Here are some photos to preview for the case study on the Florida Cob Cottage build we finished a few years back. This one was an interesting build, and a lot of good lessons were learned for huge improvements. Florida is a tough place to build cob, not because of the weather, but because the soil has very little amount of clay content. I'll get into more specifics in the video case study. Please leave your questions here!

This lesson is important so I wanted to share it with everyone.

As the busy Summer season winds down, I'll be incrementally getting back onto the Skool page more again. For now, I'm going to share some of the videos I've been working on.

Started a new cob project today. A fire pit. I’ve got an entire wheel barrow full of dirt so there’s more to build. I’m foregoing the straw this time around, with such a small structure I’m curious to see how it’ll hold up without that fiber I don’t have a tarp so I’m mixing in a small bucket. 🪣 I prefer the tarp, much easier and feet are better mixing tools than hands for cob. @Alex Sumerall if I get some garden lime from Home Depot, is there a curing process that I can do? Last time I tried that, it all washed away - but I didn’t cure it. I had read somewhere if you cover it with a plastic for a few days the C02 put off can “cure” it

Hey everyone! Apologies for things being so quiet here in the Skool lately. I'm in the busiest part of the year as I prepare for workshop season. It's always challenging to juggle the online work and the building work together. But I wanted to share what I've been working on in the background the past few weeks. The outdoor rammed earth shower is almost complete! There will be a few details I'll be adding later, but I'm just trying to get it functional for April's workshop campers. I'm thinking of doing a video or we can do a live presentation/Q&A on how I built this. What do you think? Comment below. Thanks!
