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