Ready for Rain

With a bunch of rain in the forecast, on Thursday I screwed temporary 4-foot high plywood sheathing to the outside of the framing.  This should keep the worst of the rain off the light straw clay.  It's not the end of the world if it gets slightly wet as long as it doesn't get totally soaked.  With the top half of the wall left open and the 8" between the plywood and the LSC, there will be plenty of air flow, so I can leave the sheathing on for days or weeks at a time while the LSC continues to dry out.

Also notice the big pile of pea gravel on the left side of the shot.  First thing next week, most of that gets moved inside as the base for the adobe floor.
