Building a cob house. Just another WordPress.com site. Laquo; Cellar and First Layer of Earthen Floor. October 12, 2011 by joellebrieanne. So much has happened since my last post. We were so excited about finishing the cellar that we just kept pushing to get more of the house done. Our summer was flooded with rain, so we lost a lot of building time. We picked one of the wettest seasons to build a cob house! After the cellar we started on the dry stacked foundation. Repeated over and over again! It is cha...

Cellar and First Layer of Earthen Floor | Building a cob house

https://cobbedinthemountains.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/cellar-and-first-layer-of-earthen-floor

Building a cob house. Just another WordPress.com site. Laquo; As the walls go up…. Cellar and First Layer of Earthen Floor. September 9, 2011 by joellebrieanne. We have battled many things this summer! Our biggest challenge has been the weather. In spring we had so much rain, later on we had a small drought and for the past week nothing but rain. All of this wouldn’t have been that big of a deal if we had built our roof first. I am making note for our next house! We started adding shelves. We finished bu...

Building a cob house. Just another WordPress.com site. Laquo; First Window. Cellar and First Layer of Earthen Floor. As the walls go up…. August 2, 2011 by joellebrieanne. Through out this process I have learned so much, not only about natural building. Every window on the house now has a hand print! My way of saying we built this with our hands. We have been doing a lot of night cobbing thanks to John and Michelle Connor! We also just bought some scaffolding! On August 4, 2011 at 12:14 am. We have been ...

First Window | Building a cob house

https://cobbedinthemountains.wordpress.com/2011/06/01/first-window

Building a cob house. Just another WordPress.com site. Laquo; First batch of cob. As the walls go up…. June 1, 2011 by joellebrieanne. The past week and a half the weather here has been crazy. I feel as if I have been living in a rain forest! The plants love it and so do I. The cob house however, does not! So we made a test batch. Two parts sub-soil, one part creek sand, and one part shillet. It turned out to be the best batch of cob we have made so far! We had a lot of help this past week. My cousin...
