- A Montana couple spent over 2 years building their 700-square-foot cob house by hand.
- Daniel Ray, the owner, estimates that they spent less than $20,000 on the entire construction.
- Now, the couple runs a business hosting workshops to teach others how to build their own sustainable houses.
Building an earthen home from scratch might sound daunting to some, but for Daniel and Katherine Ray, it's their way of life.
The Montana couple, who started dating in high school, first came across cob houses when they were in college. Cob is a natural building material made out of clay, sand, and straw.
