[Cob] Test Bricks

[Janet Standeford]

Thank you. I put them in the trailer I don't heat but which gets some 
from the yurt it's attached to.
The shake test looked almost identical to the shake test in the book 
"The Cob Builder's Handbook".
It looked like the same ratios.

This is so exciting and it is awesome to be able to share it with all of 
you. People I talk ro in person are excited about it to some extent but 
they really don't understand it like you do.
