[Cob] cob for profit / building with one less income

[The Pruett's]

cob for profit: just like any other business you start, you won't really see a return for the first 2 years (so sayeth the statistics). So if you start to build for profit, you will have to be financially prepared to live without revenue for that period. 

Personally we came across the perfect opportunity to build our cob house. My spouse got laid off and can collect unemployment for 18 months at just over $1600 a month. We figure that pays him $10 an hour to build our house. I will work my three days a week (12 hour nursing shifts is full time). And we took a withdrawal from a retirement account, with the thinking that a mortgage-free house is a better investment anyway.  

There are ways to do it, even if it is on the weekends and you take 3 years to do it. In the long run, you will have all the rewards - right?
