Cob Building
Hello Everyone! I just wanted to share something that I’m super passionate about: Building Cob Homes! Last November I went down to El Salvador and took a workshop to learn how to build a house with natural materials. I wrote a blog about it here: https://myhomesteadingadventure.wordpress.com/
Then I came home and helped a friend organize and and construct a Pallet Cob Casita on her land in Cornville, AZ. Now I’m fixing to teach homesteaders how to build with Cob.
