It's starting to look like a house, I've placed 4 window frames, so it's getting very exciting. As the house is on a slope there are going to be two different floor levels, it's important that the finished floor level will be above ground level.

My husband had a week off work and joined me, he also fell in love with cob!! |
|
First window frame, yeahy, so exciting!! |
|
number two |
|
There are 3 round window frames for the living room which will be placed diagonally so the first one is in place |
|
one of the window frames for the bedroom which will have bottles above it. |
|
Brent made me a great movable scaffolding as on one side of the house the walls are getting too high for me |
|
look closely at the base of the stump, a beautiful Puff Adder, they are very dangerous but as with anything only if you disturb them! A visitor wanted to kill it but I explained how this is also the snakes home, it's got it's role to play! |
|
The smell of the first rains on the dry baked earth here is one of the best, but I didn't enjoy it for long as a huge storm came along, it's a month earlier than anticipated, so I will see if this slows down the building. |

It was really a heavy storm, I kept the walls covered, but the material is not very waterproof, will have to get something else until I get the roof up. The walls did well though, no damage. |
