Mud To Walls

The walls of the house and some of the rooms are starting to take shape.
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.

I'm looking to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.

  16. Many celebrities are actually fascinated using the retro looks of due to
    the fact, for instance, Oprah, Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson and Kate Hudson etc.
    If you've got no idea about whether a pair of boots you want are real or not, it really is advisable not to get them. In addition, when you seem at the labels for your manufacturing site, you really should bear in mind that this labels which exhibit "Manufactured in China" are authentic, and a lot of others are counterfeits.
