Cobsessed

Cobsessed I love what mud does! It feeds us and shelters us and it heals us. It even buries us, eventually. I Earth is the perfect medium for this climate.

I live in South West Portugal where Houses are traditionally built using rammed earth. I have built a house using cob and I would like to reach out to people and help them to learn about building with mud, through workshops and discussions and just friendly visits. I have a cob house that I rent out so anyone can see what it feels like to be in an earthen home.

Facebook is just all ads and sponsered junk. Not a single friend's posts are visible. Maybe it's time to quit.

Now that it's the cob season I have been cobbing at various places. I repaired a pizza oven.
I plasered a flat wall with sieved earth and donkey poo.
I have been helping a friend build his own house.
Exciting!

So much light comes into the kitchen and upstairs at different times of the day. Here's the morning sun streaming in onto the bananas, just briefly before moving on.

My house looks so warm in the winter sun.
