   Cob Not cob but rammed earthJBr9673764 at aol.com JBr9673764 at aol.comThu Sep 24 20:14:21 CDT 1998 
 I will build a shed size building next year of an alternative building material (note positive affirmation!). Am comparing cob, cord, rammed earth. Does anyone have a source of specs for rammed earth bricks? How hard to compact it--I saw plans for a press for making dirt bricks in the archive but the URL was defunct. Am looking for plans/specs so I can get my brother-in- law to build hydraulic dirt squisher. Spent an hour or two in the archives and came close but I kept wandering down different, fascinating threads! Thanks in advance Jeff
