Greetings!
Earthen building has been around for thousands of years, and all the oldest buildings in the world are made of earth.
The oldest buildings in the world are of course made from stone (which I got so much first hand exposure to while traveling in Portugal and Spain this last month and have hundreds of photos of to share), but there are other types of earthen building, cobb being one of my favorite.
I have a lot of experience in earthen building of many different types; all have their positives and negatives. Here I am focusing specifically on cobb.
I get into it quite extensively in this video, so I am not going to spend an hour typing everything I cover in it.
However, some of the highlights of cobb are:
- Super Sustainable.
- Materials available almost anywhere.
- Very versatile - can build houses, stoves, walls and so much more.
- High quality, long lasting results.
- Very simple.
- Requires almost no tools.
- Can be done without money.
- Time tested results, as it has been done for thousands of years.
So please watch this video, as it is a thorough education on the basics of what cobb is, how to use it, and more!
I am, as you can see, decked out in my handmade SteemGear, handmade knives, and handmade jewelry. All of these are available at www.intothegardenofeden.com, and because I love and support Steem so much I also make them all available for $teem to anyone who prefers.
I have been making sustainable hand made SteemGear for over a year now and have made more Steem/Steemit items than anyone I am aware of in the world. I have more listings on PeerHub (the first "Steemit shop" ever made, which makes real world items listed available for $teem) than anyone else as well.
I have written extensively many times about how to increase the value of $teem, how to create a real world market/economy for $teem, and what I am doing every day to help achieve that for us all!
I love life and am dedicated to creating a better world for all creatures, not just human consumption and wealth. Nature provides everything we need and is a fined tuned ecosystem which is being destroyed daily. I hope you join me in upgraded care for the whole balance of life itself~(~
I am now doing 50/50 payout posts simply because the SBD is so insanely high at the moment, but I will be converting it all to $teem and powering up of course!
