Dear Strawbalers,  Cobbers, and Natural Playground Enthusiasts, 
We have gotten a lot  of work done on the strawbale shed, the cob playhouses, 
and various other  elements of the playground.  As with all big projects, 
there is still more  to do.  So if you are interested, here is a listing of the 
dates on which  we will be working: 
Friday June 30  beginning at 8am (likely until noon) – working on plastering 
the strawbale and  cobbing 
Saturday July 8 – If  we have volunteers we will plaster the shed and do some 
cob  construction. 
Week of July 10 – Lime  Plastering -- if you are available at all this week, 
let me know and we will  schedule work sessions when we have volunteers 
Saturday July 15 – 9am  – Final coat of lime plaster for the strawbale shed 
Monday July 17 –  Finish work on the playhouses, including earth plastering 
the  exterior 
Saturday July 22 –  this is the final day of work to finish up whatever is 
left to  do.
