We're packing to head up into BC shortly, so will be in pondering mode for a bit. A couple of things I'll be pondering (and would welcome comment upon). - Earthen floors for thermal mass in a more conventional structure - Covering strawbales with cob (does the cob share the load-bearing?) - Has anyone ever considered interior walls of cob in a conventional structure (if cob is not feasible wherever we end up)?
