The Wattle & Daub Cottage

Wattle and daub part 3. . Adding the second layer of daub, a mix of 50:50 sand and clay with a little finely chopped straw to bind. . I got a little creative with this one and really enjoyed the process. The next step will be to do some more research into recipes for the final layers of render. Perhaps incorporating fermented clay, lime, manure? . This project is mostly for fun, practice, and experimenting, it will be exposed to the elements and I'm not expecting it to last hundreds of years. .
