I was told to pput the lime plaster on after the second coat of clay.  So I already have a lime coat on it. Did I really F*** up?

I build an passive solar greenhouse using strawbale and clay plaster. I was told to use a lime plaster on the outside, but I am having difficulties with getting to look right and in some places it is not adhering to the clay plaster coat.  I have seen different recipes for the lime plaster, some with clay, some with out.

Is there anyone in the midwest (Central IL to be specific) that could help me get the last coat applied?

I Love Living Farms. In this video at 1:25 min. it shows something like a climate battery but above ground.  They don't give the specifics of how much rock or how to connect the tubes.  Does anyone know the specific details on how to build these raised beds?



Here is the video that really explains  and gives details.

Hey, I finally figured out how to down load the solar dehydrator that plans.  Great! But, and it's a little but, It will not let me download the 3-DPlan to my computer.  What am I doing wrong?

I still get an oops can't open. Please help

I paid for the solar dehydrator plans.  But I can not download  the plans or videos.  HelP?

I am looking at some manual log splitting tools.  I am older women and need something simple. My neighbor chops firewood for me, but sometimes they are too big for my stove. Every so often I need to split them smaller. I have seen ads for the ones in this link.  Any recommendations on any of these.  I am especially looking at the black ones that are tall and have circle at top to hold the wood.

Do you have a video or an explanation of how you built this?  Did you use cob?
I have read the books put out by Cerce, but have trouble understanding some of the jargon.  I need a contractor, but none in my area have built passive solar.
