Hey Folks,

I recently commandeered this small cabin in Northwest Washington that I have been sqatting and maintaining for the past few years. I recently undertook a new kitchen project and it is a can of worms but the floor will be replaced soon. My question is...the log cabin is poorly chinked and i am thinking about hitting a boootyton of nails into the logs and cobbing the wall. I have a free huge source of local clay and sand is easy to get. I have built many a cob oven but my experience is limited. Any other advice? I know it will look better than the logs and it will seal at least that part of the house from being drafty. Thanks!

Avoid nails, use traditional methods, and give me a call if you want to discuss it.

Regards,

jay
