Cob homes

[big brown horse]

Cob coop it is! The hay around here is close to 100 lbs each!

I already know where I'm going to put it!! That is the one good thing about having to wait to build something. The place I wanted my coop last year is really too wet during the rainy season. It took a whole year of living here and watching where the water drains to figure that out. Pays to not have the money to be impulsive, eh?

Cool Please give us pics or at least progress reports when you're building.
