[Cob] report from Serbia

My mistake:

>On slopes, houses often have basements with stolen walls.

It should be stone walls. Sorry  :-)
We steal only Windows ;-)

Anyway, my point was that any wooden structure implements would weaken the
cob construction but I wanted to check your opinions.
What will be if cob was used as a replacement for earth and chaff mixture?
Cob is superior to earth and chaff but doesn't tolerate other elements in
the structure like wooden supports. Right?

best regards
Predrag
