[Cob] Cob Washington, DC area

[Henry Raduazo]

	I was wondering if anyone is interested in a small cob workshops in  
April comparing machine mixed cob to cinderblocks? I would like to  
compare relative speed and cost for wall construction. We will be  
using a lawn mower to chop straw into short mixable pieces and using  
a rototiller to mine and mix clay with sand, straw and water. The cob  
will then be picked up with a dirt fork and moved to a block  
foundation on wheelbarrows.
	Participants in this study will get a two hour lecture on cob, a  
copy of The Hand Sculpted House and lunch in exchange for 6 to 8  
hours of hard work and some practical experience in wall building.
	The workshops will take place at my house one mile from the Mount  
Vernon Estate.
