@Sir Cobalot France has become more than Palletable Cobbin-Friendly 👍👍 Living rooftops are not only welcome now, they are mandatory for large structures and encouraged for smaller structures that the new laws mandate. ✨Great opportunities exist abroad ✨ 🎉!Se bon!🎉 https://livingarchitecturemonitor.com/articles/france-new-law-supporting-green-roofs-sp22

Hello everyone. Im delighted to be apart of the community. Im joining from ireland. The past couple of years ive been building a healing centre at the moment im building my first cob ceremony space from pallets. Im going to put a cob floor in also. Im just checking out soil at momenthoping its the correct clay.I've built a small swimming pool with sauna also. I plan to build 2 maybe 3 small hobit houses from cob next

Here’s a little update showing what I’m working on today here at Cobville. I am plastering a cobin built about 20 years ago and explaining the earthen plaster I’m doing over wood. Again, if the wood is smooth, you’ll need to wrap it up with either flower paste with course sand added or primer with course sand added or something I’ve been using recently is something called methyl cellulose I get from Gold hill Clay plaster which works very similar to flour paste. You can also staple a chicken wire or hardware cloth to the wood, but that’s not very fun but it does work. Fortunately, in this case, the wood was rough enough that a Clay slip was all that was needed for the Cob to grab onto the wood. When this is dry, I’ll be doing a clay paint over everything which will consist of equal parts nice colored Red, Clay, very fine silica sand and the Methyl cellulose. I might add a little bit of Mica in it also to make it sparkle. It’s also impossible to do a lime blaster over everything as well followed by a lime wash, but to be honest with you I so prefer doing earthen plasters and if it’s applied, smooth enough and burnished well it does handle water pretty well

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 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.
