The 8th course begins - but first we have to build window forms and set our first electrical outlets.

So awesome to see the layout of the windows and the"furniture" in the house! Very neat idea about the rounded side of the table! 👍🏾

Be prepared to be inundated with letters and pictures! 😃

I was wondering why you didn't just run your wire now instead of later and having to dig out to get to the sides/back? My engineer husband suggested running armored cable, PVC conduit or metal wire trays/ways before laying the 8th course. Any of that would have saved you the work of trying to get to the gang boxes later. I know you have been getting advice from locals who are also using the hyper adobe bags, so there must be a reason for not running wire or using conduit now.

It'll be a long time before we're ready to run cable. No real reason to have it exposed to weather and potential damage while working in the meantime. Getting to the back of the boxes will just require a quick chisel and doesn't cost us anything extra :)
