I'm testing the strength of the main beam of the roof.

I'm useing wire to hold the post together before i put the roof on.

It rained dirt.

A cob house makes a good shelter.

A few explosives !!!

I cut down an 8in oak tree about 16ft long for my roof beam. Im letting it dry.

Getting deeper !

I added 2x6's above each window to hold the wall and weight of the the oak beam, that way the weight of the roof is distributed among the wall.

I found this buried not far from the cob house, and now its going to be a small window.

Time for the windows . I used 2x4s and made square frames . I have nails sticking out of both sides to make sure the windows fit nicely in the walls.

Random things are fun to add.

I poke my fingers in the top of the walls to help the next layer of cobs fit.

I added two vent pipes in the back wall. I used 2in. PVC pipe.
