In this video we get down to business Slingin' Mud.
We begin cobbing and explain our recipes used in our #Earthenplaster for our #strawbalehouse. We also have some experiments that will be working through, including the use of natural hydraulic line number 2 as fortification for our plasters. We'll want to be testing its durability and waterproofness.

We got a lot of great suggestions after the last video and we appreciated and implemented two of them as you'll see in this video.
