Cob: Interesting proposalCharmaine R Taylor tms at northcoast.comTue Oct 30 20:07:27 CST 2001
Hi Jeff, not sure what you mean by marketing, but since cob and all OB construction is sooooo labor intensive I can't see how it can be marketed but haven't thunk on it deeply yet. Do you mean in finding more customer work for yourself? Teaching people to build their own privacy walls, and green house attachments, etc. may be it, or as an after market development of add ons, like a studio on the property, (fits into the 120 sq.' codes) or guest cottage as usable space. here is a great link to Bo Atkinson, who pours in cement, but the IDEA is if you could promote cob instead, then building this type of courtyard and add-on to a home might work. Bo Atkinson- sand form sculptor- great ideas to make tufastone on your own, cob, etc. Euro Adobe garden walls http://www.midcoast.com/~bo/EuroAdobe.html Charmaine Taylor/ Taylor Publishing http://www.dirtcheapbuilder.com -------------- next part -------------- <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Hi Jeff, not sure what you mean by marketing, but since cob and<b> all OB</b> construction is sooooo labor intensive I can't see how it can be marketed but haven't thunk on it deeply yet.
