I framed a door
We got this cool door on Facebook marketplace. It has a rounded top, so I had to build an arch for the frame. Started off by making a rectangle, right where the arch starts, then once that part of the frame was in place, I could cut the top of the rectangle and put in the arch, if that makes sense. Chiseled some slots for the hinges. I still need to make a round window for the door, probably I will cut some acrylic or plexiglass.

I like the crystal bottles you used too, beautiful. Did you cover the top of the bottle? looks like the stoppers are a little above or is it inside the bottle? just curious if condensation is an issue, I'd like to use some fancy bottles too :)

You built the top of the door?! Cool design!
I made a floor
I decided to put in wood flooring. Here are some pictures of framing the floor, filled in the gaps with hay. I have a bunch of wood flooring, a friend gave me, that will cover about half of the floor, then I’ll get some more at the resource center, lots of people get rid of used leftover flooring. The panels are not always the same color, but that can look pretty cool as well.

Great visual, thanks!
Cobbin update
Hi everybody, Here’s an update with my cobbin, almost complete with the first cob layer. I got a bunch of cheap windows on Facebook marketplace, one of them is a window from a school bus, for the driver, which slides open. It’s very hard to find smaller windows that slide open, so check school buses as well if you’re sourcing windows. The outside is almost complete with the cob plaster, just a couple of window holes that I’ll probably fill in with some glass bottles. Soon I’ll be on to the lime plaster.

@Sir Cobalot I agree even though we can't always make the calls it's nice that they are available. We've been surrounded by wildfires so haven't been able to make the calls. Definitely giving me more of a push to get some lovely clay protection on my house! I will be looking for some guidance soon 😉 I'm also really enjoying just seeing your updates too of what you're working on. Hopefully be able to make the calls more often soon!
