Hi, Planning to work on a cob house and I just wonder where did any of you that have built one before has slept during the building process?
I thought about staying in a tent, or renting somewhere nearby. But feel like there might be more creative ideas that will be more comfortable than a tent but closer to the site than renting in a city.
Thank you

Hi Amit;
I would stay on the land, but rather than in a tent I would build a quick three-sided shed with a metal roof, perhaps on skids.
This way you are off the ground, plus you have a real roof if / when it rains out.
Later this building could be a wood shed, a garden shed, or a spot for visitors to camp.

We are staying in a 5th wheel (like a cross between a trailer and an RV). Not free of course, luckily ours came with the land, but depending on location you can sometimes find a fixer-upper for a bargain.
