What a nice idea! ........... Jenny Walker wrote about the book The Seven Silly Eaters: The story revolves around a house that is featured in the artwork (by Marla Frazee) on nearly every page and from many different angles. Even though it's a kids' book, the illustrations work together so you get a very good idea of the layout at least of the first floor. I mention it because I'm sure it would look great in cob, even has a stone kneewall...also, having read Christopher Alexander's books, I noticed it contains many great 'patterns'....Farmhouse kitchen with alcove, stairs as a stage, sheltering roof, cascading roofs...and probably more. As a large family is featured in the illustrations too, its easier to get a feel for living in such a place. If you go for the rural, gable roofed look, and you're designing away, it may be worth checking out, _______________________________________________ Coblist mailing list Coblist at deatech.com http://www.deatech.com/mailman/listinfo/coblist _________________________________________________________________ Cell phone switch rules are taking effect find out more here. http://special.msn.com/msnbc/consumeradvocate.armx
