don't know if I posted this gallery before http://www.cultureartist.org/Cob_Gallery/cob_building_gallery_page_1.htm
and things to do list so I don't forget...
- find surveryor and get surveying done
- get design drawings done
- get design drawings drafted
- get sample of cob mix
- get engineers report
- planning permission
- collect things that can be stored easily - bottles, small windows, oil lamps, candle holders, small amounts of wood, tiles
- find out if alternative oils can be used in oil lamps other than kerosene
- estimate how many electrical appliances are NEEDED and how to minimise electricy usage with those
- look at earth on site to see if contains clay
- find out sand pricing
- gravel pricing
- start collecting tools
Obviously this is a list of things that will happen over time, but it is good to get it going and out of the whirlpool of my brain!
We have the potential for a bit of land now on a rent to buy arrangement - we are currently living in a share house and the owners have generously floated the idea of sub dividing off a corner of the land for us...
