This Cob House

I'm practically giving this to you

Since 2011, I've helped thousands of people through workshops, this video course, consulting, and my books. And here's what I've learned:

The people who succeed aren't the ones with the most money or the most experience.

They're the ones who get the right knowledge BEFORE they start building.

I've watched too many people:
- Build foundations that fail
- Build homes that develop moisture problems
- Waste thousands on land and designs that never get permit approved
- Buy land that's completely wrong for natural building/alternative building

This course exists to prevent those kinds of mistakes.

For $50 (less than a few fast-food meals), you get the education that could save you $50,000+ in building errors.

Everything works for cob, straw-clay, rammed earth, adobe, strawbale, hempcrete — any natural building method.

53 spots remaining. 8 days left (or until we hit 150).

P.S. Maggie in Portugal started building when she was 63. By 68, she'd completed a cob roundhouse, goat shed, and greenhouse/bathroom combo — total cost under $5,000. She followed this course step by step.

The $939,000 housing mistake

Let me show you two paths.

Path A — Conventional home:

- Median home price: $400,000
- 30-year mortgage at 7%
- Monthly payment: ~$2,650
- Total paid over 30 years: $954,000
- You own it at age 60. Maybe.

Path B — Cob house / Natural Alternative Building:

- Materials cost: $30,000 (realistic starting point for a solid build)
- Labor: Your own (with the right instruction)
- Monthly payment: $0
- Total paid: $30,000
- You own it the day you finish building

Same result. Completely different financial reality.

The average American spends nearly $1 million on housing over their lifetime.

Most of that goes straight to a bank.

Natural building flips that equation entirely.

Is it more work upfront? Yes. Does it require learning real skills? Absolutely.

That's exactly what this course teaches you.

For $50 right now, you get the complete roadmap to Path B.

Will this work in my climate?

One of the most common questions I get: "Will this work where I live?"

Short answer: Yes.

I've taught people natural building in:
- Freezing Montana winters
- Humid Florida summers
- Desert Southwest heat
- Pacific Northwest rain
- Everything in between

Natural building adapts to your climate. You just need to know HOW to adapt it.

In the course, I show you:
- Insulation strategies for cold climates
- Moisture management for humid regions
- Foundation designs for different soil types
- Roof overhang calculations for your rainfall
- Ventilation requirements by climate zone

This isn't theoretical. These are proven techniques from real builds in real conditions.

The course works for cob, but also for straw-clay (excellent for cold climates), rammed earth (great for deserts), adobe, hempcrete, strawbale, and more.

Quick update: 47 people grabbed the course yesterday.

103 spots left before this sale closes — or 2 weeks, whichever comes first.

I want to share something with you.

Since 2011, I've helped thousands of people through workshops, this video course, consulting, and my books. And the one thing I've learned is this:

The people who succeed at natural building aren't the ones with the most money or the most experience.

They're the ones who get the right knowledge BEFORE they start.

I've watched too many people:
- Pour foundations that crack within a year
- Build walls that develop moisture problems
- Waste thousands on permits that never get approved
- Buy land that's completely wrong for natural building

This course exists to prevent those exact mistakes.

For $50 — less than a single bag of cement and a few supplies — you get the education that could save you $20,000+ in costly building errors.

P.S. Whether you want to build with cob, straw-clay, rammed earth, adobe, or any other natural method — these lessons apply directly. The physics of foundations, thermal mass, moisture management, and structural design are the same across all of them.
