Cob Hobbit House photos
I wanted to post some of the photos from the Cob Hobbit House build. I was thinking of doing a live Q&A call for you to ask questions about this build, but let's start here...post any questions you have regarding this one. I have more case studies in the works. I'm currently compiling one for the Florida Cob Cottage and the Cob Quonset Hut. Spring projects are ramping up though, so I'm a bit behind on all the digital online work. Thanks for your patience!

Hi I'm Monica, and I want to cover a hundred year old house with Cobb
Long story short, during covid I spent a whole bunch of money buying rundown properties in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I'm retired it's 6 years later I've got one 2,000 sq ft hundred year old house that I just can't figure out what to do with it. I've got over 30 years experience working for developers in real estate. I'm originally from Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I moved to Arkansas full time 3 years ago. I've just recently renewed my interest in getting my building inspector license. I'm on the urban forestry commission here in town, for shytes and giggles I got my storm water construction site inspector license, I'm a certified tree inspector and since it's way easier for me to get my building inspector license here in Arkansas then it was in Pennsylvania that's my new adventure. So here's what happened when I started studying for my building inspector license I realized how inefficient the way we build houses in the US is and everything I knew about Cobb eliminated like 90% of the problems that happened to houses as we build them now. With all that said I joined this group I would love to share any and all information about the house that I have and answer the question , can you cover an existing house with Cob? Attached are my old 20/20 original building inspections I had done when I bought the property.
