Cob: moving into the mainstream

Mon May 12 20:59:31 CDT 2003

        Starting tomorrow I will begin building a cob wall as part of a 
conventional Washington, DC suburban dwelling. The wall will be 11 ft. wide 
by 9 ft high by 2 ft. thick.  It's purpose is to moderate Washington's summer 
heat and act as a heat storage and reflecting wall for a small wood stove in 
the winter.
       I will be using a combination of machine mixing and tarp mixing in an 
attempt to lower the amount of hand (and foot) labor involved and to deal 
with clay and stone mixture that is a little hard on the feet.
       I expect to be working on this project off and on for the next few 
weeks or months depending on how fast the mixing goes. 
       Anyone in the area interested in experiencing cob first hand is 
welcome to come by and help.
