Most helpful video I've seen, building with cordwood this summer. Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

Im in grow zone 5/6. Gives a reference of the cold i deal with. I would rather build with lime than portland. Something i have done for 40 yrs - is to cut and leave the leaves on the tree - branches and all - I cut in the spring - it allows the summer to dry out the tree. Makes seasoning the wood or waiting it out a much shorter time frame. Thank you!

I enjoyed your video and attention to detail and your honest assessment of the final results. I work with clay based earth building materials and thought I would try using a rich chopped straw and clay mixture throughout the whole length of the joints in between the logs. If bugs are a concern I would add a percentage of borax to the mix. Wild clays in our area come in a wide variety of colors so one could change up the color mortar for additional effects in the wall. All in all I learned a lot and appreciate your taking the time to share your experience!

Thanks for this I really enjoyed it. I think I'd like to make a small shed with this technique to get some practice before trying a cabin. Very helpful info!

Am I the only one that thinks is voice sounds like Nicolas Cage? Good video, extremely informative.
-
Ah! I was wondering about the thermal conductivity of the mortar. You've got it figured out.

Thanks Bro, that was a wealth of knowledge. I'm in the Pacific Northwest with fairly mild winters and lots of Red Cedar. I'm definitely going to to a post and beam and cordwood build. Just doing a little homework. :)
