400sq ft Cobin Time & Cost Estimate?
@Sir Cobalot How long would you say it takes to build a 400sq foot palletable cobin with about 2-4 workers per day???? Aaaaand what are your general cost estimates (range) for a palletable cobin? I am making a plan for build right now and am hoping to build it with friends and family volunteer help in approximately 3 weeks (November... before the cold sets in. I am in Missouri), working 4-8 hours daily with 2-4 people at all times. I want to know if I am waaaaay off on my time estimates.... I have watch a lot of your videos but I don't have a good sense of how long things are taking with how much help 😅. Thank youuuuuu! I am so excited to build my little cobin.

I am really interested in how long it takes, we are also working to build something before it gets too cold. I am hoping something like 3 weeks to a month is a realistic estimate 🙃 When are you getting started with your build?
Learning late but better late than never
Hi. I've just sold my house and fled suburbia and am a little overwhelmed. I am determined to use my little nest egg to buy some property and build a small house. I have never even nailed two boards together, but am determined to avoid a mortgage. I can use all the help I can get.

Hi Tricia, good for you! Where are you looking to build? We (me, hubby, and cats) have land in East Tennessee where we are just starting out. So far we have a tent and a dream, so you and I are at similar places in our respective journeys.
Rainwater Collection
Hi, I am new to the community here :) I am also only a few months away from living mostly off grid--I will have access to power for charging batteries. I joined this community because I think the combination of pallets, straw, and cob is genius and I want to learn how to put it all together! Although I love the many benefits (and the beauty) of a living roof, I was wondering if anyone has built something like this with a metal roof for rainwater collection? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
