Termite capping
Are you able to put termite plates on top of pier blocks? I think there's an extra paver that goes on top of the block, could ant capping go under that and on top of the block?
Outer fascia
The 2x12 fascia which contains the living roof went up pretty quick.

Really interesting seeing a build halfway through. Couple of questions - did the 4x4s get cemented directly into the ground on this build? What are you going to use for the membrane on the roof?

I’ve tried to make mockups of my future house / build based on the few pages that I could read of the hand sculpted book. They advise to design your dream place based on activities and also a minimum viable first build place to live, realistically buildable the first year (my first big cobin here in the middle). I’ve found it super interesting and helpful to think in functions and how I actually would like to live and realize I don’t really need so much indoor space in the end. The two other cobins attached are the kitchen on the left and the bedroom / indoor shower (mini bathroom) on the right. If you have any questions please ask πŸ˜… It may look a bit stupid made of toilet rolls, cereal and egg boxes but it really helped me to figure out how the actually put and build things in 3D to maximize functional space. πŸ€“πŸ“

This is so useful. Really like your inclusion of a rocket stove.
