[Cob] Hello and Introduction (Andrew Purke)

[The Roots]

Hi Andy,

I, like you, have been lurking here for several years enjoying all of 
the great advise everyone shares.  Our family, myself, Donna, Scotty and 
Kaytee are finally getting close to having our own space to begin 
building.  Over the passed several years I have been gathering DIY 
information on everything sustainable and have recently began placing 
all of the PDF files online for others.  There are over 450 files in 
all.  It is a super resource for anyone.  I have only placed about a 
third of them online so far but am adding more continually.  You can 
find them at DIY.EdiblePlanet.org <http://diy.edibleplanet.org>.  If you 
subscribe to the updates you will be contacted anytime I upload new 
files.  By the way, where do you live Andy?

Scott
>>          Greetings all
>>
>>          My name is Andy and I?ve been lurking on this list for some
>>          time now gathering information for my upcoming cob projects.
>>
>>          I?ll be ready to start building in the spring, starting
>>          small with a tool shed and working my way up to an art studio
>>          (about 200 square
>>          feet). Already built a cob oven that worked out great.
>>
>>          The soil here is poor for growing but loaded with clay so
>>          cob seems a good choice of material.
>>
>>          I have the following books to get me started:
>>
>>          The Hand Sculpted House
>>
>>          Building with Cob
>>
>>          The Cobbers Companion
>>
>>          And Becky Bee?s book
>>
>>          But could use some advice from experienced cobbers.
>>
>>          Just wanted to introduce myself before jumping in with
>>          questions so as not to seem rude.
>>
>>          Thanks in advance
>>
>>          Andy
