Cob: RE: Re: Temperatures

[andrea arnold]

in response to conversation and comments of Darel and
Graham's email:

cordwood, when insulated has insulation values of
about 22-24, which I think is similar to straw bale
perhaps?  Cordwood can be mortared w/cob instead of a
cement based mortar.  Cordwood is popular in eastern
Canada so that should tell you it's a good for cold
climates.  check out cordwoodmasonry.com or books by
Rob Roy.
