Hi-
I've been working on a small (roughly 300 sq feet) earthbag house in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for several years now. The "building" season up there is pretty short so this June I will just be getting to the cobbing part. I keep it covered in construction grade plastic when I'm not doing work on it.
Seeing as I live 7 hours from building site, and the remote area its being built in does not have much to offer for materials- I have to haul most of them up. I want to get a rough idea of how much bagged clay I'll need to bring up, as well as a rough count of
straw bales and yards of sand Ill need delivered. I know there's no one for all recipe for
cob, but does any one have any sort of rough calculations for the amounts of materials vs. sq footage being covered?
