Cob foundation cementvtrac at alternatives.com vtrac at alternatives.comThu Feb 26 05:41:23 CST 1998
Hello everyone, We are building a small cob meditation space in our backyard and are now in the process of building our stone foundation. We already have the rubble trench in and are now laying the large stones. Our wall is only about 12 inches wide which makes it a little harder to dry stack. We are considering using some type of mortar to jam into the stones but do not want to use cement. We are thinking that perhaps straight cob would work fine, but we are wondering what natural materials could be added to give the cob more strength, adhesion and waterproofing properties? Has anyone drystacked a narrow wall (1 stone width in size)? How solid, safe is it? If anyone has any experience with this thanks Ian Marcuse
