Today I finally was able to work on the earth-bag house, if you are interested in seeing more pics of what I did today please visit the flickr site. I have a problem with the bags disintegrating right now since I haven't worked on the house in months, it is all going to "hello" right now, but the Almighty gave us a beautiful day today, and I was able to accomplish a great deal, well, for an old woman that is! I actually made a place to screen dirt, and did that for a while, then I started some more repair plastering, because I have done a little so far, but the plaster was freezing when I was doing it that time, so I wasn't very productive with it, but a lot better today, I used a mix of some straw, saw dust, lots of dirt, newspaper, and a thick lime water to wet it down. It is working out fairly well, and I think when I am finished with the "repair plastering" I will put some lime plaster over it. But for now, I am just wanting to repair and get back to work and try to get the house in in the dry before the next winter. OK, so that is all today, may the Almighty bless you and keep you safe.
