Hi Charmaine,
It's been a while since I've posted instead of just "a lurkin' ", but I want
to chime in here.  I had a conversation recently with a prospective cobber
in your area & she was very concerned that building with cob there might
fall victim to the dreaded Northcosast Black Mold.  What you say gives
promise to this as not being a problem.  Can you say more ?  What is the
source of this position re mold & cob & is it actually proven to not be
succeptable to interior mold in such cold & damp marine climates as found in
maritime N. Calif. & (I guess) even further North?

I enjoy your always informative contribution to the list.
