Homemade Cob: Making & Applying to SuperAdobe Structure

Visit: http://www.mylittlehomestead.com




"Moving from the City to the County"

After seeing several videos and reading about Cob we finally found a reason to use it. Wow! What a great building material. It is easy to apply, works like stucco (without the need for chicken wire), is strong, durable and inexpensive. We wouldn't of believed it could work if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes. Even kids can participate and are somewhat experts in the area of dirt.

Thanks for Watching :)

What are in those white bags though?

@spastikman They are continuous sandbags. If you would like to look it up and see that particular structure it's titled "Earthbag/SuperAdobe House Construction". :)
