Description: Adobe in Action's next "Owner Builder Support Work Day" is being planned for May 10, 2025 (Saturday) in conjunction with an ongoing Owner Builder Support Project in the Pojoaque, NM area. The main focus of this work session will be to help the owners build an adobe parapet wall on top of the concrete bond beam that they recently poured. Adobe in Action online program graduate and owner builder support recipient Paul Mallory (who recently completed his own adobe home in Santa Fe) will be leading the support work. Owners Gregor & Rachel will also be working with the group and will be glad to show attendees their progress so far via a short tour of the building site and property. This is a great opportunity to visit an ongoing adobe build. Asking questions is encouraged!

Topic Overview: mixing mud in a wheelbarrow, mixing mud in a barrel mixer, intro to adobe parapet wall construction, scaffolding safety, high-wall mortar & block logistics

PLEASE NOTE: Due to site safety protocols this event will be limited to a maximum of 6 participants.
