Yea! Check out these super nifty panorama photos of the interior of the cob house! They’re assembled by Jess Ahlemeier (thanks, Jess!). Be sure to check out the large version of the above photo here. I love to see all the little details of the house in one shot. This photo also gives a good impression of just how large the interior of Gobcobatron is, too.

The Morso 1410 is a very small, clean-burning wood stove
The Morso 1410 “Squirrel” is a sleek, small wood stove. And I’m very glad to have its company. It’s been getting a fair workout these days, and I’m happy with its performance. Here’s a little rundown on my experience with the small wood stove out of Denmark.
I suppose I’m a sucker for reciprocal roofs. After much thought, April and I decided to go ahead with building a reciprocal roof over the woodshed. The original plan was to make a shed roof, but alas, I couldn’t bring myself to build a shed roof. I just really don’t like them. In the end, a reciprocal roof seemed to serve us best, aesthetically and functionally.
Hi there, I’m Ziggy. In 2008, I launched The Year of Mud while building my first natural home. This website is a collection of personal stories and experiences building with clay, straw, and wood over the past 15+ years. A few of the things that get me fired up are natural plasters, timber framing, & Japanese architecture. In 2012, we started offering Natural Building Workshops, so you can learn essential hands-on skills to build your own natural home.
