Cob Mahal Build Time Lapse 4: 3/09/2023 to 5/24/23

This is a time lapse video of our natural straw bale/cob house build in Texarkana, TX, during kind of an interim phase in the build. Our friend David Randall had just left, so it was just Mike out there, improving the stone stem wall, charring, sanding, and treating the pine rafter poles with boric acid, linseed oil, and turpentine, and reinforcing the inner posts and beams with metal L-braces. All of this preparation of the rafters and post and beam structure would lead to our Memorial Day Weekend rafter raising extravaganza. But that's for another video. Stay tuned!
