Building and living in my first cob house
Welcome! I hope you'll follow along as I continue to build my first cob house. Please consider subscribing to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
This morning we had a mini photo shoot for a possible magazine cover image. Thankfully the weather was just lovely. It was nice to see the house slowly lit up by the beautiful morning sun… If we’re lucky, this photo will actually make the cut. Thanks to Stephen for the photo!
More to come later…
Hullo. I am Brian Liloia, but I am also called Ziggy. I'm a 26-year-old currently living at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage. In April of 2008, I began building my own cob house, and on July 11, 2009, I moved into the finished home. Here I have documented the entire cob building process, and continue to share information about living in an earthen home, and now my latest project, a group kitchen. This is the Year of Mud. The experience continues.

You guys are so awesome! I love catching up with what you are up to! Great picture!
I was reading a blog called Canadian Family Robinson and they are in the process of building a Cob house. We are moving to Northern Ontario where there will be a lot of snow in the winter. Can you have a cob house in the snow? I am trying to find info on that. We would like to build a house off the grid and trying to figure out what material would be best.
Thank you
Ziggy man
