For The Love of Mud

Finally, some intelligent persons are regaining control of their building costs in N. America. No one 'owns' mud, clay, straw, sand, & wood itself... nor the 'idea' of a house... nor the 'idea' of Cob. Nature puts no price-tag on building materials other than the labor required to assemble them. Let's all take a moment, to appreciate what's been done so far, & the Creativity of those who are 'doing it'.

Chuckle.... glad you enjoyed it, but all thanks must go to those who are "doing-it" & making the photos available to the public. Here's something you might find even "more" interesting & less labor-intensive: try investigating Earthbag Building; lots of videos & sites already available to look into. Two others would be Parabolic Stressed Skin Building, & PaperCrete/Fibrecrete.

@arivera1971 no more than any other house,it depends on the design of the house as to where the water comes from.

what would be the cost of this kind of house? is there any problems like with animals making holes in the wall or foundation?/ like mole,rats, or such animals.? How you deal with the water do you get a water line put in or well..?? very interesting.
