And so the 2018 cobbing season has started. For the moment we are a small 3-man crew. Darryl, the owner of the Art of Cob, and Linda plus myself have begun the final stages of work on the round house This could become our home for a while, so naturally we are excited to be joining in on the fun.
Darryl has a contact with some folks that may send campers and other interested folks our way to help with the work and learn some real alternative construction techniques. The round house went through the very rainy winter season dry inside and out. The large overhang I put in place when building the roof provided for a dry foundation and interior. Once these structures are dry, and the roof maintained they will last generations. Many examples still exist in Britain and Wales, among other places.
If ya’ll happen to be coming to southwestern Oregon drop us an email or send a message to the Facebook page and will let you join in too.
See ya.
