Woman's Magical Cob House Built with Earth & Reclaimed Materials

[@kevinchastain727]

for those that are skeptical of cob in a rainy environment there are cob cottages with thatched roofs in England that are over 500 years old

[@hrdemaio]

Yes! People are so skeptical of everything but there are equal amounts of people who are achieving the "impossible." Makes me happy. 😁

Rammed Earth is the oldest method of building walls... And originated in Europe... Basically this is made from mud and straw,. Rammed into forms for making large bricks... And it's been in existence for around $700 years.. In England and Germany they are called Tudor Houses...

[@janaprocella8268]

Some of these tutor houses are 1,000 years old...

Right. You can also find them in Danube Delta. It's a very old technic and the houses are beautiful and very well insulated.

I believe everyone is as amazing as her. It just takes, time, effort, and willingness to learn and grow with the help of others. Some of us are just too wrapped up in our own drama stories, and just concentrating on survival.

Yes, for a lot of people a paper degree is a waste of time (even worse if you go into debt for it!).

masakasama everything you said is true. I remember watching documentaries and being so sad to hear how the hippies turned into yuppies. But that knowledge about why so many back-to-the-landers failed helped me make my plans more realistic. It’s heaps and heaps of work! When I mention wanting to go and live out somewhere to homestead as much as possible, friends sometimes say “oh that sounds so nice and relaxing, I’d love to do that” I just nod and think to myself “it’s gonna be more work than anyone realizes, and probably not as ideal as you think!” But knowing it’s going to be extremely hard work, is one step closer towards actually accomplishing the work necessary and not backing down when things get rough.
