My father, who built two homes single-handedly [snip] I don't know anything about permit issues related to this building, but Cob Cottage Company did do a building in Ontario a few years back, the walls were a cob/strawbale "sandwich", I don't remember much about the location except that it was affiliated with a project involving Patch Adams, and a quick web search came up with this: Rainbow Valley Community Health Centre in Killaloe, Ontario, Canada It may be worth pursuing further for someone in the area. I suppose you could also just give Cob Cottage Company a call for the specific location. Shannon C.
