Build A Modern Cob Home – Download this to bypass the learning curve!
If you want to learn how to build modern cob buildings, strawbale buildings, or even conventional buildings – to a higher quality level…
My video courses give you a step-by-step system for building structures with cob and earthen materials. You will learn about the initial steps, which include design, site selection, and building foundations (to name a few topics). All the way on up to the finishing touches like roofing, plastering, and utilities installation (again, to name just a few subjects included). I even guide you through the building codes and permits process, if that's the route you want to take.
For example, there are over 20 hours of instructional video lessons included in the program leading you step-by-step through how to build a cob house. These videos are private only to the course and are not available anywhere else.
These are my pinnacle, premium courses that took me over 12 years to create, and I’m giving it to you for 90% OFF this week. Let’s move forward with the knowledge we need to build better!
This can save you thousands of dollars in building mistakes
If you have any plans for building a cob house (or any kind of earthen/non-toxic house) then you really should grab up my digital courses this week while they’re at 90% discount.
While these courses are based on using cob, these lessons also apply to many other building methods: rammed earth, adobe, earthbag, straw bale, light straw-clay, hempcrete, etc...
You won't learn these important design lessons at any other workshop.
I've compiled some of the best design lessons all in one compact course from years of research and experience.
These lessons can save you thousands of dollars in building mistakes, and could even save your house from a structural disaster!
An architect, engineer, or earthen building design consultant can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars for a single visit and consultation.
Not to say that this is bad and that they are overcharging. Not all all, actually.
One visit by a professional designer might cost you $500 but it could save you $50,000 in mistakes.
This course has the potential to save you thousands of dollars.
Whether you are working with a professional designer or not, you personally need to understand the fundamentals of designing a cob building (or any kind of building).
Benefits of the design course:
- Access to the ONLY design-focused cob course (its all downloadable)
- Learn how to avoid the major design mistakes with cob building
- Save thousands of dollars in architect and consultancy fees
- No travel required. All you need is a computer with internet access!
- No need to use your precious vacation days to attend a workshop
- No need to cut time out of your busy schedule
I’ve usually reserved the design course for the more serious students and people ready to undertake a building project, but at the price I’m offering it this week I recommend everyone go snatch up the downloads now while you can at the bargain price.

How I moved to the country and built my first house for only $20k
Hey,
I wanted to share this new video with you talking about how I moved out of the city to the country, and started building my homestead on a small budget. I'll update you on my thoughts on the journey so far! I'll present some of the strategies I've taken to make it happen, and I give some pointers for how you can build your own home and do the same thing.
I call it the "Bible" of cob building because it contains so much information! It is my authority guide to natural building and cob construction, and my legacy from my lifetime being a builder.
I’ve put together a ton of online materials over the years on cob construction and natural building. And I’ve compiled it all into step-by-step online courses so you can get an education without traveling across country to attend workshops.
I’m offering my online courses (which you can fully download too) for 90% OFF this week.
Here’s what you get in the online courses:
- 20 hours of video lessons – Watch my highly applicable step-by-step cob building lessons. (Including my most-recent video lessons from 2024 and 2025!)
- Lesson PDF Notes – Well designed lesson notes for each module sharing detailed information on each topic.
- My cob building eBook!
- 1 hour of video lessons on designing cob/earthen/natural buildings

And here are some of the video lessons included:
- Introduction to Building with Cob – Get an introduction to natural building, design, site preparation, layout, selecting cob ingredients, and building foundations.
- Cob Mixing, Foundations and Passive Solar Design – Continue learning about how to build foundations and explore passive solar design, thermal mass & insulation, and learn how to make cob.

- Windows & Doors, Codes & Permits – Learn how to install doors and windows in cob walls, trimming cob walls, building cob arches, and explore building codes and permit requirements.
- Earthen Plaster and Hybrid Building – Learn how to prepare, mix, and apply earthen plaster and how to design a hybrid natural building.
- Roofing and Natural Finishes – Delve into roofing options and learn about natural, non-toxic finishing options for your cob house.
- Earthen Building Methods and Mechanized Cob – Explore integrating more diverse earthen building materials, living roofs, Tadelakt finishing, and more!
- Lime Plaster Finishing – Learn how to source materials, mix, and apply natural lime plaster finishing. Plus, learn about bond beams and roofing piers.

- Basements, and Moisture Protection – Discover how to build a cob house over a basement, how to protect cob in a moist climate, and how to build your roof before cobbing.
- Architects and Property - Learn about how to find a suitable architect for your natural building project, and a natural builder’s guide to purchasing property.
- Earthen Floors Integration - Learn about the craft of earthen floors and how they can integrate with your building.
- Bond Beams, Sills, Lintels, and decorative concrete.
- And more!
All of this information could cost you thousands of dollars if you take a bunch of workshops and try to piece it all together yourself. But I’ve compiled it all here for you in a clear format to easily digest.
Over the past decade, I’ve seen more and more earthen buildings being constructed around the world. And I’m really happy to see that these methods and materials for building are finally starting to catch on for various beneficial reasons.
We even have an official cob building code approved under the 2021 International Residential Code, for people who want to go that route. It's now easier than it has ever been before to build your own permitted cob home. The code is even updated for the IRC 2024!
Raising awareness and spreading the knowledge of earthen construction has become more important to my mission than ever before. And I’m in a unique situation for being able to share.
I’ve put together the largest set of online educational materials on cob construction and earth wall building anywhere. And I’ve updated it all in 2025, and compiled it all into step-by-step video courses so people can get an education without traveling around the world to attend expensive workshops.
With all of that said, I am massively discounting my materials and courses again over the next week. All course fees are slashed down 90%. I think this will give everyone the opportunity to afford the information and continue to spread earthen building knowledge.
I’ve bundled my cob video workshops along with the supplemental design course into one package at a surprising 90% discount. So you’re saving over $450 on this discount. Its just $50 this week.
For $50, you’re getting over 20 hours of video lessons, over 150 pages of educational reading on cob and natural building, and over 100 detailed design documents and notes on how to design a cob/earthen structure. Its literally my lifetime of work knowledge as a builder. Worth the same as 10 hands-on workshops, I would honestly say!
Included, is also my new 2025 video course on my my up-to-date methods of cob construction. This includes the CobBauge/slipform cob method instructions. This updated course alone is worth more than the $50 access price. The value of this discount package is off the scales, at this point!
You can download everything to your computer, and it is all yours to keep!
Over the past five years, people have been adjusting their perspectives and lifestyles in some big ways! Many people have been purchasing land in the countryside and building homesteads there. On these plots of land, people want to build homes, garages, tool sheds, greenhouses, etc. Everything required to live a lower-cost, more self-sufficient life.
I’ve had an increasing amount of people contact me asking for consultations on how they can get started with constructing their own homestead. With recent events these past couple of years, I think people have had a big wake-up call to the fragility of our economy and they want to become more self-sufficient now.
The first two major actions to beginning a homestead are to find a piece of land, and then building a home to live in. Of course, there are hundreds of other important factors to building a successful place to live, but these are two things that are the foundation.
I’ve put together over 20 hours of video lessons over the years teaching people how to get started with this. And I’ve always put the focus on doing this with cob construction, since earth wall building materials are locally available, not expensive, and have amazing benefits both economically and for health-related reasons.
I invite you to download all of my cob building video courses this week for 90% OFF so that you can educate yourself and start building your own home and self-sufficient life. Included are all the video lessons, my PDF eBook, and all of my design diagrams for building your own natural, healthy earth wall home. Plus, you get my BRAND NEW 2025 video course with my most up-to-date methods! (That's over 2 hours of new, very valuable content.)
P.S. I also have a full property-purchase checklist included with my video courses to help you determine what a good piece of land looks like. Download the list: thiscobhouse.samcart.com/products/cob-house-video-…

Over the past five years, people have been adjusting their perspectives and lifestyles in some big ways! Many people have been purchasing land in the countryside and building homesteads there. On these plots of land, people want to build homes, garages, tool sheds, greenhouses, etc. Everything required to live a lower-cost, more self-sufficient life.
I’ve had an increasing amount of people contact me asking for consultations on how they can get started with constructing their own homestead. With recent events these past couple of years, I think people have had a big wake-up call to the fragility of our economy and they want to become more self-sufficient now.
The first two major actions to beginning a homestead are to find a piece of land, and then building a home to live in. Of course, there are hundreds of other important factors to building a successful place to live, but these are two things that are the foundation.
I’ve put together over 20 hours of video lessons over the years teaching people how to get started with this. And I’ve always put the focus on doing this with cob construction, since earth wall building materials are locally available, not expensive, and have amazing benefits both economically and for health-related reasons.
