Wattle & Daub is an earth building technique that's not often talked about these days. It's basically a thin cob wall built between post & beam and woven lattice. I don't normally recommend wattle & daub for exterior walls unless you live in a tropical climate. The walls are too thin for substantial insulation or thermal mass. But they're quick to build and work great for natural, non-toxic interior walls in any home or building.

It takes a lot of water, but cob can get erosion damage during construction. Check out this quick video to see what happened on my wall.

I wanted to post some of the photos from the Cob Hobbit House build. I was thinking of doing a live Q&A call for you to ask questions about this build, but let's start here...post any questions you have regarding this one. I have more case studies in the works. I'm currently compiling one for the Florida Cob Cottage and the Cob Quonset Hut. Spring projects are ramping up though, so I'm a bit behind on all the digital online work. Thanks for your patience!

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 😉

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.
