Trial wall test and another question
We made a trial wall to test our mixture. It's looking good so far. Also got the bricks finished this week. Letting the mortar set up a bit before pouring concrete in the walls. Do the cob walls need deadman wherever we put walls?

Florida Cob Cottage - photos
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!
