who else was looking for children of bodom lol i would love children of bodom in my house

[odin422]

what is the name of this documentary?

[SuperLillylu]

In Britain there are an estimated half million inhabited cob houses, some dating back to the early 13th century and as most people know it rains here....a lot. So there must be something in it..

[rmcdaniel423]

With proper maintenance, cob structures can last for centuries.

[Achbar]

I would love to learn to make a home from Cob. How much cheaper can you make a home form Cob as oppose to standard materials such as brick? Are these homes cheaper to build over all?

[dailyjohn2]

I would say yes is much cheaper than conventional building but the trade off is time. The more time you can personally put in, the lower the cost. The more mechanized you go the higher the costs but it is well worth it, environmentally as well as aesthetically.

[Achbar]

I just found out about Cob houses like last year by watching Dirty Jobs. I would love to learn to make these houses. I am still looking for a workshop in NC. Adobe and Rammed Earth homes would be great as well

[wheelori814]

@Achbar the majority of the money spent if you do the cob part yourself is plumbing (if you have it) electric (if you want it) roof, flooring. The cob itself is just dirt, clay, and straw. Depending on the size of the house you make (smaller is better of course) it is wayyyyyyyyy cheaper than a "home of today". I would use a composting toilet, and have a well dug with handpump inside and out.

[BLACKROCKCCITY]

When will this doc be finished?

[dailyjohn2]

I ran into some deep personal problems that keep me from this project but not my own personal work on cob. so to answer your question " I'm not sure".

[BLACKROCKCCITY]

I am sorry to hear that. Do what you need to do. What I see so far is immensely inspiring, so I thank you.

[Enviroman101]

I salute those out there who dream of a green home and aren't afraid to go after this dream. I hope to follow your examples and will keep researching and sharing videos like this until I share my own.

[eicebleu]

I really like that house at 1:10!

[dailyjohn2]

That house is in Pennsylvania

[Rockonchick2]

learning teaching nature home that might be the way to get close to the heart of living it more to discover great home that save others from destroying taking too much from mother earth believe this is most nature way to grow

[uditit]

this is a great video. I want to watch the rest! :D

[dailyjohn2]

New work has begun on the documentary and things are definitely happing again. I am looking towards late spring to finish. There is so much amazing and beautiful footage that I shot, and so many fantastic people met along the way that I really must get this piece out there! There are so many great sequences.

[GraemeOfCawdor]

I would like to see this documentary that this is excerpt from. does anyone know where to get a copy of it?

i think it is called :the house as living sculpture

[jennabenaroo]

I hope this is the future of home building.

[Piratejenny25]

I would love a cob house oneday I'm guessing its not that exspensive but how do you find someone who knows how to do this

[porsdottir]

Buy a book and it's easy to build one yourself. Start off with something small like a bench or something. Must warn you though, I've heard it is very labour-intensive.

[dusteroo]

I'm thinking, depending on what you want to build, that will determine how much money is spent on a cob home.

you can easily build a cob home using all raw materials, not spending a dime on it .

I'm seeing that the true test is 'how resourceful is the builder before the builder needs to buy materials to make up for what he can't build as desired..'

[apolloniavitelli]

I will be saving my money so I can have a cob of my own one day. I love how customizable it is. (i'm a bit of a recluse so it's perfect!)

[BAYB52]

i watched this video over and over again from it's the beautiful footage to it's beautiful music. it gives you a feeling of hope that something CAN be done.... that if we try a little harder we can live as one with the earth. and her great gifts
