Hi All, New Here!
Hi! I am excited to learn in this community and look forward to in person workshops. I recently purchased a 5th wheel and truck in order to travel and learn natural building and I am very excited for this journey to begin!

Putting in round windows
I realize that this is a finishing phase of the building process that few of you are actually able to apply currently but I thought you might it interesting. It’s nice to have wooden shutters because you can have the windows completely open during the day without a screen and then close them at night when the mosquitoes are active. The color you see on the outside is a Lime wash with a green iron oxide added and also a brown oxide on the inside. It is a clay paint made up of equal parts flour paste, very fine sand, clay and oxide for color. I also added a little bit of peppermint essential oil for a nice subtle fragrance and also to help keep insects out of the structure. We’ll see if it helps.

@Nina Larbalestrier yes, if you are in an area with lots of insects and other bugs during the day then screens would be a good idea. Where I’m currently building we only have some mosquitoes and they come out in the evening.
Doing the layout for a cobin
I started the 5th cobin today at the campground… dimensions are 11ft x15 ft with a side bathroom Will be putting a membrane down then doing a wooden floor on joists similar to a deck.

@Nina Larbalestrier yes I’m sure there are lots of people who would like to put concrete on the back of the structure and gravel below. In the design I’m doing, I’m putting a thick roofing membrane on the back side of the pallets and then back filling with earth. I don’t so much see the need for gravel below, as I am putting deck joists down and putting the floor boards on top of that. There isn’t any water that gets into the space, as there is a French drain diverting the water around to the sides of the structure
