Cobwebs and spider webs are different things. Spiderwebs are spun from their silk, and you will usuallysee the spider at home in the web. Cobwebs are a mixture of dust and whatever glues the dust together-sorry-I can't be more specific on that part.
Earth is probably still the world's commonest building material. The word cob comes from an old English root meaning a lump or rounded mass. Cob building uses hands and feet to form lumps of earth mixed with sand and straw, a sensory and aesthetic experience similar to sculpting with clay.Cob is easy to learn and inexpensive to build.Because there are no forms, ramming, cement or rectilinear bricks, cob lends itself to organic shapes: curved walls, arches and niches. Earth homes are cool in summer, warm in winter.Cob's resistance to rain and cold makes it ideally suited to cold climates like the Pacific Northwest, and to desert conditions.Cob has been used for millennia even in the harsh climates of coastal Britain, at the latitude of the Aleutians.ob's resistance to rain and cold makes it ideally suited to cold climates like the Pacific Northwest, and to desert conditions.
