Ianto Evans, his work and his promotion of sustainable lifestyle, is truly commendable. The practical sources, the philosophy of action he employs is a valuable footprint we will benefit from making as large and impactful as possible.
I love how you give these homes names. You guys are great at making these homes come alive through giving them distinctive characteristics, and personalities.
I have to go visit this place. I live in the high deset in Bend so is only 200 mls from me. Cool place. It rains alot there and I am suprised to see someone building with cob as I thought it couldn't get wet?
Far out. I don't know how I stumbled on this video... but I love building and interesting ideas... maybe someday I will be able to swap ideas with you hippies. :)
I love the way these look on the inside, they have a warm feeling to them.But I have to ask this burning question,why are the roofs so low on these houses?I am 6ft 3 and it would seem like i would get a stiff neck walking around inside one of these
Can you cob over cement blocks? Say turn a garage into a cob house? Wonder how you could do the cement floor as well to keep it moisture free, cob over that too? Need to see one being built....
Eh; Dear 'Optimistic lock': Some questions are better not asked, and Paul Wheton: Some data are better not revealed to general public, especially not specific location!? Apart from that I'm happy to see this shaky update of this amazingly inspiring place.
Sorry if I asked a wrong question. There are parts of the US where codes and inspections are optional, so that should not be a big deal, hope the society comes around quick, would be great if we all built that way. Till then, how does one ensure safety? As with any building technology, safety can be a concern.
Paul, in the "video manager" section of youtube there is an "enhancements" tool with a "stabilize" feature. It will work wonders st taking out the shakes in this video. Oh, and just loving the "Tiny House" playlist. Thanks for sharing.
Wow I love these cob houses so earthy (giggle sorry couldn't resist) they remind me of houses that hobbit s elves and other woodland creatures would live in. A great way to protect the environment by living in it. How would one get electricity and how is insulation in these?
Lovely place, but let's not spread false information: It's "North America School of Natural Building"; Not an 'ecovillage'...as only 2-3 people lives there full time. BTW: I used to live in same valley, truely a lovely place on Earth.
Have a look at what this Brittish lad just did: naturalhomes org -Look for 'charlieshouse' Perhaps it's time for a trip to Wales, eh? Good luck on your quest.
Why don't they use hemp as in hempcrete, they could make solid structures and still have that earthy look, its a shame that a plant is illegal and we prescribe morphine all the time.anyways hemp for society

Lovely. We just moved to Oregon and are going to the village next weekend! Hooray!
All of the walls are solid cob. We talk about this sort of thing all the time at the forums at permies
I have a new camera and have gotten much better. Have you seen my "500 hot showers" video?

Yes this is a great way of life. I love those kind of structures
Wow, the homes have a very inviting feel to them. I wonder, are they built to code, and have they passed any sort of inspection?

it's near coquille. Off in the woods a bit.
I so want to build some structures like this..I love the garden wall!
I love cob homes and intend to have one someday. I'm in WA state near Port Townsend. Next time I'm down that way I'd like to stop by.

How does the building permit and certificate of occupancy process work for these houses?
@ESUTERURE we talk about that sort of thing all the time in the forums at permies.com

stabilize process activated
Beuatiful place. But why to move the camera so fast? I got kind of dizzy and couldn't it watch till the end.
Coquille is my hometown! I haven't been back in years. What part of town is this in?
Huh. Where the heck is this in Coquille? I've never heard of not seen it.
God i would love to move there and get off the bills and stresses of my shitty life. :(
How would someone contribute to building a cob home there so they can live there too?
parts of it have been there for many years. I'm sure the rest of it will remain also.
the whole planet should be built as such
Please tell me this place still exists
i'm pretty sure it does.
This place would have fired my imagination as a kid!
I want to build a mud house!
WOW......IM IN LOVE.......this is where I want to go.....From my money pit from the 1920's.....Inefficient piece of garbage.....and oh yah....300k
It's at the end of Rink Creek rd.
Not trying to be clever about it, just considering adopting it myself.
