Another way of building

Now I guess I have to add gargantuan Formosan termite migrations to the list. We need to hold the whole state underwater for about 30 minutes and clean some of that crap up.

Doesn't work. They are really bad in Louisiana. The thoughts following the flooding from Katrina were that it would greatly reduce the termite populations. Nope - didn't happen. In fact, bids went out to remove all of the city sized debris piles that were formed during clean up in the aftermath. Live termites were found in much of the debris. I don't remember how early it was caught, but all of the trees/mulch had to be treated to prevent the spread.

Can you do that? Maybe if all us fat guys gather there for a campout....


ETA-Oh, Crash beat to the "post" button.

The good news Rick.......I don't think they're above 35 degrees North latitude in the US.

Hang on. I'm drawing a red line on my map at 35 degrees. That's pretty cold, though.

So Rick, no lightning in Indiana? And, I know for a fact, that there are old people in Indiana as well. just sayin.....

I really like this type of structure of Wild Woman's. Don't know if you'll be around here lately, but I wanted to ask a question - Provided some kind of water-shedding stucco is used (like a cementized cob finish), do you think a cob mixture would work well as chink here? (cob - clay, sand, and straw. Whole buildings are made with it.)

Walking Tree...........she left the forum in 2012 after getting upset at what she called lack of compassion shown by forum members following a report of a bear mauling (newspaper report - nobody here knew the victim).

Well darn. Hope the victim did alright.

I kind of always liked this building method though. And the idea of cob as chink (just for trying to use native materials more)...but don't know if that idea is a good idea. Maybe somebody else here will give some input on this.
