I am looking for advices
I am planning to built an insulated cob house
-5inch cob- 7inch insulation (cellulose)- 5inch cob
           with sticks olding the 2 cob walls together.
-drier cob poured in forms ± 10inch high at a time
-post & beam structure to hold the roof
    My mix is made out of mason sand-clay-staw
    it takes too long to dry, I'd add lime so it hardens
    faster.
 
Are my walls tick enough?
opinions, info about lime? 
Is the wall breathing with lime, or portland?
