Cob: wall replacementOssirris273 at aol.com Ossirris273 at aol.comThu May 24 19:01:25 CDT 2001
Hello everyone, I haven't written anything in a long time, but I have been reading everything that comes in. Now I have a problem... Three years ago I built a cordwood house, and the logs shrank to the point of being drafty. Last year I plastered over the interior with cob. My problem now is I have chunks of mortar falling out. I am wanting to replace the cordwood, a section at a time, with cob. Since I have the interior plaster I will not be exposed. I need advice! This is something I have never done before, and if anyone has any experience or insights I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
