StepShuzz's Cob Shed Of Forgery

[CarolsHusband]

Thought it might be interest to y'all, a little side project that's been going on at Shuzz Towers.

Stepson is a bit of a blacksmith/welder so we thought a forge in the paddock might be a good idea to keep him out of trouble & off the PS4.

Building it out of cob blocks with a lime render as it's a traditional method round here & we're also banking on getting away with it coz it's pretty.

Planning wise, it's a "field shelter" so we may be OK but also hoping that Clarksons Law my help us avoid a bollocking.

Built onto the bedrock/ well drained brash & ultimately it'll have a live roof.

Last image is the rough coat of course lime applied today, followed by two smooth coats in a week or so

and after an afternoon of scrubbing the cladding clean, it looks nearly new! what fantastic luck.
