If an otherwise contentional (totally cute and natural) cob structure could be made to have a little insulation value, it'd be the best of all worlds. So, if there were little mini bales that were, say 16" long x 10" wide x 8" tall, they could provide moderate insulation value and be small enough to be wrapped around a cob structure, embedded in the walls - so to speak. Placed wherever they'll fit. Robert Bolman
