build your own cob home for $10,000

I just finished pushing these two videos up to youtube.

The last cob house is the biggest and the total cost was $10,000. And was designed with the idea that anybody can build their own home.

I have watched all the videos you have posted, the rocket stove was cool and would like to make one myself, the cob video seemed a bit too "commune" for my taste but like the idea.

Paul, I joined the permaculture site last week and it has been fascinating. Thanks for linking to it!

I think no place is perfect. I think this is one of those things where the upsides outweigh the downsides. And, if nothing else, I feel I learned a lot of stuff that I had never knew was out there to be learned!
