Cob: RE: COB heat

[Patrick Newberry]

Yes, humidity is quite high. I address that issue by using fans and having very few interior walls. 
I have one fan located over my north facing front door where a opening like the old doors with the window over the
door allows hot air to flow, well I have a fan over it blowing inward, then place misc fans around the house, 
plus I have one  ceiling fan, then vents (tubes) at various place around the house. Thus even with mostly fixed
windows, I still get a fair amount of airflow, plus I believe the lime plasters absorb a fair amount of moister.

Pat,

Hot water, cold beer, what else do you need, right?  Anyway, thanks for the feedback.  What about humidity?  Is humidity high in your part of the world, does it pose an issue?  I imagine that if you can maintain decent airflow, comfort doesn't become an issue?  Not sure.  

Thanks again!

Shawn
