Stem wall
Posted by Michael, March 8th.
I’ve been working on a earthen wall by my casita.
The barbed wire is visually abrasive so I thought I’d remedy it with some cob.
I’ve been collecting stones and old concrete for the stem wall.
Next to source the mud…

I had some adobes and left over mud from a repair and threw it on the stem wall.
Clay-rich earth, mixed with pit run and straw.

The cob part of the cob wall is starting to take shape. It is left pitted with holes to create a key for the next layer and it helps it dry.
More mud…
