A bit late to the party it seems!
Hello All, Jennifer, Jay, Jean!
I find this thread especially fantastic. I have a familial history with bousillage and tabby construction, and can attest to longevity of its design (one of the oldest structures on the MS gulf coast). Unfortunately that being the case those relatives are long since enterred. The idea of using these construction methods has accordingly died or been dismissed as pure non-sense. I have a vision to utilize these methods in an effort to create a sustainable identity in this area lacking in such. A means of reclaiming culture and roots of creation. I was hoping for and update on @ Jennifer's project and i Hope the cosmos have seen fit to aid you in you're goals!
As well as anything in the way of Education opportunities on the topic of bousillage/tabby. I find it offers many of the benifits of cob and mitigates for a few draw backs in a wet hot rainy humid environment.
This is a great discussion and there is much to be learned from the information previously mentioned.
Bless
