[Cob] icynene

[Amanda Peck]

I have a "mostly natural" friend who does a fair amount of building who 
thinks it's the best thing since--oh, maybe stir fried ginger and 
vegetables--for other purposes.  I've had the same wondering, though.

Most people would say that there had to be ventilation directly under the 
roof, even it it's only half an inch or so ending at a vent at the ridge.  
Not sure but maybe on a stem wall, though?

have any experience with icynene insulation and cob?
It has good R-values and is more mouldable than your
regular insulation.  It says that it will stick to
metal - which might be a good choice with a metal roof
on a cob cottage.  However, it is waterproof - toally
and that makes me think that it might not be a good
combination with cob.
