We are still alive… promise…

I know, I know. All of you were probably getting worried that we were captured by a radical right wing northern California militia or something, but have no fear. We are safe, sound and although a bit tired very happy. We have been working pretty furiously doing final finish earthen plaster on a straw bale house in the Capay Valley in California.  The project has been awesome and Meg has let Jessie and I kind of take over the exterior finish part of the house so we have been in full project management, work day mode.  We have 75% of the house plastered and are planning to get the last set of walls done this week.

I’ll be pulling together a couple of posts about some of the progress and a lessons learned post so we can remember later the good and bad of this project. In the mean time here is a small video of time lapse pictures we took while finishing the 3rd wall.

For those of you reading via email the video is available at this link.
