FW: Cob: experience is overrated -- an eight-year-old with a cookbook cou...

        Regarding experience and eight year olds: One of the most enjoyable 
classes that I have taught since my retirement was a cob birdhouse class for 
children ranging in age from 5 to 9 years old. You do not have to go out and 
build a house for experience. You can build a birdhouse, a dog house, a recycling 
center (to hold trash cans and recycle bins or even an interior wall 
(provided you have good floor support).
       I believe in taking big chances with small projects. You get valid 
experience which can be applied to larger projects. After I finish plastering my 
wall, my next goal is to find someone who wants to build a children's 
playhouse which will be partly built with child labor.
