Cob contracting workRobert Bolman robtb at efn.orgThu Nov 5 13:23:54 CST 1998
FYI, here are my words to Brooke: Brooke, People approach me like this all the time. I'm not a very ambitious builder. I've only employed people on and off, under the table. I expect to be hiring a couple of people for an alternative sort of project next spring/summer. Meanwhile, what I typically suggest for aspiring professional natural builders is to get a job working for a relatively "cool", counterculture CONVENTIONAL builder. Begin picking up useful skills while trying to nudge conventional building in a better direction. When natural building takes off and there are indeed jobs available on an ongoing basis, you'll be poised with a broad range of skills to find ample employment doing what you want. I hope this makes sense and is helpful to you. Robert Bolman >My name is Brooke Richardson and I'm interested in working as a cob >builder. I have trained with the Cob Cottage company in a two week course >in British Columbia and also here in California at the Occidental Arts and >Ecology center and at Real Goods with Michael Smith.
