[quote:newgranny:MV8xMzU5OTY5XzIyNDI3NzA4XzJEREFEOUM1] [quote:WMK] [quote:WMK] [quote:newgranny] I have been studying this for several years. I am now looking for land so I can do this. i have friends who will help me, my hubby however is reticent. lol he just doesn't like to work with his hands much. but I think i am grinding him down...heheh so ready for this!!! thanks for the fresh inspiration! [/quote] your welcome! I suggest taking him to a workshop. They are a lot of fun and the learning process is very easy. He will learn the technique and it won't be so intimidating. [/quote] Oh, I forgot to mention that I met two ladies and they are both sisters in there mid 60's who both lost their husbands. They were retired and they decided to take a cob building workshop to do something with their time. The one sister's husband just passed and the other sister wanted to distract her with a project to help her cope a bit better. Anyway, after the cob building workshop, they both built their own home in the gulf coast. They built 100% of the walls by themselves, they installed all the electrical conduit, and only had help with the roof, plumbing and a bit of the finishing work like cupboards. They were really neat ladies. [/quote] NICE. thank you!!! keep this thread fresh!!! more need to see this. :) [/quote]

I photographed many cob homes in Canada and video taped a work shop for an alternative home documentary. If you do most of the work yourself, which is very possible you can have a beautiful home built for 10,000 to 20,000. This is what most people will spend on rent in a year.
I put some photos of few of the homes together. I hope you enjoy it:
