[Cob] refrigeration and cob bathtubs!

[Amanda Peck]

I realized that my travel trailer has an ammonia absorption 
refrigerator--not the intermittent one like the Icyball, but same principle.

Home Power magazine back in '96 had an article on building an absorption 
refrigerator.  You COULD find it--without pictures and diagrams--in HTML if 
you looked in Google.  Are the Vaneks here related to the woman writing and 
editing books on natural building, I wonder.

Back a while Charmaine heard from someone who had made a cob bathtub using 
hemp oil as the sealant.  Heard anything new from the woman who did it?  We 
all want one!  Or I guess we could recoat our roof once a year if it would 
take that--combination of sun and water would make it less likely, I'd 
think.

Mike Swink on a bunch of things, including waterproof earthen containers and 
this:
  The old crosley icy ball is a prime example that only uses sunlight or 
small coleman burner that creates 99 F.Degrees. Just put in google ICYBALL 
and Crosley.
