Dear Hobbit House Enthusiasts,

You might have seen that tomorrow night at Farmer and the Cook, there will be a fairly informal presentation about a current cob building project in Ventura. I’ll be sharing about basic concepts of creating an earthen building in this location. Be sure to bring your burning questions about how-to. This isn’t a theoretical discussion, this is a brass-tacks dialog about how we’re doing it. If that sounds like fun to you – I’d love to see you there.

Our little structure is very close to getting a roof on it. It’s 9.5 feet on the outside, and 7.5 feet on the inside. I’m calling it a “garden studio,” and if technology is cooperating, you’ll see a few slides about the progress. (Doug and I are both computer nerd/ musicians, not builders till now. So don’t be shy.) You can get healthy refreshments at the location.
