  • Miguel takes us on a tour of his gorgeous cob house, as well as several other earth structures that he's built on his property. He also explains the process of making adobe bricks by using the earth on the property. Costs to build a house like this is less than $1000. "Brown is the new green."

    I stumbled across your channel, and I'm thrilled. I'm 63 @ disabled living in a mobile home that is literally falling apart. I'm terrified it's going to burn down around me some night. Seeing this, I'm going to try and get someone to help me build a little place for me to live where I'm safe. I'm on disability, but this is very cost effective. Im very excited about this, hope for a home at last! I live in tn , hopefully our dirt works along the same way yours does. Yours looks much drier, i live on a mtn. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

    Born, bred and raised in the Southwest. Adobe’ is my life and every Adobe’ home I’ve lived in is the best kind of building material for a living space. Cool in the heat of the summer and warm in the coldest of winters. Native cultures and ancient people had it right all along… 😊

    I know Miguel, he is a staple in our community. I haven been in and worked on many of these structures for learning and fun. He is def the cob guy. It’s such a delight to see him getting his beautiful structures out to more of the world. What a treat to see! 🎉 He didn’t mention that when you are inside these structures there is a distinct feeling you get, like a warm embrace from Mother Earth. I don’t know how else to describe it. Congrats Miguel! I hope people contact you to build one for them. A home for $1,000 is something most people could use now a days. They are truly something special. I’m so proud 😊.

    Dear Miguel,
    Your buildings are more than dignified. You are an inspiring
    artist. Man, i absolutely wanted to live in your spaces. So COZY. Oh man:
    The Sauna: Everyday: i wish.
    Your spacious walk in shower with removable roof is just a wonderful space to enjoy nature. Your buildings are True Living Art: inside & out
    BeYouTiFul. 🥰 Lovely
    What very clever use of heat inside outside! Man to have the sense of Hearth & Home with built in heat under the pillow and along the bed is Genius!
    What delightful use of glass and abalone shell, is stunningly beautiful. The living housetop
    is so cool. Seems like every detail has been thought of
    in your beautiful architecture.
    I just totally enjoyed this tour you gave us today. Excellent!
    Thank you.

      Hi There, Miguel here...Glad you like the Hobbit Cobin! I built this about 12 years ago now and I havent done any maintainance on it at all. The three rules to ensure the longevity of a cob structure is that it has a good pair of boots, a jacket and a hat, namely, a foundation, plaster and roof, which this does... Yes indeed, Brown is the new Green!

    @dirtydan1861 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My grandparents house in northern Mexico was built like a country house - room by room, as money allowed for each room to be built. The first room was built when they didn't have much, out of Adobe sealed with plaster.
    The rooms built later from rebar and concrete are probably stronger, but they are brutal in the summer or winter without heating or cooling. The adobe room is the most liveable one in the house, by far.

    10:57 I suggest you put a metal basket or container on top of it, fill it with big stones (may look nice, for the interior, if you wish), sprinkle/pour the water on the stones, not the barrel. I suggest beer, instead of water ;) The hops' aroma is both, very "woody" and green. For a cheaper use, old bread, fermented with some spices of ur desire, can be a cheaper substitute. But there you have no hops aroma. You could even add commercial yeasts to the bread fermentation, if you don't drink it.
