We had some friends over on the first day of the week for a straw stuffing party. The previous week I bought two sheets of 3/4” plywood for another two sets of forms. I also mixed up about 60 gallons of clay slip in preparation.
We started on the wall between the living room and master bedroom next to the two sections the boys and I did earlier. We also worked on the wall beneath the stairway, the other interior wall in the master bedroom, and a couple of bathroom walls. By the end of the day, we’d completed most of the walls that we’d started.
On the next day, the boys and I were able to finish all of the walls that we’d started during the work party. Then on Tuesday afternoon, our whole family worked on one wall upstairs. Then, yesterday afternoon, we worked on another wall upstairs. We ought to be able to complete the rest of the walls in that bedroom and storage area (on the east end of the house) in another afternoon’s worth of work. I’ll share photos of our progress upstairs later.

How much of a sound barrier does the slip straw provide? Jennifer
Thanks for the comments.
Jennifer, it does provide a nice amount of sound barrier, more than a drywall wall, for sure.
I was checking back in to see if there were any new pictures. My wife and I have recently started homesteading. We are also learning the importance of Yahweh's Feasts and HIS Sabbath. We would love to visit your "little" homestead sometime!
