    really pretty house. I have been very interested in straw houses, I saw some beautiful ones in a magazine, including a beautiful Montessori school. I have never heard of cob as a building material-wow.

    thanks for sharing

    I’ve always been the a fan of this kind of house. A peaceful and quiet surroundings for our children is a treasure for us. According to http://www.buysomaonline.ca articles that those houses are great for our health because of the natural fresh air that are beneficial for people in the city.
