[Cob] Interior Walls and Happy New Year everybody!!

[Amanda Peck]

Yes.  Very appropriate/feasible/realistic to do cob interior walls.  
Especially if those interior walls help brace the exterior.  They will need 
footings/foundations because even if they aren't as thick as the outside, 
they are still plenty heavy, need to be tied into the outside walls.  If you 
didn't want to do ALL the walls that way, "light clay" (clay/straw or 
clay/wood chips--sawdust etc.) would be OK too.  Especially if you really 
wanted them straight (up and down and length as well), because they are 
often made as slip-formed walls  (Generally see post and beam framing with 
these).

Happy New Year -

I want to build a cob home with post and beam ceiling/roofing, stone  
floors,
fireplace and a cement foundation.  (In the planning stages  right now which
will include taking workshops in Oregon at the appropriate  time.)

Is it appropriate/feasible/realistic to use cob for interior walls  too?
