Imagine grade schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges all focusing on creating a sustainable natural healthy society, in harmony with nature. Man it would be so epic what we could create.

Every one in my family are just plain impressed with me. I'm 67. I just have 0 money lol and my dirt is free and so is the hay because it grew in the lot next to me by accident. And my dirt has the perfect amount of sand clay!! I'm doing this alone however over lath made of vástago stems from palm. It's an experiment so far. And so far is looking good!

when i was a child in England living on my dads farm we lived in a house made of Wiltshire chalk clay horse hair and hazlewood wattle s its like a panel of hazel branches interwoven about 4 by 8 ft that house was built in 1684 it contained a fresh water well in the kitchen an twelve plus foot wide inglenook fireplace with all the cooking devices crane like device 6 grown men could sit around the fire when it was damped down a bit the exterior walls were 5 to six feet deep at ground level tapering to 3 feet at the eaves wheat straw thached roof wich my dad redone as he was a thatcher as well as a farmer that house is still standing today and i can recall mother actually started the fire for Christmas celebrations and kept it lit burning till new year's day was over

The part I loved and made me smile, was when he said he never signed a contract or had a firm deadline, it was gonna take as long as it took :)

My people have been building like that for 1000s of years, walked bearfoot and had health benefits for doing so. But we have been called uncivilized. With all this technology that u guys have u still behind when it comes to how nature works. Some of u guys start being humble and want to learn, I guess that's good. In the mean time we will wait for u to catch up with our technology. Yes im talking bout african great civilisation.

How gorgeous I can not wait to see this come to fruition for myself and other families

I told my brother about building with cob and he said " You want to live in a mud hut?". Lol most people don't get why this an amazing way to build your home.

Maybe a more accurate title would be, "Philosophies behind using cob as building material" instead of the current one. Judging from another comment, I wasn't the only one misled.

i wanna do a cob build so bad, maybe a fire pit to start! thank you to everyone of yall who are doing your part to harmonize us closer to nature. even just watching this video and informing yourself and opening your mind is a huge contribution! thank you and peace

I love how this video has been edited. Earthen homes are so intune with the real spirit of life and existence, we are indeed one with the earth and to build a home with hands and feet does indeed infuse the spirit of those who helped to build it. Earthen homes is definitely a trend I pray will continue to gain traction and the wide spread popularity it deserves.

Surely, I absolutely must build a mud house now. Living in a mud house surrounded by nature is just the thing that I want. Thanks guys for this great inspiring video.

This is amazing, I grew up with family that lived in the forest, our home was a mud-hut and I worked my self away from this and became aware of concrete house building with steel etc., which I worked hard to pay for with a 30yr mortgage. I worked at the Bank and so money was available and I now have a 2 storey building and I am still building. Now I want to go back and build a mud-hut that was my childhood days with freedom that we have. I love the coziness and the earth. Nice.

these homes look so welcoming and warm, very beautiful

This is really neat. I have always wanted to build my own house and now I think I would like to seriously give cob a try. I am going to do a lot more research on this, but it makes me excited.

love it can't wait to build mine

This whole series of videos is so great, we suggest all our students watch it. It reinforces everything we've taught for two decades. - Earthen Hand Natural Building

2:56 3 parts sand 1 part clay and 1-2 part straw. Now that is a standard formula for cob

Modern utopian dwelling! I love it!!!

I love natural beauty and nature. We need more earth homes.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL !!!! Notice how near all the people who participate in TRUE LIVING are the type of people you'd be blessed to be stuck with in a broke elevator 🤟🏻🤝🤜🤛

The best lil part where it's said "shake things up a lil bit" 🤣

I love the peace in these people's eyes.

It makes me really happy that you can do this in the Pacific Northwest.

THIS CHANGED MY LIFE THANKS!!! I KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO NOW

Agreeing with everything in this video. Thank you so much for the inspiration and hope! This is my life dream now.

This video deserves great praise.Thank You.

This is such an AWESOME Video. Thank you.

Very happy to see such a high quality video on cob

wish I had known about this 20 years ago. thank you for sharing . 😊 would love to build a small green house

This is so Awesome.thanks so much for sharing this with me 💖 from texas. God bless you always

You are so lucky to be able to build houses like these, and you have done such an awesome job, we built a strawbalehouse and its great but by choice I would have built with cob, but in Germany building loadbearing is not allowed and so its not the house I really, really love to live in, though its feeling good with all the clay inside, warm, dry, kind of quiet.... Thanks for giving that very inspiring video to the world , hope many more houses will be build this way and maybe I can finally find a place where I can build my dream.

This was an incredible video, you have inspired my wife and I, thank you. Love Pender island and Sunshine coast ❤

Did you know if you understood the power of clay you would be blown away just how amazing it really is.....

I love so many of the things said in this 😊

What a beautifully made video!! I have watched it multiple times, having saved it in a playlist. Thanks for making and sharing this.

Thanks for posting this video.

Awesome and inspiring, by some of the finest people. That's the way I'm going too!

Such a well-made, informative video. Thank you!!

um i thought this was going to inform me on building groundwork with cob lol

Beautiful homes

I'm hoping to build one of these someday ! !

beautiful!

Shot very nicly. Lots of informative information Alhamdulillah. These folks do clean natural work!

this is awesome

Just stunning! We want to build one of these for guests!

This is Awesome!!!

beautiful home

Amen Sista!

The windows in these dwellings are magical

I lived in an old adobe house in Mesa AZ. The walls were thick and stored the day's heat in summer where the AC would work overtime during late evenings.

Amazing work thank you

This is such an amazing Video. Thank you.

Great video, thanks for sharing.

Really great Documentary, thank you.

in a day and age where people want to impact every aspect of people's lives right down to a 6 yr-old's sexuality....it's so nice to hear someone remind us that we don't want to impact other people's backyards. beautiful video on too many levels to list here....as someone who's worked with his hands with tile stone and cement for 30+ years ..... thanks for this inspirational call to nature and aesthetic remembrance to that from which we arose.

Keep up the good work 🙏❤️

it feels like our indian ancestors all knowledge has been taken by other countries & we indians only never understood the value of our ancestors knowledge of building cob house , living simple life & eating simple organic food & their ancient learning in every manner that was kind to each & every animals .. It’s all was with us but thn we called muddy people by thn & now these people are genius. I’m really feeling so sorry for ourselves that we didn’t care their value, their approach of life & their view on everything that has purpose to live an completely organized organic life but we’re thankful to them that they left us legacy & we had our ancestors who built the lifestyle that was always encouraging entirely earthly values. I still remember my grandparents cob buildings in my village,they are still standing since 100s of yrs ..As children we lived there, played there .. cob houses were not only in my village but everywhere in indian villages we had cob houses but we were called villagers, muddy people.. should our Indian ancestors not deserve an recognization, i just question?

excellent video

I love it!! Makes me wanna hire an all dwarf construction company. Or maybe the actors in the Safety Dance video. 🤔

demasiado bello.... y muy real.

Beautiful 🥰🌿💐❤️🏵️

This is love...

Nice job thank you

I love it great work or art

This is the kind of work that should be tonight in school

goals

1:25 what Patrick says, really hit me hard.

I didn’t know that Cobb walls could absorb and D absorb humidity, I thought Cobb walls would mold. Wow!

My grandmother used to live in a house just like this one up until the early 90s - made of cob and built in a south indian, traditional Tamil way. Then came this thing called “modernization” and everyone started building with concrete, plastic and other nonsense. The result is what you see today - most cities in India are an unmanaged concrete mess.

Everything is a full mind body experience 🙃

❤❤❤

Красиво. Есть же у людей фантазия)

This is what I want.

Cool

Canada has so much s p a c e ... wish I could make this on a mountain in my country.

Don’t even need to build a big cob house, you can create your own tiny little hut in ze garden. 🙂

Thank you for this video series. Any idea how long it has taken and how many people to build the house shown from 3:43?

Does this material work for all climates, such as below zero and snow?

Gorgeous video, very insightful. Answered a lot of the questions I've had about cobb houses. I really hope I can make my own one day!

1:57 with the subtitles on.

I wish I could get someone to come build me a house like these

Unbelievable Thats it Im building one

Any problems with termites? I've had issues (visible mud tunnels) in my traditional house. No mud tunnels in a very long time (after poisoning), but I always wonder if they're still eating my house... or did structural damage to it.

So much beauty and creativity ! I cant wzit to complete mine. It's slow going with only one person, however. >>>-Wulfy-->

Love this idea and video but how do you change a window if it gets broke? Or plumbing? Just curious

breathing house!!

I made some bricks and boy are they strong !!!

OK I am Sold!!! When can We get started with the WADDLE & DAUB???! :-D

In which season should this be done? I live in South Central US, and I hoping through fall and winter. Digging trenches (footings?) now.

Who are the sad and frustrated souls giving even this video a dislike..!!!

I want to do this so badly. Building codes won’t allow it for a house, but we could do it for a shed or chicken coop or maybe a workshop.

The ceiling panels (10:50) struck my eye. They look like a woven basket. Can you tell me more about this product?

Question: if I built one in Florida would it be hurricane and termite strong?

Im in oregon and id like to build my own little cob home but im scared it'll melt away in the rain 😅

I really love these houses and their idea but what about the timber? These sustainable houses look like they consume more timber when looking. Which will mean something. Just curiosity. Love to receive a reply.

I want to learn more about this construction method. For example, what kind of structural loads does it have. In my region of the country tornados do happen. How would a cob wall withstand winds compared to other materials. I know the typical stick framed drywall "tents" that everyone builds around here don't do well at all. Would cob withstand winds better? It seems everyone that knows anything about it, lives in the northwest or Canada. I'm in the southeast US.

how much does it cost please?

I would like to learn about these techniques... where can i get the informations

Any one know how well cob holds up to being frozen. At 5000 ft in the Rockies that's my only concern with it.
