I must admit the raising of the cob walls is taking longer than I expected.
Be warned..
Cobbing is a labour intensive process.
The other things is.. it is consuming a lot of my harvested soil.
By the way, I dug a number of holes on my property to harvest the building material, commonly known as soil. The Americans call it dirt.
I dug a few holes namely: a few dams and a swimming pool to harvest my soil.
Now that the walls are starting to look like something, we can't wait to move in.
One of the tricks in building cob walls for a kitchen or similar room where you will need built-in-cupboards, table tops, etc., is to embed a wooden plank into the wall. This allows the cupboards to be anchored to the wall using self tapping screws or nails.
