[GSBN] Catalan vaults

[Timok33]

Hi Chris,

A great plasterer who worked with me (and Tracy Theirot) this year has taugh Nubian vault building. He is a great guy and super thorough in his workmanship. He just headed to his property in Mexico for the winter but I'd be happy to give you contact off list if you like.

We talked about vaults at length but I'm not sure what all styles he has built. 

I've been working out a section for a structural insulated vault (SIV) that I'll send you off list too.

And happy holidays too all.

Tim

Please excuse brevity and typos as I use my mobile device

It's a small structure (18 x 22 ft) so it won't be a long build, but I always like to have someone knowledgeable in charge when doing things I haven't done before.
