Cob building shrinkage

Wed Jan 27 23:32:10 CST 1999

I have noticed that log house builders leave an insulated gap above
door and window frames to allow for structural settling and shrinkage.
Does cob shrink much as it cures? Has anyone had a problem with 
windowframes or lintels being pulled out of skew as the building progresses?
