Saving our backs
We are slowly making progress on our cob house. We discovered using a deer lifter is great for lifting those buckets into the mixer! It's exciting to start seeing our cob walls coming together ❤️

Slip straw forms
Hey all! I'm getting ready to start breaking ground for a sauna and was thinking about experimenting with a hybrid. I'd like to make the stem wall from stone and make the north wall slip straw and the rest cob. My question is: when setting up the slip straw forms, how do they attach to the stem wall or do they attach? Thanks for any info!
