We’ve laid cordwood all day yesterday and today and we are making good progress. We had 8 people come out and help!! It’s so much more effective to have at least 4 people working at one time. That way, someone can be mixing mortar, two people can be laying the wood, and someone can be pointing the mortar that has hardened enough to ‘finish’. We are probably about half way done. So, if we can get a few more cordwood work days in before the weather is consistently cold, we may be good to go!!
Here we have laid ‘big bertha’ in her place in the wall. It is the only large round piece that we have. They tend to crack, so we didn’t want to risk it with too many large pieces. But she seems to be holding up well.
And here is ‘big birtha’ a few hours later. Kaia said it look like she has bottle hair 
I love the way it turned out!
These are the kitchen walls. We worked on the left section today.
We did this section yesterday and today. On the inside there more bottles making a pattern up the wall.
This is the living room area. The 2 sections to the right of the triangle are almost finished now!
