My New Kiln Shed

I have spent the last 12 months building a new shed for my kilns. Last year I went on a cob building course, when I got home I wanted to build something in cob so I tore down the old wooden shed that was housing my kiln (I should have done this years ago) and started my new kiln shed project. It ended up being a part cob building, it is a wooden structure (mostly oak), with wattle and daub panels that are covered in lime plaster, and a turf roof. It has been hard work, but great fun working on such a big scale and using semi familiar materials. It is not completely finished but it has a really solid feel and I am not as worried about firing my electric kiln in it as I was with the old rickety wooden shed it replaced.
