Thought I would share some photos of this years build. We have been building a cob sauna on the property and it is nearly there. Currently I'm working on the roof and will then be putting in 6" batch RMH (shorty) for the heat source. We did a majority of the cob during a 4 day cob workshop where we had 6 people working together to build the walls. Hope somone enjoys! It has been a fun one.

Yes, we did a pallet cob as made popular by Miguel Elliott (sir cobsalot). I did a similar build for our outdoor composting toilet and I really enjoyed the process, so went for it again. People seem to enjoy the method.

I got this tall by not having enough crisco in my diet as a kid. This ad looks like it had plenty of shortening:

better than composting toilets
