Cob: RE: Any body building with cob in the Athens, Ga. area?

[Patrick Newberry]

As far as clay goes, No problem, lots of good Georgia red clay there. 
I'm  not sure of the percentage of clay / sand in the local soil I'm
sure it's
available locally. 

As far as codes go, the only info I know is that some years ago, a
friend tried
to build a strawbale sturcture and was turned down. 

Again, I'm not sure what county they were in but it was near Athens on
the Broad river.

Hello, we are hoping to relocate to the Athens area in the spring. We
hope to find a nice patch of land and hopefully incorporate cob into our
building and design methods. Any info about codes and availability of
land w/ clay/sand in the area would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
