Cob: Building Cob Home in the Dry Tropics

[David Peterson]

Hello,

   I live in the dry tropics of North Queensland, Australia.  We have 9
months of dry warm weather with 3 months of hot, very humid and occasionally
rainy weather.  Would this be a suitable climate to build a cob home in?  I
know cob walls can be built much thinner than the regular 2 - 3', but how
thin can they be built?  How can cob homes be modified to fit into tropical
climates?

cheers,

David
