I just uploaded the new video documenting how to build a footer-stemwall foundation. This is one of my favorite styles of foundations for any sort of building. It's especially great for heavy, load-bearing earth walls! This video also presents the project that all of our workshop students will be participating with this year! Join me here to get hands-on experience building these massive cob walls: https://www.thiscobhouse.com/cob-workshops/ Leave your questions and comments below so we can discuss this style of foundation.

Here's a preview video. I'll be putting together a full video with design, progress photos, and instruction soon. This is footage Tal took at last year's April workshop where we did the rammed earth mixing and tamping.
