Dear folks,

I just happened on this discussion list at a time when I was seriously
looking for alternative housing.  I've been studying up on compost toilets
and wastewater systems, and had thought I would just build myself a shack if
I can sell my house.  

The cob structures are so beautiful!  I have a question already, and hope
it's not too primary for this list:

One gentleman talked about a concrete foundation.  If you went that route,
would you put in traditional wood floor joists & subfloor?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
