Crunck and Jost

The groom will keep his name whilst she will change hers to his. We talked over these things as we constructed a home that would become home to the new couple. Some laughed when they asked us to construx the place. We put four corners up using poles we used untreated lumber interconal and external leaving the walls hollow we used cobb to fill the walls we found it best to construx in quarters building to where the bottom of the window would be and then ramming the cobb into the agapes. we used cob and concrete and drove rebar into the softened material. we put concrete blocks and slabs of stones in the pre dug trenches and pour concrete in the bottom before we began constructing box type walls that we packed from the ground and nailed them in place using the bobcat. separating the two materials allowed us to save time by separating the cobb which meant both parts could cure separate and we could continue work not worrying about overloading the wall and allowing errors. we put a barn type roof on using tin and plyboards. we used a faux stone decorative brick on the exterior the place looked authentic and brick. Inside we used a natural stone ledger panels to give a Desert look to the inside. Certain areas inside used sheetrock which we used mitered edged We cedar and stained and shelaced the wood and painted the sheetrock a cream color. the center of the place had rammed earth walls four walls that didn't touch but were join together using pallet wood from the floor to the ceiling. the pallet wood had been treated with borax and stained. we explored building topless and bottomless boxes. and drilling holes in the dirt installing poles and places the boxes around the poles and filling them wi cob on our next project we'd use the same system to creat rooms with this structure. and would use te large beams to create a roof. that would use both plyboard and tin. sixteen by sixteen centered windows
