Sage found his materials right on the property — cob, wood, all free stuff. Only paid for screws, glue, and silicone. And honestly the house looks really nice! $200 is a rare situation, but it proves the $400K/30-year-mortgage thing isn't the only option. I can relate to his tiny living situation too. It really connects you back to the outside world by not being cooped up indoors for everything. What's your target budget for your build?

Here are some photos to preview for the case study on the Florida Cob Cottage build we finished a few years back. This one was an interesting build, and a lot of good lessons were learned for huge improvements. Florida is a tough place to build cob, not because of the weather, but because the soil has very little amount of clay content. I'll get into more specifics in the video case study.

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 😉

For inside the house on an earthen floor, how do you attach the walls to the floor? Do i need to embed wood or concrete into the floor for 2x4 interior walls?

Think cob building only works in dry climates? Think again! In this video, I'm busting the most common myths about cob construction in wet and humid environments.
