The adobe walls are up to the height were the bond beams are to be installed. The bond beam is a 6" x 10" beam that is attached to the top of the adobe wall to add stability. It can be made of either wood or concrete. In our case, we chose wood. Our bond beam will consist of a lamination of 3 rough cut 2"x10" fir beams. These will top all walls, windows and door openings, tying everything together. On top of the bond beam will be the 6"x10" ceiling beams.
Your photos are so good!
