Cob: The roof

[Amanda Peck]

If you get the top plate tied in to your cob well, you can do almost 
anything.  Living roofs are gorgeous and HEAVY and can be high maintainance 
(say, if your dog decides she'd rather lie on it than eat the strawberries 
later--I pass a place frequently with a small goat and a biggish dog sharing 
the top of their doghouse!).

.........
Micheal thinks (snipped):
I really liked the idea of a cob house, but the roof always bothers me. Even 
my experimental cob dog house only has a flat sod roof (rafters, built into 
the cob, support plywood which in turn is covered by what I think originally 
was a waterbed matress, which in turn will be covered by about 4 inches of 
dirt and strawberries this spring.)
