Cordwood
by Maria Muscarella - July 26th, 2006.Filed under: House.
Toby got back from NY this weekend. He was up at a cordwood conference and had a blast! We are hoping to have our house plans done and in the code process by the end of August. Building with cordwood takes a while because the wood has to dry for months before you can put it into the walls, but it is much cheaper than conventional methods, and it looks pretty cool. These pictures are from Toby’s adventure.
Here’s what a cordwood panel looks like. Toby and his dad worked on this section.

Here is a finished house wall.

Here’s another outside shot.
Cool, eh?
Our goals for August: Finish the house siding, design the house, and begin to tackle the “code” process.
