[Cob] flooring

[Rainbow]

Greetings and peace be with your spirits,

I am hoping to build an earthbag dwelling, but think the methods of 
foundations and flooring is probably sympathetic with cob building.

What sort of foundations or footings are required for cob/earthbag 
dwellings, please?  Also, regarding flooring, I had hoped to lay 
flagstones.  When we lived in England parts of our house were over 900 
years old, and the flooring was just flagstones imbedded in sand 
somehow.  Would this be suitable for flooring in a cob/earthbag home, 
if I dug and leveled the floor then lay the flagstones in a sand bed, 
similar to 'crazy paving' porches or patios?

Any advice is greatly appreciated...  I am looking forward to this 
journey!

Best of days to you,

fight in your heart?  The grandfather answered, The one I feed."
