Cob: age doesn't matter: was: Bermed cobCharmaine R Taylor tms at northcoast.comSat Oct 5 19:35:08 PDT 2002
Hi Dorethy- welcome to the over 40 women-who-build club..I am no longer surprised by how much energy there is in older adults who jump into natural building. as an example ( show won't mind my telling) I just came back from helping to plaster a woman friend's SB barn--- she and hubby ( 60 and 62) have been living in a silver streak trailer and building a 2 story SB horse barn BEFORE they start on the house, they get help from grown kids, etc., but do most of it themselves, even to putting on a metal roof with a steep pitch ! She flings mud plaster with the best of them and even engineered a great multi level deck and stair with landings off the top story of the barn ..she knocks me out with her cheerful "go to it" energy and creativity. SO it doesn't matter your age..I even had one book customer who was telling me he's building a garage first and some outbuildings before he starts the real house..and he was 74.... the only caveat is to be good to your body and NOT overdo it. A little bit of work every day gets the job done the same in the end...even better cause you can figure out problems and solve them without just jumping on the first solution...
