| after the first layer set, we took off the mold and reconstructed it on top to build the wall higher. |
| Once the tabby was mixed we poured it into a wooden mold we had built into the ground. |
| Tabby is built out of lime and oyster shells. the traditional way to go about retrieving the lime is to burn oyster shells. Tabby is not common today, there are only a handful of people who know how to do it. in this particular picture we are mixing the oysters shells, quick lime, and water. Quick lime can be dangerous because once it touches moisture it becomes extremely hot. |
