Light Straw Clay

Last week before vacation and we're still hard at work. We cut finished and installed interior sills, finishing lentils to be installed later. And after much time and detail from all of us, the bay window posts were completed. A trial run on a previously built template in the evening, and carefully installed by all the next morning. A perfect fit. Much to be proud of and the house is feeling more like a home.






A bit of digging from Timmy for an upcoming dry stack urbanite wall and the beginnings of our light straw clay wall on the north side of the building. A lot of setup but we were able to raise the panels a level a day.











A quick look at the wall from the interior. Notice the beautiful timber framing from last years interns.





We've built scaffolding to help as we move up the wall and a plank to help us transport the light straw clay from the bank. Pretty tight fit at top of the wall

Picking out posts for a shed and a couple of lifts shy of a complete wall finished off the week.








South side of house drying, so we can install lentils.
