Cob <<!!HELP!!>>

[Patrick Newberry]

Just out of curiosity, where is the class being held?
I mean they didn't offer that class at any of my schools, but I wish 
they would have. It Sounds great!
I think some slides or photos of homes would help. 
Mention things like how long folks in england have lived in cob 
homes, and that a some people would never guess that these homes 
are cob houses. I'm not sure what the actual percentages are 
but I'd say a large percent of the world's population live in earthen 
homes of some type.
