  • About The Year of Mud

    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.
