We will be extending the footprint of the building with a strawbale-insulated bedroom\, as well as a slip-straw insulated bathroom. Earthen and lime plastering work can be done on both of those wall systems during the week. We will additionally spend 2 hands-on days with cob wall systems\, and some time installing a living roof. \nOur workshops are very hands-on! Expect to be building on site for about 7 hours each day. This is supplemented with discussion\, presentations\, and a home tour of some local natural homes. \nHands-on material: \n– strawbale installation\n– mixing and installing cob\n– slip-straw (AKA: “light straw-clay”) installation\n– natural plastering on straw-based wall systems\n– mixing and using natural plasters (lime\, earth\, scratch coat vs. finish coat\, etc…)\n– harvesting and framing with roundwood\n– installing windows and doors\n– green roof construction \nDiscussion topics: \n– mixed-media homes: how to combine cob\, strawbale\, earthen floors\, etc..\n– cob vs. strawbale vs. slip-straw (benefits and compromises of each)\n– foundation options\n– roof options\n– passive solar design and siting your building\n– permitting and building to code \nWe will enjoy three home-cooked meals each day\, focusing on healthy and real foods (and local\, where possible!). Two of these meals will be pizza nights at our cob oven! Evenings are generally unscheduled\, but usually include campfires and relaxing. Most participants stay on site\, in tents or in our rental cabins ($10/night). \nThere are composting toilets\, hot showers\, and a pond to swim in. Drinking water is readily available\, as is electricity.
