Cob: western PA questionsCharmaine R Taylor tms at northcoast.comMon Feb 25 21:55:59 CST 2002
Hi Beth- Misha & Elishiva built a 2 story cob house here in the Sierra foothills of N CA, with a loft on the second "floor" - you can view photos at: they used tiny Swedish style steps which are half widesteps-one for each foot, but half as wide so space is saved- and you have to pay attention to walk up them! http://www.northcoast.com/~tms/cobhouse.html they use driftwood for window lintels, recycled glass etc, a snow warped tree trunk was the main roof beam. Also Mark in OH may be close enough to you: Mark does a lot of teaching, and works with youth too on cob building. Mark A.
