Thanks Alex for updating us on all your projects and courses. Wish I wasn't across the ocean or I'd be there. My little cob house I built with nothing but your written instructions is still holding up well in the extreme weather conditions of the Portuguese mountains and I'm pleased you mentioned that cob is great at regulating the temp even tho it not an insulator as I've found that to be the case. I'm delighted with my Casita. Built a round goatshed for my nannies and am busy with a semi circular bathroom /greenhouse during spell of calm weather. Have to agree with fellow who said cob is number 1. Thanks for all your help, Alex.

Great to hear! Thanks for the update!

Thanks for your video. Do animals/pests/insects disturb or eat these walls? Especially wondering about the straw clay.

Always love learning from you brother. Can't wait to build my home

Thanks! Good to hear from you. Yes, keep the dream alive. You'll get there!

Monolithic Domes, the only building type that FEMA gives a 5 Star 🌟 Rating for Safety, during all types of natural disasters

^ I agree so much! And they can be built up ridiculously quick, too. The only reason I want to build a cob house is because it is considerably safer than conventional buildings in all kinds of ways. 👍

Hempcrete?

[@thiscobhouse]

I do really like hempcrete. I'd put it on par or even better than straw-clay. But it is more expensive than straw-clay and hemp shiv is not easily accessible compared to straw.

Cob. Forget the rest. First to post with the last word.
