Some of these posts will go right up to the roof and form part of the structure
But you wont see them in the house as they will be covered by straw, or by building. You can also see that the angles for the joists have been added, so you can get an idea of the floor height
This is the joist height for the pool table area.
We also spent Sunday at Colin and Chris's place in Wolfdeene. Colin is the engineer for the build and he and Chris have been involved in the straw building community for a while. We wanted to talk to them both about what's next as far as the big jobs are - and that is the render. We have plenty of clay to use for the render, but after seeing how good their place came up in the Lime external we are now thinking maybe we might have an external lime render - we will have to make our minds up quick as you need to make the lime up early and let it cure.
So once we have finished the nails (one pile to go) we need to start sifting, and seiving the clay down to a workable consistency with the sand.... this job is going to be fun!!!
