Hey y’all, here’s a little video showing where I’m at with the latest Cobin project… As you can see I finished framing it today, which took about 5 days in all and I’ll be l to apply the earthen cob plaster tomorrow… should be all done in just a few weeks… As you can see these structures do require a fair amount of old Scrap wood so you will need to secure a good course before you begin your project.

Project is coming along well… Just about finished with the framing, ready to start cobbing this weekend ! Wish more forks in this community lived closer to me and could come down to help with the cobbing, as that is the extra fun part. I’m really excited about this project, it’s a great place to feature the Palletable Cobin design.

Filled the pallets with straw for insulation. Not much to say here, just posting to show everybody. It’s part of the process. Goes in pretty easy, put the straw in the top and shove it down with a stick. Couple of times the pallet boards popped open, but was pretty easy to reattach. I got the straw on Facebook marketplace, because it was half the price I would pay at tractor supply. But it’s completely filled with goat heads, very prickly, painful seed pods, I hope I don’t get a weed infestation from this. One bale of straw filled about 3 pallets, and only ended up needing 3 bales to fill the 11 pallets.

Would be happy to volunteer to help building any Cobin building, Network and and learn..
