Is cracking on the first coat a sign of lack of aggregate? I got ahold of limestone class 5. I sifted with a window screen, and the fines feel like a soft beach sand.. fresh water beach, not ocean. I mixed about 1:1 lime putty with limestone sand. I damped the Nexcem material before I applied the plaster. It doesn’t rub off and is not chalky. Left side is skimmed tight. Right side is applied maybe 2mm.
I'm going to design a house for you - What do you want to see?
Hey guys, I had an idea for a new video where I'm going to record the screen of me designing a cob/natural home for you so you can see the process I go through. I want to hear some of your thoughts on what you'd like to see in a house design? - Size/square footage - Shape/rooms needed - Style - What climate it will be for? - Materials (timberframe, cob, hemp, etc) Let me know in the comments. Thanks!

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!

@Alex Sumerall no rebar chairs? unless the rebar was lifted after the pour (floating says it wasn't done), it's not doing anything for the slab.
