SUMMARY:First Mini Complete Cob Build in only 9 days!!! A Cob Playhouse for the McCarall Family in Chattanooga\, Tennessee
DESCRIPTION:HOST & LOCATION \n  \n\n \nLennie\, Ellie\, Jamie and Sean: a beautiful family! \n\n  \nHello everybody! I am Sean and Jamie (my wife)\, Lennox (3)\, Ellie (4 months) and Alfur (my niece who lives with us) are super excited to host our first cob building adventure. Learning about cob building interests us for multiple reasons. The first being we intend to provide affordable housing for friends\, family\, and travellers in the future. I’ve looked into traditional home building and even on a small scale it costs a small fortune to build. We hope to learn the process and be able to continue to construct small shelters with our family and friends. Second\, I am interested in the eco-friendly nature of cob building seemingly made from more sustainable resources\, requiring less upkeep\, and lasting longer than traditional homes. And lastly the potential for lots of aesthetic appeal. Once we understand the fundamentals I feel as though it can be a truly artistic outlet to creating all different designs in buildings. Something I have not tapped into since I was a child. Having received the “Hand-Sculpted House” as a gift from Claudine who we hosted as she biked through Tennessee (how we met)\, we are now even greater cob aficionados and super excited to build with y’all! \n  \n \nTaco Fiesta with the McCarall Family! \n\n  \n\n A little background on us\, we love the outdoors and experiencing new things. In our free time we enjoy  traveling\, meeting new people\, cooking\, biking\, hiking and camping. My wife and I are geologists by trade and spent 10 years in west Texas living out of our motorhome working and saving up. Then we decided to prioritize building a family and moved to Chattanooga\, TN to start that. We now have a VERY funny 2 year old son and an old soul little 6 month daughter who we want to experience some of the cob magic with us too.\n\n\n\n  \nWe are nestled into a home by Raccoon Mtn and only 10 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. There is plenty of space for everyone whether you would like to stay indoors or out. My wife cooks most of our meals and enjoys changing up cuisine\, while trying to stay healthy so there will always be something good to eat. We look forward to hosting and connecting with everyone and hope you are able to join us on our journey of learning this craft. Expect the weather to be hot (90’s) but with plenty of shade and cool breezes. Bugs are not usually an issue. \n\n\nThe McCarrall Family\n\n\n\n \nOur cozy shaded backyard where we will build the playhouse! \n\n\n\n\nMe and the Fam in April\n\n\n\nMy Goodbye Dinner\n\n\n\nJamie n’ Ellie\n\n\n\nTaco Fiesta Dinner!!!\n\n\n\nMom’s happy! Notice Baby Mohawk:)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nTHE PROJECT \n  \n  \n \nA cob cottage and sauna built by a workshop in the Azores \n\n  \nThis is the very first CruzinCobGlobal 9-day Complete Playhouse Build in which students will learn every step of building a cob building on a micro-scale.  From foundation to reciprocal frame roof\, including cob floor and plaster\, sculpting\, electricity and plumbing\, we will build a 30ft2 round playhouse for Lennie and Ellie.  The idea is to give you a taste of what it’s like to build with cob and\, if you are already a builder or super savvy\, you will DEFINITELY be able to transfer this knowledge and experience to building a full-size cottage.  This workshop is ideal for those who are short on time and money for attending our traditional 35-day full build or who want a taster before committing to the extended workshop (we have one happening just 2 hours east in Pulaski\, TN August 27th to October 1 with time to register…https://cruzincobglobal.org/events/complete-cob-bungalow-in-southern-tennessee-pulaski/). \nThis workshop will be easy on the energy as we will build right behind the family’s home in their tree-studded Tennessee backyard\, in the shade\, and as everything will be small-scale\, each step will be completed in about 1/3 of the time of a usual build\, in which there are 25 working days.  The maximum group size will be 8 as opposed to 15 in the longer-term build.  Students will receive a Certificate for a Mini Complete Cob Building Workshop!  Even though this is a Playhouse\, the workshop is strictly for teens and adults as it will still be an intensive training in order to reach our goal! \nPlease be prepared to work hard and have fun doing so\, bring your favorite playlists and comfortable clothing! \n  \n \nSuccess! \n\n  \n  \nWORKSHOP DESCRIPTION \n  \nThe Mini Complete Cob Building Workshop consists of 9 days (Saturday 12pm through Sunday 4pm) of  learning & construction for 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the afternoon with theoretical instruction (lectures with graphics)  to complement the hands-on experience. \n  \n \nCabo Verdean student making cob breads \n\n  \nStudents arrive on Saturday morning between 10am and noon to settle in (camping or indoors). The workshop begins with a delicious lunch by Chef Jamie at noon\, followed by our traditional Opening Circle\, a Host Site Orientation\, and an Introduction to the Project by Instructor Krystal Alexander. We will open the hands-on learning by digging the trench and filling it up with the first elements of a foundation on Saturday afternoon. \nA Breakfast buffet will be served from 7:15-8:15am and the morning learning/building session begins at 8:45 am and lasts until 1pm with a 20-minute snack pause at 11am. Lunch break is from 1pm to 2:30pm\, which  includes a rest time before the 3-hour afternoon session begins. \n  \n \nSifting plaster materials \n\n  \nThere will be a lecture each day from 2:30-3:30\, followed by more construction time.  After class in the afternoon there will be a 60-minute break before dinner at 7:30pm\, in which students are encouraged to stretch\, do some type of relaxation/movement practice\, and/or just relax. There is sometimes a student informally leading yoga and movement practice in the mornings or afternoons (depending on student preference). There will also be one or more evenings after dinner for showing slides\, videos and having Course-related discussions. Other evenings are free and sometimes students offer up informal courses in their specialties and passions just for fun. Fire circle\, music\, singing\, dancing…are all part of our workshops!  The last night (Saturday) there will be a Council Circle\, also a CruzinCobGlobal tradition. \n  \nDAILY SCHEDULE \n  \nThe Mini Complete Cob Building Workshop begins on a Saturday at noon and ends on a Sunday at 4pm (a week later) with Lunch and a Closing Circle/Graduation.  If necessary due to long-distance travel\, students may arrive on Friday afternoon to acclimate and settle in (please let us know) but will need to cover their own food needs unless a work trade is approved by Host. \nThe daily schedule (subject to slight modifications due to climate/time of year) will be: \n7:15-8:15 Breakfast\n8:45-1:00 Class\n1:00-2:30 Lunch\n2:30-6:30 Lecture/Class                                                                                                                                                      6:30-7:30 Rest/Yoga\n7:30-8:30 Dinner\n8:30-9:30 Slides/Videos/Discussion (once a week) \nStudents are expected to be on time and participate in all sessions and required activities as the goal of building a full construction depends on the whole group working together! \n  \nCOURSE CONTENTS \n  \nStudents will learn every phase of building a cob building from foundation through the reciprocal roof in hands-on building and lectures/theory. In addition to the lectures\, slideshows and videos will be shown to support and enhance their understanding of cob materials\, cob building\, design\, geography \, and budgeting. \nOur hands-on practice will include: \ndigging foundation trench\npouring gravel and inserting drainage pipe (if applicable)\nbuilding foundation stemwall\nanalyzing soils and materials\nmaking test bricks\ndeciding on correct mixture\ndeciding on best location\nmaking cob w/ partner and solo\nbuilding with cob\npreparing and inserting the door\npreparing and inserting fixed and opening windows\npreparing and inserting shelves\ninserting bottle windows\, glass and other objects\ninserting electrical wiring and plumbing in walls\nsculpting\npreparing and applying earthen plasters (1 coat)\npouring an earthen floor (1 coat)\npreparing walls for roof connection\nbuilding roof frame\nputting on sheathing and other elements\nbuilding green roof \nIn addition to Cob Building practices\, the Course material\nalso includes: \nlegal cob construction practices & the international cob code\ncost analysis \n  \nREQUIREMENTS & IMPORTANT INFORMATION \n  \nStudents will need to come prepared for physical work from Day 1. \nThis includes bringing: \nWork clothes appropriate for the country and climate we are in\nWork boots or other closed-toe shoes (for foundation and roof)\nFlip-flops (for cobbing/plaster days)\nRubber dishwashing gloves (for lime mortar)\nWork Gloves\nTape Measure\nBox Cutter\nCarving Knife\nWood Hand Saw (cheap)\nHammer (if u can)\nRounded triangular trowel (5 inches long)\nLevel (2-foot)\nEar Plugs (roof week)\nWood Chisel (standard)\n4”-6” Diameter Round Plastic Container Lids (for plastering)\nGood Moisturizer\nHat\nSunglasses\nSafety Glasses\nWater Bottle\nNotebook/Pen/Camera\nSample of Your Soil (Optional) \n  \nINSTRUCTOR \n  \nKrystal Alexander (Cob Instructor & Builder) \n\n \nKrystal is always joyful when she’s cobbin’! \n\nThe desire to incorporate healthier practices into modern day living has led Krystal to a life of natural building. After years of growing her practice as a Massage and Sound Therapist she was ready to take the next step on her journey of creative and self-sufficient living.
