Welcome, Brothers and Sisters!

What if I told you that you could build your very own beautiful home with the resources right beneath your feet, on a budget of a few thousand dollars, and never have to live with a mortgage?

Use the earth that God has given us to build our homes.

Do some research on cob buildings and sustainable living. There are tons of great videos here on Youtube. Here are two that you might enjoy watching:

  • The mortgage lenders and bankers absolutely hate these homes...they do all they can to sway the local planning commissions that these buildings are unsafe. This is just another attempt to keep us perpetually in debt by "outlawing" unconventional homes for out own protection. Only conventional dwellings that give banks 20 to 40 years of income are suitable.

    That's what it's all about folks, money....and how to take it from us as long as we live.

  • We love it brother Alex....glory to the King!!!

  • @Mikdeelo Good luck.

  • @cocobrownallaround 'The Hand-Sculpted House', by Evans, Smith and Smiley. The cobbers bible, ;)

    I'm in the process of dumping (so to speak) $450K of debt 'they' are going to get a miximum of $80K of unprotected assets. I am looking at it as a cheap way out! It would take $1M and two lifetimes to pay that debt back! When the dust settles I will be moving to one of those 'pockets of freedom' (as they call it in the book above) and building a cob home. Have a good life!

  • Dammit, now I want to be a cobbit!

  • This is one of the best videos I've seen on here. Wow. I had no idea that stuff like this was even possible. Outstanding.

  • This is So inspiring! GREAT video! I aim to have a cob house!

  • That's beautiful!

  • The picture at 2:15 is beautiful, do you know which building it is,and where? Thank you from the UK (where cob building has been used for hundreds of years, but it's a shame there isn't more of it).

  • Great! There have been whole Queendoms built on cobbricks in Western Africa!

  • Reminds me of the flinstones!
