Resurfacing and Protecting My EARTHEN FLOOR | Building with Natural Materials 

This is the final installment of my earthen floor redo. In this video we see how the final cob floor turned out. I reused the old floor material for most of the floor, but for this last surface layer mixed up a whole new batch of fresh plaster. Once the layer dried thoroughly I applied linseed oil.
Linseed oil will act as a protector because the oil can dry and solidify, making a traffic proof smooth floor for everyday living. If you do it right, you will have a surface that you can walk on and use like you would any other hard floor, but it has the feel of something softer, like cork.
This natural building project was done at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage in northeastern Missouri. I love building with natural materials because it's less toxic, it has less embodied energy, and everything is biodegradable.
