[Cob] Cob plumbing, wiring

"there is very little difference between plumbing/wiring a cob building or a
conventional structure." Shannon C. Dealy

I've been thinking about this. Traditionally, both plumbing and wiring goes
inside the frame of a stick house. Cob walls are massively thick, from a
fort and a half to two feet. Kinda hard to place anything inside them, and
if one did there would be the issue of getting to them for repair.

How do you propose plumbing and wiring in such a way as to meet engineering,
code and artistic needs?
