Are you able to put termite plates on top of pier blocks? I think there's an extra paver that goes on top of the block, could ant capping go under that and on top of the block?
How many tonnes of clay would I need to cob my building? It's 11 m in diameter, and it's around 2 m tall. The clay is around 70% sand to 30% clay. It's very sticky. I got about 20 ton dropped
@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.
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!
Would love to meet some of you there, I’m planning my trip now, I’ll likely stay 10-14 days so I will travel on afterwards or pickup work to help out at other properties I’m Alec, I’m a certified general contractor, designer and musician! I’ve been in construction since I was 8 years old and wanting to transition to working WITH the Earth instead of against her! Let’s connect and work together 🖤⚔️🖤
