Hey Sean,

Good to hear from you!

The more the years go by, the more I become impressed with the "old" traditional systems and our new knowledge of them. I also grow less and less impressed with what modernity has to offer and the damage it does to human and planet health while making billions for large industries...

Lite straw clay slip infill methods (and related others) are nothing more than traditional "insulative" methods of cobb and related "wattle-daub" work. As an infill and/or overlay system they are proving each year to not only be efficient, but healthier and more in balance with our goals as sustainable builders (and Timberwrights.) I see these systems being "revitalized" with modern understanding while still incorporating traditional wisdom. Set to work in concert with other "permeable materials" like mineral wool board/batt we can achieve highly effective thermal envelopes, without issues of trapped interstitials moisture all to common with the "airtight" concepts...
