      I believe a cover for your 6 ton bench and maybe matching curtains.
      Great work. A lot of brainstorming and a lot of sweat but looks great. Nice pick on the fabric

      My guess is for cushions on the bench.

    The closer you guys get to finishing is the happier, and happier Jess gets. I think she might do a backflip when this thing is all finished.

    The fabric is beautiful and contrasts with the desert colors.
    It will make a great cushion for the cob/ rocket stove bench.
    That's my guess.
    I loved Jessica's smile when she show cased the fabric

    Built on rocket mass heater 8 yrs ago on back deck - added greenhouse onto deck and keep temp at 70 degrees all winter and open slider and heat my house as well. Clay came from own yard. Best thing ever 🎯

    ALOHA to both of you Green Dream Desert Homestead Project...yay, getting a lot of progress done, hooray also with the kids - Crew and Lluvia they are such good pets taking care of the 3 of you with Peter, Jess's brother and Jim, such hard caring loving workers on that rocket mass heater. Bravo, Jessica chose a awesome color-schemed pattern of material as a cover for the cob bench in the dome. Enjoy seeing wonderful natural cushions loads of toil and soil going into your home warmth and tenderness...keep on ''truckin you all ..'' ciao

I have a 2,650 gal water bladder coming, a 4,000wt solar, all in 1, solar generator, plus 12 or 16, 3.2vt, 280ah lipo4 batteries, corrugated roofing, looking at rock wool and more. I cannot wait. We're in NW Arizona. Keep it up.

    Crow had a big ol' gopher snake like that cornered near our back steps once. It was reassuring that mayyyybe he will just keep his distance from a rattler and bark if it gets in the yard. Bench is looking awesome! It's interesting how people in comments seem to just type opinions about your work without actually watching the video. People are odd.

    @unionse7en Год назад +3

    cob expands or shrinks after packing it in?..... i guess you can place wedges after it hardens... I could also putting some posts up along the bags to the joists. I think some blocks/bricks with paired wedges on top of the bags would be the way to go. You can then backfill with cob.

    That is going to be such an incredible feature for your home and so very necessary with that type of construction. I can see your entire family cozied up on it this Fall and winter! You'll have to start off by claiming it for just you folks or I guarantee you, the doggies will be spread out on it leaving you no room at all. Lol...we all know how long those boundaries work with " fur babies" ;)

    Thanks for putting up Lluvia name up because I could never remember how to spell her name, She chases the birds like my dog, be thankful she does not bark at them my dog does, sometimes I have to call her. The rocket mass heater is looking great cant wait to see what Jessica does to the finished project. I thought the fabric would be for curtains although that would be too simple an idea for Jessica. Thanks for the video.
