Cob: COB OR EARTHSHIP?COB OR EARTHSHIP?

YOUR RESPONSE TO GAIL PROMPTED ME TO WRITE
 FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING(A FEW MONTHS) AT BUILDING A HOME I 
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A COB HOME. I LIVE IN RURAL ARKANSAS AND IM CONCERNED 
WITH KEEPING IT COOL AND DRY, MOSTLY COOL!
I READ THE COB COTTAGE BOOK(FORGOT THE AUTHOR)AND WAS A BIT DISCOURAGED 
THINKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF MANY FAILED ATTEMPTS AT GETTING A GOOD 
STRONG MIX. THESE ARE PROBABLY THE MAIN REASONS WHY I AM LEANING TOWARD AN 
EARTH SHIP,BUT THEN WE ARE TALKING MORE MONEY.
    IM OBVIOUSLY FISHING FOR ENCOURAGEMENT IN EITHER DIRECTION. WE DON'T HAVE 
BIG MONEY OR THE DESIRE TO AQUIRE DEBT. THIS IS SOMETHING WE FEEL GREAT 
PURPOSE TO DO AND WILL APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION OR SHARED EXPERIENCE.
    
                        KEEPIN' ON,
                                MATTHEW
