[Cob] Foundation for inside walls?

[Bonnie Morse]

Deborah, I'm glad you asked this question, because I was wondering about a
foundation for interior walls too.

Have you been able to tour any cob buildings?

As far as drawing up a floor plan, I've been having trouble with that also.
I know a lot of things I'd like to do, but coming up with a design isn't
easy--at least for me.  A couple weeks ago I went to Intaba's restaurant and
then out to the Ahimsa Sanctuary.  Seeing all that cob has really helped me
design my own floorplan.  I think the more cob structures I can actually
visit, the better my floorplan will be.

Ed, Thanks for the info.  One of the reasons I like cob is the ability to
make something other than thin straight boring walls.  I have been playing
with some pretty outlandish looking floor plans and very little of the walls
are straight and thin.  Even when they were, there has been some cobby
feature like a bench or buttress/design element at some point.
I am definitely getting a much clearer understanding of the whole support
system.
Amanda, my common sense thoughts will probably be way overkill before it is
all finished.  I tend to be a little paranoid which kind of skews the common
sense.
