“Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there’s no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I’ve lost my mind
I tell them there’s no hurry
I’m just sitting here doing time” ~Watching The Wheels, John Lennon

OOOOOOH!!! These are SUCH good videos. I just love when you post these. As I mentioned in another comment, this is my dream to build either a hay bale house or cob. I just LOVE the earthy organic feel of these things. Imagine if whole towns looked like this. I love the rounded lines and sense of Earth around me. The houses that most of us live in are SO toxic and completely soulless. Thank you for taking the time to find and post all of these. You are just GREAT!!! Hugs, Robin

I always like reading your comments, Robin.
Thanks for your compliments. The earthy, organic aesthetic of these types of homes are part of what makes them beautiful.
