Cob: Earth Floor!

[Vicki Wicker]

Only been using mine about a month now, so don't have much experience yet. 
I know it seems a lot more durable after the linseed oil is on and dried. I 
don't know why that would be. And watch out for sharp stuff. Like we had 
some lawn chairs that had lost the little plastic caps off the end s of the 
legs and it made circles on the floor, However, I would imagine the same 
damage might have been done to a soft wood or lino. If you're real worried 
you could put down area rugs where you think you're going to drop your 
coffe can : )
