Wow! I absolutely loved watching that! The structures are so beautiful, but also so clever. The heating system is absolutely genius. I'm obsessed! I'm COBsessed!
I see what you did there 😀
@@ListedInTheSouth 🙂
So Glad you are COBcessed! I use that one too...Its part of my extensive vocobulary...Yes, its pretty great to experience the heated bed, for sure!
@@cobalot9 "Vocobulary!" Love it! 🥰
Beautiful like a real-life fairy tale
Born, bred and raised in the Southwest. Adobe’ is my life and every Adobe’ home I’ve lived in is the best kind of building material for a living space. Cool in the heat of the summer and warm in the coldest of winters. Native cultures and ancient people had it right all along… 😊
I stumbled across your channel, and I'm thrilled. I'm 63 @ disabled living in a mobile home that is literally falling apart. I'm terrified it's going to burn down around me some night. Seeing this, I'm going to try and get someone to help me build a little place for me to live where I'm safe. I'm on disability, but this is very cost effective. Im very excited about this, hope for a home at last! I live in tn , hopefully our dirt works along the same way yours does. Yours looks much drier, i live on a mtn. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I loved everything about this video! Miguel is a true artist. His structures are beautiful!
Thanks so much!
I know Miguel, he is a staple in our community. I haven been in and worked on many of these structures for learning and fun. He is def the cob guy. It’s such a delight to see him getting his beautiful structures out to more of the world. What a treat to see! 🎉 He didn’t mention that when you are inside these structures there is a distinct feeling you get, like a warm embrace from Mother Earth. I don’t know how else to describe it. Congrats Miguel! I hope people contact you to build one for them. A home for $1,000 is something most people could use now a days. They are truly something special. I’m so proud 😊.
Thank you for highlighting Miguel. I have been a huge fan of his structures.
Awesome Mickey! So nice to hear!
This is one of the coolest spaces I've seen. I would love to live in one! Just beautiful and so creative.
Nice! So glad you like!
This is definitely the way to go!! I live in a condo in Florida. I can hear everything that goes on in my neighbors homes. Renovations, dogs barking and outside landscapers. One day I would like to have my own home somewhat like Miguel has created.
Yes, I enjoy the cobin very much
All of these buildings are spiritual and of the land. So beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for the tour!
I really enjoyed watching this video. The builder is so unique and the dwelling areas are beautiful ❤
Why, thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words...
Dear Miguel,
Your buildings are more than dignified. You are an inspiring
artist. Man, i absolutely wanted to live in your spaces. So COZY. Oh man:
The Sauna: Everyday: i wish.
Your spacious walk in shower with removable roof is just a wonderful space to enjoy nature. Your buildings are True Living Art: inside & out
BeYouTiFul. 🥰 Lovely
What very clever use of heat inside outside! Man to have the sense of Hearth & Home with built in heat under the pillow and along the bed is Genius!
What delightful use of glass and abalone shell, is stunningly beautiful. The living housetop
is so cool. Seems like every detail has been thought of
in your beautiful architecture.
I just totally enjoyed this tour you gave us today. Excellent!
Thank you.
Thanks so much Teresa! I really appreciate that!
I'm not sure why they would say that building with the Earth's not sound when ancient civilization did it for centuries and those building are still around
They don’t make any money if you don’t do it their way
$$$
Location. He's in the wrong state. California wants total control over everything and everyone. They want to milk every dime they can get out of people. By building like this they don't get as much in taxes like they would out of a home built out of overpriced materials bought from Lowes or Home Depot.
because we have been brainwashed to be a throw away society
Absolutely beautiful. One of the nicest cob houses I have seen
So beautiful! Detail is gorgeous
I love these spaces! Hobbit Cobin with separate bath and separate kitchen spaces! LOVE! My one question is how they hold up in the rain? Do they take a lot of maintenance through the years? I don’t live far from Miguel, so I’m going to check him out!! Thank you for sharing his work!!! “Brown is the new green” ❤❤
Hi There, Miguel here...Glad you like the Hobbit Cobin! I built this about 12 years ago now and I havent done any maintainance on it at all. The three rules to ensure the longevity of a cob structure is that it has a good pair of boots, a jacket and a hat, namely, a foundation, plaster and roof, which this does... Yes indeed, Brown is the new Green!
@@cobalot9 Miguel, you have great energy and enthusiasm. Your home is beautiful, thanks for sharing.
What an industrious, brilliant and imaginative person. His furnace is absolutely ingenious. The fact that each structure took him no more than a couple of months at the most, that he created separate rooms in which to live his life, so as not to exceed the building code limits before he required permits and that he has a sauna or 'every man needs a home, every man needs a cave'... left me in awe. His creative use of materials from the Earth such as wood, straw & the earth itself plus his willingness to do manual labour shows that the accepted methods of construction & the economic exchange of goods does not have to be the only way. He also used materials we just throw away and materials we regard as inferior building products such as his use of straw for insulation, or even old clothes, shows just how much we have made 'newness' the be all and end all' of our existence. Let's not over look this man's amazing artistry.
I just went along with the flow, never questioning the existing standard nor imagining that I could do things differently. It is too late for me as I am near the end of my life and am too disabled to be able to change. I admire people, such as this man, more than words can say.
I agree with everything you say but it's going to be a long and arduous uphill battle to convince people, especially people who's livelihood depend on modern construction methods and materials, that this method of building isn't shabby, cheap and trashy.
Love the idea of using pallets, filling them with natural insulating materials and then covering them in cob. Brilliant!
This is pretty nice looking well built home. He did a great job of building it. Great video! It was great seeing this home and seeing how it was built.
Bottlestar Gallacticob…lmao😂😂😂 It is amazing!
This would help so many of us struggling to even buy a sticks and bricks home. Oh to be young again lol😅
Oh, wow! I would live there, four sure and certain! Move over monolith, this is my most favorite! Jenna, these types of walk through are amazing! Nice variety in your picks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The bench looks like the top plate of dentures. "The Denture Bencher!" 😁😁😁
Cob is fascinating as well as environmentally practical. Enjoyed the video
He builds with the most plentiful building material on earth, the earth itself.
Earth, grass and pallets.
Think this is a big solution to our homeless crisis. Looks a lot better than tent cities.
Absolute BEAUTY & Utter PERFECTION!! ❤😊❤
Out of the 100’s of videos I’ve watched on alternative living this is one of the best and most important.
That is cool that his public bench was the 1st permitted cob structure in CA. Love that.💕
Awesome man building from what god gave us truly awesome
This is the way for really sustainable homes and the material is at our feet. Great clip and an inspiring man.Thank you for sharing.
First time commenting on this channel and I am amazed for his work!!! It reminds me so much of “The Lord of The Rings” films, I love it!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
These are just so adorable and so awesome looking!
I just love this guy! Bottlestar galacticcob. 🤣
Really great. I've always wondered about how these types of structures could be heated. Now I know.
I lived in Petaluma most of the time I lived in California (27 years!). I loved it there, I wish I never left, but it was just too expensive after I retired. I love these Adobe houses, you did a great job, best of luck to you.😊
I love this concept! Natural, strong, environmentally healthy way of building that's also beautiful and creative. This guy has some beautiful living spaces. I love the natural process he shows. And living roofs are awesome! ❤
These structures are so beautiful when finished🎉
Nicely Done 👍!
Thanks Jenna 😊.
JO JO IN VT 💞
This is amazing & creative!!!! What a perfect way to also help house our veterans, the homeless & help our elderly stay out of nursing homes 🤗🙌😍✝️🙏 May God bless us who want to get our hands dirty to help others!!!!
Thank you for showcasing this man!! He is splendid & such a breath of fresh air! This video was full of light & love in the most invigorating way
Loved this video! Beautiful dwellings and such a smart way to build. Miguel is precious! Thank you
The world really needs to watch this. Absolutely amazing 👍
So freaking cool! 😺💗
I quite enjoyed watching the building process & listening to Miguel’s explanations. I love his word plays😊. Beautiful structures. Thanks
This is Gonna b so Cool🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Tuesday😀….
Really enjoyed that tour. Thanks for the natural elements used to make a home.
My grandparents house in northern Mexico was built like a country house - room by room, as money allowed for each room to be built. The first room was built when they didn't have much, out of Adobe sealed with plaster.
The rooms built later from rebar and concrete are probably stronger, but they are brutal in the summer or winter without heating or cooling. The adobe room is the most liveable one in the house, by far.
Very cool for a pool house.
Wow! Just beautiful! Miguel is a truly gifted artist with a engineer's mind!
Thanks Jen and Miguel 🎉
I want one!
He’s amazing!!!
That process is beautiful. What you have done with it is stunningly beautiful.
I'm speechless! Totally awesome and educational. Thank you
This was awesome!!!
That was wonderful!
I love it! Reminds me of the Earthship I almost built in New Mexico. Absolutely stunning!
Just found your channel. Love it!
Absolutely incredible ❤
Housing is a human right. Not everyone is affluent. I advocate that such simple cost effective and eco-friendlier building methods become the norm as well as renewable energies like solar, wind and water. We need eco-builded cities integrated into the nature. As the economic crisis and wars have a grip on humanity currently, we have to re-thing the whole way we live and want to raise further generations. Thank you for sharing your cob house with us. A great inspiration and the building style was different from the usual earth bags, I find the structure this way more sturdy and the hay isolation can cater the colder climates.
This was absolutely phenomenal! I love it!❤❤❤
Definitely, entertaining to watch. Beautiful and totally original home. 🥰👏🏼
Thank you so inspired ❤❤❤
We have been out to see Miguel and his structures. Beautifully executed and inspiring man. Im Cobsessed!
Love your work. I'm getting alot of inspiration from you now that iam starting my cob journey building on my property
This was amazing. I agree hopefully we can build more homes like those beautiful structures that are environmentally friendly and very affordable. Thank you for sharing. ❤ Happy New Year to all! Sending love, blessings, abundance, joy, health😇💙💫✨💖
So Beautiful. Thank you.

Yea!! 👏🏽👏🏽 I was wondering if he would show up on your channel someday.
Happy to see he put my ideas to use after I showed him my designs for a sauna. 🙂
