This cob house was built between August 2003 and March 2006 on Mayne Island, British Columbia, Canada. It is a post and beam structure. Above you can see the bark being peeled from the trunks that went to make the posts standing on concrete pilars.

The house has beautiful windows and lovely touches like the japanese fishing float which was cobbed into the study wall and another fishing float above a shelf in the study where there is a light runs down a pipe that is cobbed into the wall so that the glass float will glow. Coulourd bottles (below) have also been used above the kitchen window.

The front door frame is a single cedar bough. The small round window to the right of the door is an old piece of Kate's family crystal. Clay and sand wre used to make the interior plaster.
