[Cob] Coblist Digest, Vol 5, Issue 139

[Dulane]

Ask around for people throwing away their above ground swimming pools (for 
the rubber). It would be great to keep that out of the land fills.

| Pool or pond liner might work. Use adhesive to attach it to the plywood 
and leave enough liner as overhang to go partway up the inside area of the 
castellations to prevent any water that might be present, especially during 
a heavy rainfall, from penetrating the cob, Maybe use pvc through the cob as 
drainage holes too.

| Subject: [Cob] roof suggestions wanted
|
| Hi everyone,
| Like many of you, I'm hurrying to finish my project before the hard
| freezes.  It's a play castle, sides straight up, castellations along the
| roof--like a rook in a chess game.  The roof is going to be flat.  But, I
| am one who has little construction experience (yet!) so I'm looking for
| suggestions on how to do the roof.  I was thinking of using a piece of
| plywood, and I envision nestling it in at the bottom of the castellations
| and providing drainage pipes for runoff.  But what I don't know is what
| kind of material to use on top of the plywood to make it waterproof.
| Ideally, one of the castellations would be more widely separated than the
| others, and I will provide footholds along the wall so the children can
| climb up to the roof.  So whatever goes on the plywood to make it
| waterproof should be something that can handle a certain amount of foot
| traffic.  Anyone have an idea what I can use?
| Carrie
