Dear South Coast
Permaculture Guild and other friends,
We need your help in
Ventura this weekend!
The Scoop -
Rachel and
Doug's Work Party:
Sunday, April
9th*
Starting at 11 a.m.
(We'll be going over
the concepts of laying the rocks at 11)
(If you can't make
it by 11 - please come help anyway!!)
345 West Center St.,
Ventura,
CA 93001
(805)648-1267
We are building a
"rock" foundation for our earthen (cob), garden studio.
We're recycling
concrete slab from the back yard for the "rocks", and using a natural mortar of
sand and clay.
Last week, we had a
great work party and got the foundation/stem wall almost half built.
Hopefully we'll come close to completing it this Sunday.
If you come, you
will get a chance to lay urbanite, break concrete slab, mix and apply mortar,
eat good food, and listen to tunes.
Lunch, snacks, and
drinks will be provided. Please be sure to bring gloves and heavy shoes or work
boots and maybe a light jacket. Also, please RSVP if you're coming so I know how
much food to make.
A huge thank you to
everyone who has already come over and helped make this project come alive! I'll
get the latest pictures up, but here is our blog for now: http://www.songlabs.com/cob
*Apologies to those
friends who requested a Saturday workday. I'm organizing a film festival and
sustainable living panel this Saturday, April 8th at the Underground. Should be
way cool too.
Peace and
Health,
-Rachel
