STOCKING ADOBE
BEFORE WE CAN START LAYING ADOBE, WE HAVE TO GET AS MANY ADOBE
IN THE HOUSE AS WE CAN BEFORE THE WALLS START TO GET IN THE WAY.
THE BOARDS NAILED TO THE CORNERS OF THE STEM ARE CALLED SPEED LEADS. WE RUN A LEVEL STRING LINE FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND LAY OUR ADOBE
TO THIS LINE. WHICH MEANS WE DON'T HAVE TO LEVEL AND PLUMB EVERY
SINGLE ADOBE. EACH ADOBE WEIGHS ABOUT FORTY POUNDS SO
WE DON'T WANT TO HOLD ONTO IT FOR VERY LONG.
I'VE USED A LOT OF ADOBE FROM DIFFERENT SUPPLIERS, AND THESE
ARE CONSISTENTLY SOME OF THE BEST.
