think I want to live in a mud house
I want to live in a mud house, maybe I could even build my own.............how good would that be ? :-)
I'm thinking of building a straw bale house....warm in winter, cool in summer, attractive, quaint...kinda looks a lot like the photos you have. Can't see the videos here in the U.S. though. What am I missing?
Hi Julie, real shame you can't see the videos, mostly collections of photographs of different cob and/ or straw bale houses in various stages of construction. If you want to see the videos, or similar, there are quite a few on youtude, you should be able to see at least some of them. I just put mud houses and cob houses on the you tube search and it came up with loads of videos. If you do build, hope you blog it here, I will follow your progress.
I don't know why you can't watch the videos, think thats a bit strange, its usually 'copyright' that stops you viewing but these are posted by the people who made them so it should be ok..........maybe try going to Youtube and searching for them and see if they play for you directly.
great..............mind if I requisition your younger bones, think maybe mine not up to the job any more which is a bit of a shame, the mind is willing and all that...................... seriously though, wouldn't it be wonderful. not just a house that leaves no carbon footprint but to be totally off grid as well.............oh bliss
the 'music' is awful, suggest you turn it down but the video is amazing...............lovely eco houses made by hand from local natural materials.
