Way to go team!
 
We are now about half-way through the workshop, and we've already seen an awesome amount of progress.  Stay tuned for more!
