[Cob] Engineered Cob House PlansJanet Standeford janet.standeford at gmail.comMon Feb 8 23:34:23 CST 2010
Hi there, Boy, everyone seems to have disappeared for the Winter! Moving along here. I spoke with the Civil Engineer who created my plans and he is willing to sell the identical set for $400 provided your jurisdiction allows the same type of building. TIP: If your area has code for adobe you have a better chance. Anyway, he is emailing me the plans so I can put a picture or two up to see if you are interested. This plan is very much conducive to modular building with a split roof after just one addition to the front. The split has a row of windows. The way I see it, if we comply with codes that are in existence and build somewhat conventional linear homes for the present, we open the way for expansion of code and less traditional shapes later! We have several objectives. Ambiance, Cost & Freedom to build non-traditionally. The ambiance is still there with modifications, I won't owe my soul to the bank and I have started the process toward being free to build non-traditionally, not just for myself but for countless others who cannot afford homes that are stick built. Oh, and we help the environment:>)
