[Cob] Coblist Digest, Vol 5, Issue 27

Thu May 3 07:25:50 CDT 2007

Cat here!

I was in the design business working with contractors and building 
inspectors.  Yes you have it right, all the way and expect the insurance 
bugs to get into the act and really mess with natural building.  Myths are 
made in congress to make money for the powers that be.  That lets you and me 
out of the loop.
