[Cob] On Top of Tires also outgassing.

www.dirtcheapbuilder.com  There's only her.  I type that in so often I 
forgot to check it.

I'm not sure how the house that OK OK OK productions built in the Virgin 
Islands (I think) was covered.  Those are the people whose book is linked.  
Lime might be locally available anwhere there's coral rock--you do want to 
start with the hydrated stuff, not quicklime as it comes from the lime 
kiln--quicklime is safe enough, I keep being told, if you already know how 
to do it, and are set up to do it, but....

Lime, beloved by the all natural set (I've got a fair amount soaking!) may 
be only marginally more green than concrete.  As long as you don't go in for 
all-concrete amphitheaters, you can defend youself.  For the most park it is 
more forgiving and easier to work--and repair--than the alternatives.

Cob that gets a lot of windblown rain will need to be re-surfaced every so 
often.  This is true in the Pacific North-west as well.

Take a look at that URL. Something's wrong.
Thanks.
