| Getting to the Roof | ||||||||
| After embedding doors and windows, we continue building the cob wall until we get to the level at which we want to install the roof. While building the wall up as fasst as we can we forget to put in a glass bottle for a nice added detail (We didn't have any nice bottles available). So after Kristina finds a nice blue bottle at the recycling center, Reid cuts out a hole in the cob for the bottle to be embedded. The roofing will be secured to round aspen poles that are embedded directly into the cob. |

| The door frame and windows are almost completely embedded. | Kristina completes top of wall. | |||||||

| Cutting a hole thru existing dried section of cob is really tough! | ||||||||
| Carefully applying the cob to existing surface. | ||||||||

| Bottle finally installed and sealed with wet cob. | ||||||||
| One hour later still trying to get the hole big enough for the bottle! | ||||||||

| Kristina is ready to move in! | ||||||||
| Bottle looks good from outside also! | ||||||||
