Building with Cob – Update
We discussed Brian Liloia cob cottage in an earlier post and I wanted to give you an update on his progress. Brian has started the roofing of his cob home as you can see by the picture above.
Brian was recently interviewed about building his cob house at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage. He was interviewed by Tom Tucker of Greenblogosphere.com.
He discusses his experience building the house, the benefits and history of cob, and why he chose cob over other materials. They also talk a bit about life at the Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage.
Brian is hoping that this audio interview will help shed more light on what it is like to build with cob and others will be encouraged to give it a try as well.
I have posted the audio below and attached some photos of the process so far. You can visit Brian’s “The Year of Mud: Building a cob house” blog to learn more as well.
