We are finally nearing the end of cobbing and setting straw bales. I am guessing only 6 more full days required.
Scaffolding in place to get the last 2 rows up. They're even heavier if you are lifting above your head!
So next is plastering and electrical. The plastering requires chopped straw which adds strength. Our old shredder will be called into action again.
We will start at the bathroom because technically once that's done and all in place, we can move in. Now to save for that septic tank.
Keep you posted.
