Cob castle turretWill Firstbrook WCB of BC wfirstbr at wcb.bc.caWed Feb 25 17:18:18 CST 1998
Hi Fellow Cobbers, In our ongoing plans & ideas for our dream home. We want a whimsical castle design for part of the house. I feel that a castle isn't a castle unless it has several turrets. So I was thinking of building a cob wall and corbelling an arch to the base of the area where we wish to have the turret using some sturdy branches for extra strength. When embedding the floor joist to the second floor extend the joists through the wall out into the base of the turret area and continue building the second floor wall and the turret. Does this seem reasonable? Does anyone have any other great ideas on how to do this? Regards, Will
