Beginning 2019 with straw: Part 1

The last few months have been filled with straw.  Chris has been working hard to get all the straw in the walls in preparation for plastering once the weather is warm enough.


The "hallway" created by the hanging plastic hoarding covering the entire house. This plastic protects the straw from moisture until it can be plastered this spring, and it gives Chris a safe place to work out of the weather. On the left is the North wall, already filled with straw.

Zander loves working on the scaffold!

Break time!
