Dear Sue,
Yes, I finally found this email (which I have retitled so I can find it again in the future). THANKS! I was panicking over money, and then remembered about cob and your email! What a relief! I even have books on building with cob, but just forgot about them with all the sales pitches from "traditional builders" and not seeing much of the work around. That says something, doesn't it? I have to make a list of all the ways I can build without much money, and make a website, DVD and book. Including your artwork and ideas. We both make money, yes? I can't believe you spent the time to do this, and THANKS AGAIN!

"I know what you mean about building material costs: they are sky-high in Guatemala, too, while wages are still very low, at $5.00 to $10.00 or $20.00 per day, depending on skill level. It's pretty incredible & not easy for many people down there. Build with COB, you say? This is possible in Central America?"
Remember we spoke about Ianto's book on cob building? all his places are built out of cob only (would be great to use outside of your plastic recycle bottles!) You said there was a cob builder across the lake from you...There is TONS of information on the web about cob building and lots of books at the library. I checked out as many as our area had, then go to the used section on Amazon and buy the one's I really liked. You should have plenty of sand, clay and straw in your area, its certainly a good cheap way to go! Be careful its addicting! you'll be looking at the websites and reading the books, its a very cool thing! Its just like clay, you can model stuff and carve stuff and shapes are only left to your imagination! you can make all your furniture shaped right into the walls! I love it and can't wait to try it in Mexico,. If I had a house I'd be at awhile here, I'd start with an oven and then make lots of remodel jobs with it, arched doorways, half walls, its endless!!!
Hate to give you something that will just eat more of your time but here are a few of the websites I have booked marked. It is not a bad time taker though, cause it could give you a good, cheap way to build one (or some) dwellings in Pana! Just save this email for future reference..

I'm sending a floor I just finished painting for a friend who had plywood put on her cement floor studio. Its done with a wood grain tool and it does a great faux wood look. This floor was done with 4 colors and came out super. It was a big job but it looks great.
The tool, if you haven't seen one, is only $5.... [see other post for photo of floor]
Well got to go... later!

Modern Kit Houses: Thinking Inside the Box
October 15, 2004
HAVENS: LIVING HERE; Modern Kit Houses: Thinking Inside the Box
AS TOLD TO BETHANY LYTTLE
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B05E2DE163AF936A25753C1A9629C8B63
WHO -- Andrew Reid, 33, a mortgage lender, and his wife, Kindra, 29, a law student, from Kirkland Washington.
WHAT -- 3-bedroom Glide house
WHERE -- Chelan, Wash.
Andrew: Here's the kind of thing we'd hear all the time when we'd tell people about the house: ''You're building a mobile home that costs what?'' Even when it was finished, friends would come out and they'd walk around and say: ''Wait, you mean it doesn't have wheels?''
Kindra: We're at the forefront of a new building movement. Manufactured homes, modular construction and prefab housing have been around a long time, but this is something more hybrid, more high-tech than that. The house is stick-built just like any traditional home, but the building happens off-site in a warehouse. Then the house is transported to the site and placed on a foundation.
Andrew: For people like us who live in the Northwest, land of endless rain, it's perfect. The house gets built in ideal dry conditions. All of the materials used are eco-friendly.
Kindra: What's really magic about the house is its beauty. Outside, it's somewhat industrial looking, but inside it's a celebration of nature. There are bamboo floors, wooden cabinets. There's rugged stone tile in the bathroom, and when you stand in the shower, the floor feels like real ground. I used to associate contemporary with cold, impersonal spaces, but this house has completely changed that. It's like living in a Japanese garden. We're on a bluff, and we look out the walls of glass at Lake Chelan and views of high desert surrounded by mountains. It's amazing to walk around in here now and think back to July when it arrived, in two pieces, at the site. As told to Bethany Lyttle

Shipping Containers For Better Housing
HOME:Home-Improvement/New-Construction
Shipping Containers For Better Housing, By James Osborne-Johnson
Level: Basic
Dad was a Master Builder of the old school and known for his quality workmanship. When his teams built a house, it was solid, square and built to last. Before I could follow in his footsteps, the credit squeeze of the 1960's hit, he closed up shop and we went farming, but I have always been interested in developments in the building industry.
Traditional structures are built with frames of timber or steel, and with materials not as plentiful as they were, framing timbers are not the quality they used to be. I still have friends who are in the building game and one is a plasterboard fixer. These days one of his greatest frustrations is trying to hang plasterboard on frames that are not square and which have warping in the timbers. If the underlying structure is not square and flat, the finishing off cannot look as good as it should. He is often delayed in his work while the framers are called back to square up their work.
Consider also the time and material usage in building the frames, erecting and finishing them, all adding to the cost of he structure. Consider also the foundations of the traditional structure, the many stumps to stabilize the floor, or the concrete slab. Then there is the vermin proofing, and decay proofing to add to the costs.
Used shipping containers are built to carry payloads of 20 tons, across the oceans of the world, without distorting or corroding. They are built to precise measurements so that they can be stacked on top of each other, loaded onto trucks, trains and ships and precisely lock into place so they won't move in transit. They are designed so that they can carry their 20-ton payload supported by only the four corners of the container, without distorting and I repeat, they can be sacked on top of each other. They are sealed to be weather proof and secure to prevent break-in and theft.
Of course they have been used for storage sheds and offices on building sites for some time now, because they can be easily relocated without damaging them, They are designed to be lifted and moved by cranes and forklifts. In places like Papua New Guinea they are used as corner stores because of the security they offer as burglar proof, robber proof structures. They are built to be secure.
Mining companies have seen the benefits of using shipping containers as housing for their workers at mine sites for some time as they can be fitted out at a workshop, transported to a mine site and quickly installed and inhabited.
Recently there has been some discussion that the use of shipping containers as housing might be a useful alternative for housing the poor and homeless, but the criticism has been that this will crate ghettos of substandard housing, creating more problems than would be solved.
I would suggest that the humble shipping container represents the greatest revolution in the building industry for some time. As other materials are becoming less available and the issues outlined above persist and increase, shipping containers, which have outlived their original purpose, litter dockyards around the world. They are ready made housing modules, awaiting discovery and use. They are economical building blocks, more solid and durable than traditional materials and methods, which can be erected faster and more accurately than our current styles of housing.
When set on solid foundations, they are cyclone/hurricane proof, would survive earthquakes and landslides better and can be used either above or below ground level.
Of course there are some limitations. Modules predominately come in 8-foot widths and either 10 or 40-foot lengths. Cutting them smaller would compromise their design strength. They already come at standard ceiling height for housing. However, sidewalls can be opened up for wider living areas, but designs need to be multiples of the standard dimensions of shipping containers. And of course, they look like shipping containers, unless of course, with a little imagination, you clad them as you would any other form of housing. And there will be some building authorities for whom these are outside their ability to perceive the benefits and approve.
Realistically the limitations are only our lack of imagination in utilizing these amazing building blocks for safer, environmentally friendlier, more economical shipping container housing. They have been approved as housing structures and additions in various authorities around the world and any change takes some effort to bring about.
For those who can catch the vision, here is an opportunity waiting to be explored further.
