Happy new year Gregory! I am Idris a resident of Goshen. I have been researching natural building and have made some trips to Southern Indiana, a more likely environment to be rooted in Nature. I was driving around Goshen today when I saw your on-going project. It is beautiful! Do you do talks and workshop about your work? Do you offer courses/classes in natural building? Thanks!
Hi Idris, visitors are welcome. I’ll email you to find a good time. Greg
Hi,
Your home is beautiful.
Do you know of any cob homes fir sale in northern Indiana?
Are you a builder?
Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Rita Garand
Thank you for your interest in my projects. I don’t know of any cob houses for sale in northern Indiana. There is very little natural building activity in this area that I am aware of. The house I am currently working on has turned into a long term project as I’m only working on it part-time. I do want to sell it at some point, but that will be at least 2-3 years away.
Hi Greg,
I am Mary Catherine from South Bend. I am currently looking into learning about building with cobb and straw and wanted to know more about your experience with it, in our climate. I normally would say that I would love to attend a workshop but given the reality of the pandemic, I would love to even just have a phone conversation. Please let me know if there is anyway to connect. Thank you!
