No I've not heard, as far as I know it's still doing fine after a maybe 10 years. I'll ask next time I see him.

(was there something like this that had to be torn down, with great difficulty?) ............. Pat wrote: My brother-in-law once was doing a cob dome, in a very arrid area. He decided to use some rebar, but the mud did not stick to the rebar very good. He then would coat the rebar in cement, which stick quite well to the rebar. Let it dry, then use the mud. He never used it in the walls, only in one overhead dome section. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
