Cob: Re: Re: Time and cost?

Now Gregori, did I say that?  I'm more than willing to make necessary and 
reasonable investments in the home I want to create.  But certainly it is 
prudent to have some estimated expenses in mind, no?  If a cob house is 
going to cost me $50K and 4 billion hours of labor, then I would have to 
consider it closely.  If it might take 6 months of intensive labor and $20K, 
that's another story.

I would still be interested in any ranges of actual numbers, if anyone wants 
to venture informed guesses.  I'm sure I'll be bothering you with more 
questions as I formulate them.

I appreciate all the information from everyone, and if this does become the 
plan, anyone in the area would certainly be welcome to come hang out and 
stomp mud.

Thanks!
Carla
