The Year of Mud: Building a cob house Rotating Header Image

A brief update

Crappy weather the past week – clouds and rain and minimal amounts of sunshine make for dreary days and little electricity in the Common House, hence a total lack of updates this week, even though there is news to tell.

Today I am headed out to Oregon for the annual Natural Building Colloquium, a regular gathering of natural builders. I’ve never been to one before and I’m greatly looking forward to it. I’ll be in OR for at least a week, if not more, because I’m hoping to meet up with folks and do some traveling around the area, perhaps touring all of the great cob and natural building happenings in the state.

We’ll see what happens. But don’t expect any updates for a while! Off I go…

    This house is not very conventional . But I can see how this would work as a house. We will be glad to give or get some helpful hints. TopContractors.

    Have you seen the interior lights made from 2 liter pop bottles??? The full bottles work as a lens and bring light into the house!

    I just discovered them and immediately thought about you and your charming little house.
