@Sir Cobalot darn, too much going on, sad I missed it. I’m putting down my foundation this week for the sauna so definitely I’ll be on the next call to get info and share!! So stoked to be part of this community!!
Making a cob mix
Hey y’all, here’s a little video showing how I make a cob mix, using a leaf shredder to shop the straw. I show the electrical wires being put into the structure which will be covered in an earthen planter. Also featured is the sandy flour paste mixture I put on the smooth plywood around the round door to make the cob grab to the wood better. It’s kind of a long one, hope you don’t mind!

Thank you!!! I really appreciate all the practical support you provide us on this platform!!!!
About to begin!!
This is the space I cleared for the sauna! I am going to rewatch the sauna video. One thing I’ll need clarity on is the exact spacing of the 9 4x4s. And perhaps some advice on how to make sure they’re level… Also, I was so inspired to hear Miguel say that he only works on projects with locally milled lumber. We use all locally milled lumber or recycled pallets on our building projects, or bamboo! I was depressed thinking I was going to need to buy lumber for my sauna until I found this platform!! I do have one question/concern: I’m not sure our lumber is as “dimensional” as purchased lumber. How do I manage boards that may have a slight curvature to them? Thx so much I appreciate you all so much! I am so stoked!!!!!

@Sir Cobalot Thank you. Im not using round poles, I am using hand-milled lumber, so its not exactly straight like a home Depot piece. Im going to try and find the straightest lumber. I was going to buy lumber but when you said you wont do a build unless the wood is locally milled, you made me realize that I feel the same! So, Ill collect what I have and get back to you. Doing a round roof definitely sounds tricky, and I am tempted to do a square just to make it easier since I'm not an experienced builder. Your thoughts on that? And thx so much, this platform is god-send <3
