I watched the video and a question came to mind... As a wall building progresses how do you protect it from the rain and erosion... And are you only waiting for it to dry, does it have to harden for days before you put a final coat on it.... Basically how does the wall dry? And I most definitely am considering coming to one of the workshops.

Hi I'm Monica, and I want to cover a hundred year old house with Cobb
Long story short, during covid I spent a whole bunch of money buying rundown properties in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I'm retired it's 6 years later I've got one 2,000 sq ft hundred year old house that I just can't figure out what to do with it. I've got over 30 years experience working for developers in real estate. I'm originally from Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I moved to Arkansas full time 3 years ago. I've just recently renewed my interest in getting my building inspector license. I'm on the urban forestry commission here in town, for shytes and giggles I got my storm water construction site inspector license, I'm a certified tree inspector and since it's way easier for me to get my building inspector license here in Arkansas then it was in Pennsylvania that's my new adventure. So here's what happened when I started studying for my building inspector license I realized how inefficient the way we build houses in the US is and everything I knew about Cobb eliminated like 90% of the problems that happened to houses as we build them now. With all that said I joined this group I would love to share any and all information about the house that I have and answer the question , can you cover an existing house with Cob? Attached are my old 20/20 original building inspections I had done when I bought the property.

@Alex Sumerall here is the inner wall to that outer wall pictured... It's several layers of a masonry wall with no insulation out to the wood cladding. This house was built in sections over a hundred years. Picture to show the different ceiling levels.

I'm proud to share, these certificates, your school has given me hope that I can get this old 100-year-old house renovated and a tribute to the community before I leave this earth.
