I will be at Oly Salvage finishing the construction of the cob bench. Come have fun in the, er, ahem SUN (I hope I hope I hope) and learn a simple building technique.

If it rains, all bets are off (i.e. no work party).

Hello everybody,

I need some help at the Olympia Salvage cob couch site: I need experienced carpenters to help me build a roof over this bad boy. It's a simple affair, four posts, some braces and a small roof structure to protect the couch and its couchers from all the liquid sunshine we get.

I also need some material donations to the tune of: 4 4x4x10s and some 2x6s, 12' and 8' and some galvanized brackets that can weather the storms of Oly winter. Roofing material. What you got?

Experience the thrill of doing things for FREE for your community and put a big ol' smile on my face!

Contact me at brillaba@gmail.com if you are interested in being awesome.

Thank you,

Larissa

Come to Olympia Salvage this weekend and help build Oly's first-ever cob COUCH!! Cob is a natural building material comprised of sand, clay and straw. It's great fun for the whole family. Friday we kick it all off at noon and go until 4 or so. Saturday 10 am to 3 pm. Sunday 10 am to 4 pm. Make history. Dance in mud. There will be a little food and some drink. Friday there will be music thanks to our friends Southern Skies. Hope to see you there!
