  • She's a genius, getting people to pay her to come build her house.

  • 6:30 Where's Frodo?

  • oh this is my dream to build and live in a cob house out in nature!!!

  • In a country like Egypt where millions live using cob, the upper strata of the land (used for farming) is now gone. This is not a solution for the future unless you want to kiss farming goodbye.

  • I would love to find a home building course like this in North Carolina

  • haha this woman what is she doing....... use a pitch folk and your feet to build it 100 times faster even more so a jcb! and its not sand and clay as the bint of a presenter says its subsoil with a bit of clay in it with straw.. go cob wooooo!

  • Wow! I built my home and I love my home but suddenly, I'm envious!

  • I just love this way of living. I ordered the book The Hand-Sculpted House. I need to know more about Cobb. I guess the next step will be to take a course in this to gain the skills to start my own house....thanks for sharing.

  • Going to be building next year with cob around montreal, canada. I have some good playlists on my channel if you want more.

  • In the Netherlands cow dung is added

  • Im thinking of "cobstructing" a house in Argentina!

  • I am jealous of dirt

  • 21,689 awesome human beings have watched this video.

    There is hope for sure!

  • im gonna save up to build me a house!

  • that is so cool ^.^ but wouldn't you have a problem w/ ants and other tunneling critters getting in? and can it withstand tornadoes, earthquakes, heavy rains, mild to moderate floods, etc.?

  • the community Quaker way of getting together and building in a day...we need to go back to that. in england i wonderif it would be eaier as they still seem to have their village life going on. idk

  • ...super...

  • all the sudden i feel kinda stupid living in a house made out of fiberglass and cardboard(drywall)

  • How long will the straw bales last inside the walls once covered with cob? Any issues, mold, insects, rodents ect? Thanks great video

  • great video, well done :)

  • im gonna build myself a kick ass cob castle..

  • Currently looking for property here in california to build a family compound like this!!

  • Where Can I find someone with the Knowledge or a walk-along to do this.

  • @stevenfuchs1877 - if you like books "The Hand-Sculpted House" by Ianto Evans, Michael G. Smith, and Linda Smiley

    Slightly different cob style is covered in "Building With Cob: A Step-by-step Guide" by Adam Weismann and Katy Bryce - less earthquake info in this

    If you like a what the heck sort of style Becky Bee's "Cob Builders Handbook" is very friendly, a little hippie dippie, but it's a nice way to get your toes wet.

    Google cob building classes in your area, you might find someone nearby.

  • Brilliant video. Thank you. I'm planning on starting my cob house spring, year after next.

  • Truely righteous!

  • I love you! What a charming woman, so cheery and positive. Thank you so much for this video.

  • Brilliant! :)

  • Amazing. Hope to build one this summer.

    God bless!
