Cob: Roofing a cob buildingcharly hightower hightoweraudio at hotmail.comThu Apr 12 00:04:54 CDT 2001
<html><DIV>Hi All! The recent storms have ripped the roof right off of my cob potting/guest house, and I am freaking out, to say the least! We had 60 mile an hour gusts here in Kansas, and all of the recycled tin I used is GONE...since I am not wealthy, and my access to materials is limited, the only free wood I can get at this time is pallets from a local pool company. I thought about decking the existing timbers on my structure with this recycled wood, and then covering it with the leftover sod that the pool-building company throws away. (9 times out of ten, the sod is still living--you should see my yard :)! ) Would this work temporarily, until I can dumpster dive this summer and acquire "new" tin for the roof? Also, are the chems with which these wood pallets are treated very harmful or carcinogenic? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. What a mess! Thanks in advance for your help.
