Haha. A few weeks ago, a woman from PARADE Magazine contacted me about the grain bin renovation here at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage. With my email response, I included a link to this website, and the writer decided to feature GOBCOBATRON instead of the grain bin home.
So now 70 million people have read about me (’Ziggy [...]

My cob house featured in PARADE Magazine
The Year of Mud expands
The comments I received on my earlier post seemed to be enough to sway me towards combining this website with my kitchen construction blog, so except many (and more frequent) posts about building the bale-cob kitchen here in the future! For the sake of my own sanity and time, this seems to be the best [...]
Question for readers: Combining kitchen building blog with The Year of Mud?
I’ve been pondering a possibility for the past week or so. Last year, I started up a new blog dedicated to my latest building project, a sub-community kitchen here at Dancing Rabbit that I’m working on with a few other folks. However, I’ve been finding it difficult to want to maintain two separate websites, although [...]
Sustainablog and the Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage Blogathon

Check out the sustainablog homepage for new blog posts over the next 24 hours and consider contributing to the cause! You may even see [...]
GOBCOBATRON Snow Model Houses
I got an email from DR friends Tony and Rachel who made this funky little snow mockup of my house. The first GOBCOBATRON snow home! (Note the little snow cob bed, too… or would that be an iqliq in this case?)
OT: My new blogging job
Just a random and slightly off-topic post here to say that I am now blogging at sustainablog, an environmental news blog that’s been around for a number of years now. I have been freelance blogging for the past three years for a number of websites, but hopefully this will work out to be a longer [...]
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 [...]
Days away from moving in
Apologies for a recent lack of updates, but I’ve been away for over two weeks and recently returned home. But I am now days away from moving in after oiling my earthen floor over the weekend.
Expect more updates very soon about finish earthen plaster, laying and oiling the finish earthen floor, and moving in!
(p.s. The [...]
All that remains…
At this point, all that remains before I move into my new house is finishing and sealing the earthen floor, doing the interior final plaster work, and installing a skylight.
The plaster work will probably take the longest length of time among these three things, since I want to do a bunch of tile mosaics inside [...]
