The Year of Mud: Cob House & Natural Building
Cob, Straw Bale, & Timber Frame Houses | Natural Building Workshops
Wow, it finally feels like winter. We’ve had a ridiculous number of mild days thus far, and it decided to snow a couple days ago, but only immediately after a 60+ degree day. Hrmmm… for some reason, it’s hard to turn one’s mind from wandering to climate change…
We are faring much better this winter (in no doubt due to the warm days), but I actually want some cold to test all of the changes we’ve made to the house this summer!

Hullo. I am Brian Liloia, but I'm also called Ziggy. I live at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage. Here I've documented the entire building process of my first cob house, built with little experience, and now my latest timber frame & straw bale home. The Year of Mus has expanded to offer Natural Building Workshops, so you too can learn how to build your very own natural home, in addition to reading all about cob, straw bale, timber framing & our continuing projects online. This is the Year of Mud.
Don't forget... check out our current Natural Building Workshops!
