In colder climates, you can't make cob houses, correct?!

@@sandraconner6968you build a cob house in a 4 season climate that has cold and snowy winters however the cob house will not be warm naturally in Winter. You will need to insulate walls, floors and roof. Cob is not a naturally good insulator for cold weather.
Loved watching the process of the awesome structure!! The beauty of everything you did ..

What about eletrical and plumbing? Would like to have some insights about.
Nicely done video! Good visual, not too much audio, minimal music. I'm going to look at your previous videos and of course the subsequent!

Starts at 1 ft at the base and tapers up to 8 inches at the top
Why won't you let them dry and make adobes? I think itll be a better structure and last forever!
I have wanted to build a small cob house for many years. We are traveling for the next 4-5 years between Mexico and Argentina, in search of our favorite cool weather retirement city. We are 56 and 61. My biggest fear is not getting the sand/clay mixture right. Great video !

The next video is finished I just need to upload it. Will do that soon! :)
This is a real pain if you do this by yourself. It takes forever. I built a few 8x8x6 chickens pens and it took forever. Definitely recruit your friends to help.
Why not make a house sized house for someone or a different person each group lol you don’t learn much building a shed haha
