More Straw Walls

It's been a while since I have posted something, and we're copping a bit of grief for it so here it is.

Progress has been made but it is a little slow given the cold weather.  We've been working on straw walls and getting some render on.  The electrician has also been back and permanently mounted the switchboard and installed a sub-board.

The straw walls for the bathroom, laundry and pantry are completely finished and rendered on the outside (some of the inside has render as well).  Below is a photo of the outside of the pantry and laundry, and yes it is very uneven and scratched up, it is the first coat after all.


We've started around the corner form these walls, which is Kylie's studio. I've made a fair amount of progress with it, but the bad weather and the need to try to maintain a complete plastic cover of the non-rendered bales has slowed things down a lot.  We're hoping for some good weather this weekend so we can get some render on the outside of this section, that might mean I don't have to spend all my time fixing the plastic back up when the wild weather rips it off again.


Above is the inside corner of Kylie's studio. This has come up a lot better than the previous walls, I'm really starting to get the hang of it now.
