[Cob] Rubble Rock Trench FoundationJanet Standeford janet.standeford at gmail.comMon Oct 31 15:45:01 CDT 2011
Yayyy! Nabil has agreed to a rubble rock trench foundation with concrete mortar and rebar! He has also agreed to heartwood of Juniper for the top of the walls! I will use heartwood of Juniper for framing and the roof as well (with metal roofing over that). This ensures there will be nothing in the way of building at Stone Haven starting at the end of April or beginning of May, whenever the snow has melted enough. I will rent an excavator and dig up everything, including the foundation area. I'll be building a ramp to the top so the truck can be backed up to the house site. All rocks for the foundation will be moved to the top with the excavator. As I mentioned, I'll use the roto tiller method to mix 1000 lbs per hour. Hard labor will be minimal so we can focus on the building integrity and shape. If anyone would like to sign up for this, please email me at janet.standeford at gmail.com We will be building through August.
