We are building a cob house. We could use some support, please. I'll tell you how to build it. This is what you do First: 1 you chose where you're going put the house: 2 you dig the trench about 2 to 3 feet deep and 2 to 3 feet wide: 3 put in a foot of gravel in the trench: 4 stem wall( stone with cement between them). 5 you mix cob( you put clay, dirt and water on it, mix it a few times,then you put straw on it you mix a few times,then you are finish making cob ) . 6 you put it on the stem wall. 7 then you put a roof on. Then you are finish.
Cob is fun for kids. fun to make little cob things like, cob snow men, little houses and mini hats. I like to mess a round with it( but wash your hands afterwards, it's hard to get off when it dries, but it won't it wont dry for a awhile). You should go to: ironpigmanor.blogspot.com.
