    for those that are skeptical of cob in a rainy environment there are cob cottages with thatched roofs in England that are over 500 years old

      Rammed Earth is the oldest method of building walls... And originated in Europe...
      Basically this is made from mud and straw,. Rammed into forms for making large bricks... And it's been in existence for around $700 years..
      In England and Germany they are called Tudor Houses...

      I believe everyone is as amazing as her. It just takes, time, effort, and willingness to learn and grow with the help of others. Some of us are just too wrapped up in our own drama stories, and just concentrating on survival. Others are putting their efforts into other passions, that's what makes everyone different and interesting.

    This is absolutely gorgeous.

Just love this. One of my favorite tiny homes, and love it even more because she built it herself. And hahaha, "My dad was swearing a little bit" and she has a PEE toilet in her bedroom. Freakin' love this woman! :) So chill.

      A really smart idea to put a toilet in the house, especially upstairs in the bedroom area. No one wants to have to go down a flight of stairs, through the house and outside to get to the outhouse in the middle of the night in good or bad weather.

  • @Faithful_Tribe

    Thank you so much for featuring a cob house. So many get hooked into the 'tiny house/bus paradigm', but cob is a really affordable option for those who prefer country life.
    Remember that you can host a workshop ['educational work party'] to possibly help with a lot of the work, and cut your costs significantly-even if you hire an experienced cob builder to run the workshop [for a set amount *or percentage of the student fees 'over a certain amount'].
    Mixing cob with a bobcat I've heard is ideal for those who want to speed up the process; a tractor with a bucket can also work, but might take longer than the nimble bobcat.
    Cob Cottage Company is a good place to look for workshop links.
    Regards.

      yLeprechaun There are some that are 500 years old in Europe . Cob is an amazing organic material that dries as hard as cement but minus the toxicity of cement. She did an amazing job on her home.

      Yes! As Marie says, with a good roof (and foundation) cob can last 300/400 years plus 💕

      Do people still live in them?

      If you know where is one or how to find them, it would be great to have someone who travels that far like Kirsten Dirksen with Fair Companiies take us on a video tour on Utube!

      She mentioned they did do that-the Mud Girls did a workshop as part of the building process.
      Best workshop has its practical application.
      Put the word iut. Search for a build. Offer to help. Show up at a build. Mutual benefit.

    Love to see cob house solutions in rain forests! I live in a temperate rain forest as well and constantly waffle on whether or not cob would be a good option here. The design with a double roof and wooden upper story is fantastic! Definitely one of my favorite tiny houses I've seen to date.

      @Emiliapocalypse 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      masakasama everything you said is true. I remember watching documentaries and being so sad to hear how the hippies turned into yuppies. But that knowledge about why so many back-to-the-landers failed helped me make my plans more realistic. It’s heaps and heaps of work! When I mention wanting to go and live out somewhere to homestead as much as possible, friends sometimes say “oh that sounds so nice and relaxing, I’d love to do that” I just nod and think to myself “it’s gonna be more work than anyone realizes, and probably not as ideal as you think!” But knowing it’s going to be extremely hard work, is one step closer towards actually accomplishing the work necessary and not backing down when things get rough.

      It's an awesome idea, but at the moment the cost of those systems are so outrageously expensive that the amount of time it would take to pay for itself is ridiculous. The only real advantage to that system is reducing the carbon footprint, not to say that's a small thing, but until that system and others like it, can get further along in the mass distribution and marketing of them, they will stay out of reach for most people. Hopefully videos like this will help bring awareness to those kind of systems.
