Ash and Giovanna's Garden Shed: Ready for Cob!

Dylan and I started the morning off by building some steps:

Next, we installed wire fencing around the entire structure. It is attached to the firring strips (the vertical, skinny pieces of lumber), and so is being held about 1 inch away from the plywood sheathing. This system is ugly to look at, but is a perfect setup for adhering a 2-inch-thick layer of cob around the outside of the building.

Here are some photos of the my own shed, which utilizes the same technique...

Ash and Giovanna's shed now looks like this:

Ready for cob and then earthen plaster!
