Hey Friends, I'm about to undertake a project like this. I wanted to know... how is that wood treated? Do I need to worry about moisture from the cob (at least in the beginning) rotting my wood frame? I sort of want to mill my own logs which is why I ask.
@cobalot9

Hi, the cob will not rot your wooden pallets. It dries in a week and is then protected from rot.

Your videos are so fantastic, an invaluable resource for those of us looking to build our own homes. I’m on video 3 of yours and I’m throughly inspired and actually believe I can undertake a small project. Thank you for sharing so generously!! Sending you all the good vibes from Southern AZ 🙏🏽✨🌵 Edited to add: In the video you mentioned one of the women wanted to build a cobin in Paradise. Is that in Paradise Arizona? I realize this video is old but if she is in fact building in AZ I’d love to help!

I would like to build a house like this but I don't really know where to start. I have three kids and would need at least three bedrooms. I feel like it would be impossibly labor intensive and take forever to build palletable cob house of that size.

Yes, it works best for little 120 sq dt huts that sont require permits. We were able to build here in Florida without a permit because the structures are not for living in. You would need to get a permit, which would require that it is built to code which is very complicated.

You are absolutely correct. Cobb is a mixture of sand clay and straw without any wood framing at all. This is technically a pallet structure with an Earthen plaster over it but there are many cob features in the decorative sculpting.

It is beautiful! Would love to see how you built the roof. The kids looked so thrilled to work, NOT! 🤣 Can we char-burn the ends of the posts before putting them into the ground? What about putting boots on the bottom with large cobblestones and then put the pallets in between the posts on top of the stones so no moisture wicks up through the ground if there should be a lot of rain and flooding. I know I would definitely want to do that here in New York. This is just so beautiful. Want to live build and live in a cob cottage so bad. Thank you for such a great channel. ❤

@cobalot9

Adding cement to the plaster can be problematic as it makes the plaster to rigid and can separate from the cob which will expand and contract due to the weather. I use a hydraulic lime which is enough. I don't see the need for adding cement to the walls

Hi yes you can have your uprights every 8 ft if you want and put two pallets in between and then put a board going over the top of the two pallets. I usually do and upright every pallet though so I have a space to frame in Windows and other artistic features but if you want just a long bare wall then sure you totally can. I did a 150 ft long wall using the technique you are describing. Here is a link to it kzitem.info/news/bejne/zYeq4Gx5qYiZiX4

I think its interesting that you overlaid cob onto pallets. I am curious though on how long that will last. Won't the pallets degrade over time? What about bugs getting to the wood? While I like how you are able to expedite this structure very quickly, I question the longevity of the structure as well as the durability of it as opposed to a solidly constructed cob building.
@SimpleSustainableLife
3 жыл бұрын
Actually it can be likened to wattle and daub, which has been used as a building technique for over 6000 yrs. The cob and plaster expel the moisture from the structure, so the wood and straw stay dry which stops them moulding or degrading.
