This is for all of you sitting around with nothing better to do. ;)

With this nice early spring we hope to be making good headway finishing the interior soon!

Beautiful home and family, Andrew.  Thanks for sharing.   :)

That was one really intense group participation project.  Looks like everyone had a job and wanted to get it done.

Thanks, everyone! I can't take credit for the family, though. That was my parents doing. ;)

You can take credit for being a part of it.  Some families have a hard time working together -- looks like you all agreed that you had a common goal and all wanted to be a part of accomplishing that goal.  That is great. :)

While you are supposed to respect your parents, it is my belief that parents need to earn the respect of their children.  When they have done that it makes cooperation on a family project much easier to attain.

Respect is a bit funny sometimes.  It has to be earned no matter who you are.  It cannot be demanded.  It cannot be mandated.

Magnificant! What exactly is the "red" mud?

It is our cob mix that we use in place of the conventional cement mortar used by most cordwood masons. It's a little different than typical cob.. Very short fibers, and more moist. We refer to it as "glob cob."

That's a nice record of the construction. I also  had a look thru your blog; liked it.   :)

Yes, yes.  

Nice use of photos compressed to the point that they look altered too
(although maybe some were).

No intentional alterations... Just trying to get it to load ASAP. People are impatient and don't like to wait 45 minutes for some pics to load. :)

Which is why we don't have a 56k connection anymore....

I get to pack the laptop into town to find anything better.  So I really did appreciate the small files.

Good to think of people with dialup, Ernest T. Bass. :)  .... unlike some of us with DSL who forget that not everyone has it. :-/
