Now that the second story room is finished, with the plaster complete, shelving built, and a fresh coat of wax on the wood floor, we’ve finally started moving in! One wheel barrel load at a time, I’ve been transferring clothes, books, blankets, etc down the path to the cob house, up the stairs to the balcony, and through the 2′x3′ door…
Throughout this project, I haven’t wanted to sleep in the house at all. People always ask me why i haven’t started staying in the house, as its been a functional, dry shelter for a while now. Maybe I’ve been using the thought of my first night with the house as a way to keep myself motivated to continue building. Or maybe I’ve only wanted to experience the house fully, in all it’s magical, glorious beauty. When I went to bed Sunday night, I had the deepest feeling of satisfaction. Staring up at the roundwood rafters, illuminated by the warm candlelight, a cool breeze coming in through the south window, my cat Bastet snuggled in bed next to me…
All the hard work is totally worth it…
congratulations! looks amazing!
are you still working on the first floor? Your journey has been a massive inspiration for me and my hubby! Almost sad that it’s nearing the end!
Danielle, I love it. It sort of has that Log Cabin feel to it. The shelves are great too. I can’t wait to come and see the Cob house in person! You did one good job building this home : )

Wow, the house looks inspiring & amazing. I have absolutely loved reading your blog and seeing the house progress. It has made me unbalievably excited to come and see the house myself… I’d say seeing your house is one of the things Kate and I are most excited about during our trip.
