RE: Prepping to Build a Homestead: 8 Forms of Capital
Thank you for this post! It really gives me a look at what you want to accomplish and why.
Cobb building? Now that is an art of construction.
I agree for the first winter to have a self-contained RV style for living would be appropriate too.
Thank you so much! Yea I really love cobb buildings. Though for the north east climate, it's not really adequate, it has great thermal mass but it's not suposed to be the best for insulation... I guess it could be fine to live in but not for a weekend home, it would take too long to get warm inside in the winter!
We will however have a couple little cottages and toilet rooms made of cobb and wattle and daube.
Thanks again for giving me the idea of writing this post. I learned a lot about our plan!
I think sometimes planning it out and actually putting it all in black and white can help you see and envision more. Glad I could help!
Yes it really helped! I've written down our plan before but never with so much thought. Thanks
