Building a COB house in 2 phases.
Hello to everyone, my husband, our daughter, and I have a nice piece of land where we are starting our project to self-build a COB house. We'd like to ask you all about your experience connecting a new section of a COB house to an existing one. We want an 8-meter x 14-meter house, but we can't build it all in one go, so we have designed the floor plan with two rectangles, one attached to the other. Our doubt arises when connecting the walls of the first construction to the new one ..... any ideas? Thank you all for this great community 😉

Hi! 🙂
Hey from North Carolina
Hey everyone. I recently found your channel online and I’m seriously interested in this building style. I live in Biscoe, NC which is close to the Sandhills. The dirt here is a mix of red clay and sand. Sounds perfect for this type of building. I’m excited to learn more about this and I hope to share some valuable insights. I’m currently working on my plans for a 3 room structure with bathroom and kitchen. I wanna stay small but efficient. Thank you for this space to share.

@Amber Lunsford Welcome from a fellow Skooler😀 So glad you're here!
Just got our footers poured!
Finally got our footers poured for our house! Feels like so much work has gone into making this happen! The next step will be building the brick stem wall. Any brick laying tips??

Passive Cooling - A Cheap and Effective Way to Cool Your Home
A student shared this video with me. Would you install a cooling system like this if you could?

I absolutely would. Heating/cooling bills are a beast. This is like running a root cellar thru your entire home. The sealed glycol system seems like the best of both worlds though, no permit required, no radon issues.... And radon has to be addressed safely. This would be a project that I'd seek professional guidance to take on, but it's worth it. Overall, I think the underground root cellar needs to have a resurgence in building because they seem to have so many uses! Another vid to save. 👍🏾Thanks for sharing Alex! 🙂
