Building cob walls – Rockcastle County, KY

- We will build a cob building atop the lime mortared foundation created during the Sept. 10 thru 12 workshop.
- You will learn everything you need to know to build with cob for a small building, including site selection, drainage, choosing materials, utility access, designing the threshold for a door, setting a window and door, and anchoring rafters in cob.
- We suggest out of town participants arrive Wednesday evening to set up camp. Local folks are encouraged to camp too. We will begin promptly at 9:00 Thursday morning.
- Meals will be provided starting with supper on Wed. evening, three meals and a snack on Thurs. thru Sat., and breakfast on Sun. morning. Please advise us of any special diet needs.
- We will start each day with breakfast, and begin building at 9:00. We will break for lunch at 12:00, and a snack will be provided in the afternoon at 3:00. Work will end at 5:30 to allow time for showers before supper at 6:30.
- Tours of local, sustainable and green building sites will be held some evenings.
- Plan to stay over Saturday evening for a special celebration.
