[Cob] Lime putty on cob and adobe.

[phil]

I have added dry lime to cob mix (1% or so) when using cob as the mortar for cordwood. We limited this to the bottom two feet of wall and only added it to give the cob better resistence to water damage. The cob harden much faster and is a little more rough on the hands and feet but the results were excellent.
