Cob: round house 1800's & Building workshops

[Taylor Publishing-DirtCheapBuilder]

http://www.housemouse.net/houseplanmonth01.htm

this site was posted to orgainc architecture list, and the round house 
of the 1800's is described as "queer"...very funny to see  subjective 
description of anyone who wouldlive in such a  house.
+++++++++++
Also as posted to this list  by Beth Rogers, a radio broadcast on K-Mud 
here in Humboldt CA covered women building, on their "Women on 
Wednesday" program.  I and a local woman who is teaching 
cob/SB/plasters/earth floors and more were interviewed.  We had a lot oc 
callers with good  questions on all sorts of natural building topics, 
and we may make this a once a month braodcast on areas of building. and 
it can be heard via the internet ( which seems ultrasophisticated to me)

I wanted to let anyone interested know how to reach the local teacher- 
Peggry Frist, who is hosting workshops on a low cost, sliding scale 
basis for all aspets of building, not just cob.

Peggy trained with both Becky Bee, and in Nova Scotia at the( 
loadbearing SBale) house of Kim Thompson.

You can call her direct or view a list of upcoming events on a page at

I'd love to see someone with Peggy's energy be able to continue to offer 
classes as no one else in Humboldt is teaching.
