Just moved into a cob house, self built after watching your videos. It is an inspiration to see your journey. Hope to see more of your cob house builds .
@@nicoledoucet6125 for the inside of the house, it was for color reasons! White/light clay is harder to source where I am and we wanted the house to be brighter. Lime plaster allowed us to have very light walls. In the end, they also protected us from termite mounds on the walls too because they can burrow through earthen plasters
@@ajagava2063 this depends on how the house is designed! Some will last a few years and others will last hundreds of years! You need to build it properly for the climate
@@nicoledoucet6125 it takes some muscle but can be done! You can see how strong the wall is in my shower videos where I cut out the shelving. Chips away with some effort!
@@turiyapanama thank you for your replies! I just finished volunteering on a cob small studio structure here in the interior of BC Canada, first build but have watched many videos (thanks also to you) and read many books but nothing like DOING! 😁

@@channel367 oh wow!!! That is truly amazing, congratulations!! Many more builds to come!!
It's good that you speak and explain. Would appreciate a lot of you show more how to make.
@@ashse6791 I will have workshops online and in-person in 2025!
How long does it take to cure the walls to plaster the walls?
3 weeks for the mud wall and about 1 week for the lime plaster!
Thank you for showing us the tough days too❤
Love you videos and your journey😊
Curious why you chose lime plaster instead of clay plaster?

@@nicoledoucet6125 I agree 100 percent!! I learned much more by actually doing it. Love that you are going for it!!
What will be the cost of 5 cents house with three bed room house
@@ajagava2063 this depends on your country and where you get materials! It can be very cheap if you can find recycled materials
