Cob + Bamboo

So what am I doing for fun? Building a cob oven and bamboo shelter. This is taking place in new friend Peter's backyard. Its time to take my knowledge of the built world and conquer it sans treehouse. I am incredibly pumped to do this! P'der has worked with building earthdomes at CalEarth and is a wonderful team mate for this expedition. I will now keep you abreast of our triumphs and foibles. 

For starters we have 30 15ft bamboo shoots we have to cure. Researching the different ways to do this...if anyone has pointers. 

To those of you who are wondering if I am turning into a smelly hippy you are half right. I do smell much of the time as I have started finally wearing all natural deodorant (sorry Mara), and I haven't cut my hair in over six months. Other than that...just Elyse.
