  • What part of the country is this house? Could this work in areas like Anchorage?

  • In Oregon. I've never been to Alaska, but I think that straw bales would be more appropriate there, to provide more insulation.

  • Thanks for this.

    I am planning to make a solo cob house and I now know it will be possible to do myself!

    yeay!

    thank you,

  • we have it backwards here. Cob is the far superior way to build. silly perceptions people have sometimes, seeing a cookie cutter house as prettier or somehow better. Here in AZ I am going to start a small one room once the barn is done and can't wait to start. the clay is excellent here and there is plenty of it and sand and also juniper. I was unsure I would be able to do it solo, as I probably will, hopefully before winter and then I saw this. Thanks for telling the story.

  • Great vids.

  • I just love this, heatwarming. very much so.

  • That makes sense to me. I'll need to make sure I master waterproofing since it's pretty wet in some areas. There's a rain forest up there. Wrangle Island is a paradise but it gets 90" of rain. I'll have to see if they have clay there or what kind of dirt it is. Thanks.
