Cabin insulation #2
After preparing for a few days, the big day came. Friday we picked up our clay teacher Daniele and we invited many our friends to help us out this day.
After an early breakfast we started to make the first mixture. 2 buckets of clay, 7 buckets of sand and as much straw as you feel. The first part ist stomping it on the tarp. Its fun but its also quite tiring.
The mixture we filled in buckets and brought it in the cabin where always around four people or more plastered the walls. Meaning to make a mud pancake in your hand, smashing it on the wall and patting it on. And all of this all day long.
We feel so blessed, that so many people showed up. So it was possible to rotate all the jobs and even finish the first layer of insulation.
Of course we feed our helpers with Tajin but even our helpers brought energyballs and more to make the day even more amazing!
Im left after this day with a lot of gratefullness to all the people and motivation for the coming projects.
The insulation is not finished yet, but it needs to dry for a week before we can start the next layer. Until then we have to fill gaps as they open and fire the woodstove in the cabin.
To see the final look and how it went with the final plaster, come by in a week.
See you soon,
Tammy
