A place to vent my frustrations about living in a effed up white male dominated, ableist, capitalistic society. And if you're mean, misogynistic, or in any other way effed up I will delete you. And yes, it is at my discretion. Whine about it elsewhere.

I dreamt of Cob the other night
*Sigh* One day I'll get to sculpt my dream house. In my dream the other night I was mixing cob and building a structure. Here are some photos of why cob is so cool:
Have you seen the movie "A Star Is Born" with Barbara Streistand (sp?)? I have not seen it but once and I think I was 13 or 14 years old. But I seem to remember something about a house she was building in that movie, perhaps similar to one of these.
It just makes me think that it would be loaded with bugs.
ReplyDeleteNo more then in regular houses

ReplyDeleteNo I haven't...but cob is wonderful
ReplyDeleteCob is great. You can actually paint it with that lime type stuff so it doesn't look so much like dirt.
ReplyDeleteAnd what is cob, may i ask?
ReplyDeleteyou can see the entire process in a cute little cartoon here.
ReplyDeleteBut the shorthand answer is a mixture of clay, sand, and straw that can (and has) been used to create houses like the ones pictured in this post.
