U. K. Cob

cobs didnt originate from england , ancients use to make cob houses to live in thousands years ago and some still do today, some of their houses still stand, the way was put aside for some time but its here again now, wonderfull video

Thank You! I truly enjoyed your video.
I detest the N.A. rules by the 'norm', where one MUST have wealth to do anything really unique.

Even though there are examples of old Cob building methods employed at various times in the US, our "native" equivalent was the Sod house, which was made by heaping layers of prairie sod together to form walls. While these houses are fairly solid they don't last the hundreds of years that Adobe and Cob houses do. Most of our "anti-cob" building codes are really "anti-sod" and designed to keep idiots from living in dangerous housing. Hopefully they'll get the message that cob is different.

what about bringing eco houses to poor impoverished unhealthy lower working classes.

Yeah. Sometimes I wish everything didn't have a political twist. Cob was probably phased out in the US because of free (or cheap), supposedly abundant trees. Therefore the US doesn't know all that much about building with mud mixtures.

awesome video! this may hopefully be the one that pushes my wife over the edge to my building our home from cob. lol thanks and keep up the good work!

great vid!

Thx much, that was a treat to see; they so make sense, and are warmly inviting :)

Youtube doesnt let me post links whatsoever! Or I must be doing something wrong.

That house on that show was so breathtaking I fell in love with it! I would love to live in one. I didn't expect the price to be so high though. But it was stunning!

hmmm...you might not want to click some of those links on that page, as my internet has blocked them as attack sites but the actual page is ok. I got the info I wanted from it. Lots of pics.
