Cob: wall replacement

Thu May 24 19:01:25 CDT 2001

Hello everyone,
I haven't written anything in a long time, but I have been reading everything 
that comes in.  Now I have a problem...
Three years ago I built a cordwood house, and the logs shrank to the point of 
being drafty.  Last year I plastered over the interior with cob.  My problem 
now is I have chunks of mortar falling out.  

I am wanting to replace the cordwood, a section at a time, with cob.  Since I 
have the interior plaster I will not be exposed.  I need advice!  This is 
something I have never done before, and if anyone has any experience or 
insights I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.
Chris M.
