[Cob] (cob) roof, poles, and so on

[Amanda Peck]

Me too.

With a plate to support the second (half) story.

Ianto's idea of lowering the roof onto the building doesn't appeal to me at 
all, though.

I thought an innovative design was to build a 'temp' roof over the project 
area, supported by posts that were a few feet OUTSIDE the building envelope, 
planned in such a way to be supportive ENOUGH during construction but such 
that the earthen walls could be built up to the roofline without having to 
either bury or take out the supports.....therefore these posts become the 
posts for the wraparound porch that also seems like a great idea for earthen 
walls - no interference but protection during construction which is a nice 
plus if you run into a stretch of bad weather!
