[Cob] Aspiring Pennsylvania Cobber

[SKoch18 at aol.com]

I live in Pennsylvania and am looking for information and or a  volunteer 
situation where I could effectively learn the basics of building with  cob, 
cordwood, etc. as well as plaster mixes based on the Northeast  climate. I am 
looking to design and build some sort of hybrid two family  structure within the 
next two years. I want to celebrate a mix of  alternative building practices. 
Areas I am most concerned with are; foundation  alternatives and insulative 
choices. I would like to stick to as close to  a 100% natural approach as 
possible. Thanks for any help or information you  can afford me.
