I love these cob houses. Someday I want to have one for a retreat when I retire:

I also like the more traditional ones:

These tiny houses are the ultimate in minimalist living.

If you want to do this you should do it now, most bucket lists don't get completed.

I can't retire yet. Also, not every state allows building permits for cob houses. As soon as I decide where I want to retire, I will buy 5 acres (that's enough for one person, I think). Cob houses only cost a couple thousand to build. They are a labor of love.

Word.

I would make a little Cracker Commune of four or five little houses.

I do have a few antique leaded windows of different sizes in the garage. They are the first step of the dream.

I swear I am NOT a hippy. I just love simplicity and room for thought.

build it in your back yard and move it when you retire, stop being a stubborn bitch and do what you're told.

Cracker will NOT piss in a bucket. I want electricity, cable, and plumbing.

You know, I have a huge backyard. Almost an acre. I could. You're right, I could.

I could at least make plans for a cob house. I think I have a CADD program on one of the computers.

There are several "hobbit houses" around the world.

Cob construction uses reclaimed materials, can be built with a small team of volunteers, are very temperature stable, and have a small carbon footprint.

I don't want a cabin, I want a cob.

Why don't single people live in these? The complete houses from the link cost between $5k and $10k. Why have a bunch of debt and stuff you don't need?

They have bigger cob houses. There are some beautiful historical thatched cob houses in Britian that are very large.
