Hey y’all, just thought I’d share with you my technique of applying a lime wash over lime plaster to give it the final color and protection from water. It’s a super satisfying part of the building process to put the final touches on a cobin. There are also limestone sealers that can be applied over the lime wash for added protection, however I have never seen the need for it. A couple coats of lime wash should do the trick. You can use regular Type S lime as hydraulic lime is hard to get now.

I just visited Andrea’s cobin out here in Saint Helena Ca where she is building herself a Palletable Cobin. Thought y’all would like to see her progress. She’s definitely needing some help with the Cob so we’re talking about putting together on the sort of work party to help make that happen.

I just ran across this AD article about a cob project completed in Kazakhstan. It’s grander than anything I’m imaging building soon, but all the custom details and built-in EVERYTHING are super inspiring… https://share.google/8N0G4Us2rHfAFKNlQ
