Cob: Post plywood....light straw clay and other questions about retrofitting

[Robert B Krueger]

cob folk,  you have been most helpful!!....but here are a few more
issues:

Question 1:        With the slip form method for using light straw clay
or wood chips, how long can I expect the stud wall to last in this
situation.  Because the walls are linear, will there be a problem with
weight/stability?

Question 2:        When removing plywood flooring in th loft, I would be
left with wooden floor joists. Could I overlay this with 2" x 6 " fir
decking?

Question 3:        There is a perimeter, continuous concrete foundation
(in good shape).  Can this be filled in with cob (or what?) to increase
the floor mass?

Question 4:         The insulation in the roof would be replaced with
wool insulation.  Does this need to be washed and carded or left as is in
plastic??

Thanks everyone!
Rob Krueger
