I love the idea of marrying timber frame with a cob structure. The benefit of doing this is that the exterior timber frame is protected from termites because of the cob and even a termite barrier that can buried directly into the cob, and we don't need as much wood for a cob/timber frame home because the majority of material is cob. I think the two materials marry beautifully to one another. So much, in fact, that it is my goal to construct a two story cob home in Nevada that will be a cob/timber frame home. :)Thank you for this wonderful episode.

Mark, It would be AWESOME if you make a video or two about your house if you do build one!

@@NaturallyEmpowered I was speaking with a friend who told me that he imbeds cob with termite sheets. These are, I guess, mesh sheeting that termites cannot eat through, When the reach it, they around and leave

@@TryingNotCrying I'm actually considering CEB, or compressed earth block now. I think they can work well with timber frame and because of the compression, they are termite proof.

This video doesn't have enough "like" buttons. Very inspirational. Pre-building a house in one's garage is a genius idea.

i'm determined to get these ideas to Brazil,im upset with the way we build and waste materials and how simple it is to fix all of that, i'm willing to have classes on timber framing and keep this way of living going till the end of my days! we can't lose this simplicity! we just can't! I'm determined ... thanks for the videos!

unfortunately in australia the country is over regulated and to build a traditional build home would never meet the requirements of local councils, they would say it needs plasterboard, treated pine or steel frame walls and a poxy steel roof,

It's the way forward, we've just got to make sure that replanting of trees ( as much variety as possible) is the biggest priority.

To live in Cob homes iis better for our health and they last at least 400 years. Some of them in Erope have lasted a thousand years.

That's very nice, but I lean towards load-bearing strawbale house. I just don't want to waste so many trees.

@charlesissleepy 3 жыл бұрын

timber grows on trees. Once trees have a dollar value based on quality vs commodity pulp/cellulose and growth rate, we can expect forests to be managed according, as historically was the case. Build it once and build it right. Hay bale is interesting too but there's nothing wrong with good timber frame construction, either way your haybale house needs a roof and a floor

i dont think there is enough good quality timber for every house; this means it becomes expensive; which means most people wont be able to afford it; also keep in mind that expensive things have high carbon footprint behind them

@mostlycensored7668 4 жыл бұрын

Some of these buildings last 100s of years and are 100% repairable with locally sourced materials. Additionally, timber farming can be done with 0 electricity and no nails. It is carbon sequestration as a matter of fact and there is nothing that is as sustainable. But hey, I feelz your guiltz. Not really though, you sound rediculous.

@ruchirlawate624 5 жыл бұрын

While these houses look pretty, the number of trees cut down for a single house means that the forests will soon be gone!

@mostlycensored7668 4 жыл бұрын

Not true. They regrow. Furthermore, it uses less luimber overall.

@justmylifestyle5584 3 жыл бұрын

Trees are very easy to replenish by planting more trees whenever trees are cut. It is the interest of timber suppliers to plant more trees otherwise they go out of business.
