These are the most beautiful clay homes, but I don't think they'd survive a
wet climate. I've been trying to figure out if clay could be fortified to
repel water over time. Maybe.but it might be constant upkeep. They make
sinks from cob. But I've never seen one. It sounds like good linseed oil is
spendy and animal oils would attract vermin.
