[Cob] Cob Bar

[Leslie Moyer]

I wouldn't think a foundation would be necessary....there shouldn't ever 
be enough standing water in the building to compromise it.  If you 
wanted to, I think that a short stone foundation--just 6 or 8 inches or 
so--would elevate it enough off the ground so that mopping it wouldn't 
be so messy....and since you're on the ground floor of a 4-story 
building, an upstairs water leak could--in theory--cause standing water 
downstairs.  A stone foundation would also give the bar something to 
"grip" on the otherwise-slippery ceramic tile floor.  If it were me, I'd 
basically outline the bar's footprint in stones, fill in with stone 
inside that footprint, then mortar them in and then start my cob on top 
of that.
