    A cob community would be awesome. Rolling hills of cob homes. Each one completely unique in design from foundation to roof. Where I live the clay can be found in all different natural colors. Getting families together to build is empowering. I believe I would opt for the bobcat and spend more time being creative. : ) Thanks Alex!

      Who's to say people wouldn't want to spend their day making it for everyone? I'd love to play in mud all day and have it be functional

    One way to get your calluses off😁
    Looks like a nice grounding activity. And the clay will draw out any toxins from your feet/hands.
    This was a nice video showing us how to do this mixing step by step.
    Thank you

    You could have mixed it in one of those concrete mixers. I've seen someone do it, I just don't remember who it was.

    Do you find that therapeutic? It seems like it would be.

    Would a concrete mixer do the job?

  • @kierstynjohnson7794

    Can you add quick lime to it or does it not work with cob? Ik the Romans put it in their concrete so it would patch itself

    Portable generator, mixer, done

    • @thiscobhouse
      @thiscobhouse  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mortar mixers work fairly well for cob mixing, but it depends on the size of the mixer and how sticky your soil is.

    Why not use a portable cement mixer?

    I had to get my sunglasses and put them on once you took off your crocks dude! Your feet were blinding me! lol!

    Next time, put one bucket on each corner of the tarp, and the straw bale on the 4th. Wind won't blow it.

    can we mix cob mud with mixer?

    where do you get the clay

    • @thiscobhouse
      @thiscobhouse  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You can usually get the clay from anywhere. Dig below the topsoil and you can use the subsoil to make cob usually.

    Will it hurt anything if the sand is full of cat turds ? LOL

    So in other words, you completely totally exhaust yourself making the equivalent of what? about 1 cubic foot? Maybe 2? I guess if one had years to build something ...or an army of people to help? Why not a shovel and wheelbarrow at least? Would that work?

    • @thiscobhouse
      @thiscobhouse  7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Nah, we use machinery to do this process. At least I like to. It makes it 100x faster and more efficient. But its good to know the foot mixing process to get a sense for making good cob material.

      Doug Chaney primitive technology

      Wheel barrow and an enxada.. Mix it and rub it into paste before transporting it to bucket forbuilding.
