Thank you so much for this information! Now I am pretty sure I know what I am supposed to do with my life and how I am meant to live, and I can't wait to get started! How do I get in touch with the cob cottage workshop???

Yeah this is really going to take off in America. I mean I myself am a home builder and all i can is Who wouldn't want to live in mud home. Just think of inspection process alone. If you ever did see an inspector you would basically have to kill him and chop him up and put him inside your mud home to get anything at all to pass any inspections.

sad to say, I understand your words. Once this stuff is plastered it works well. I would love to learn to build such a house. They seem to work well. They are not for everybody no doubt and i think that is what you are saying and I have to agree with you

I love to see more eco friendly homes as well. But This particular style. Im sorry, but not on this continent. There are building code requirements and health and safety requirements that this will never achieve. Ice homes are much more energy efficient but still use conventional framing methods. Just alot more protection and insulation. Adds about another 100,000 to the price of your home but cost 1/2 as much to live in

Pleae correcte me, I am asking for information and thanks for all of your help. Help me understand more clearly. Do you believe that Con houses are a bad idea for the nation as oppose to adobe or reathbag homes? Here is my sick idea, I know it takes time to build homes like this, i like them becuase they are potentially cheap, just use Earth, in a home like this, it appears that the labor cost is the most expensive thing.
