FW: Cob: Re: FW: Steel Frame?

[W]

Hello Kristina
I just wanted to add that steel framing would also act as a point of condensation inside the wall.  This may or may not be a problem with cob, depending on the thickness of the walls, and/or other factors?  (It would certainly be a problem in an SB wall, but that's a moot point in this case)
I also understand that steel framed (conventional) homes tend to be less quiet than their wood-framed counterparts, as the steel acts as a sound "bridge" as well as thermal.
