Cobbing...

The Cobbers and Cobbettes have been busy this weekend filling all the holes with cobb, which is a brew of render (soil, clay and sand) mixed with loose straw.

Now the first coat of render is almost dry, I've realised it all looks quite ugly...

This wall was riddled with holes,
but now filled with cobb

Look... we missed a bit
in the rubbing process











AC works on the first of 3 holes up high
Nama with her bucket of mixture








Fuzzy scrapes off
splatted render
Yellow string lines being placed around
the perimeter to indicate maximum
depth of render plus 50mm

 












Looking forward to render coat #2 going on this coming Tuesday and Wednesday...
