[Cob] shipping containers

[Jon Kerr]

I'd use the shipping containers for roofing material. Steel roofs  
(rooves?) have a proven track record.

No, it'd be like living inside a semi truck. As Black Elk said,  
sacred things are round. One of the best points in The Hand Sculpted  
House is that the rectilinear plan of modern housing is why we're all  
so crazy. We work in a box, live in a box, eat from a box, while  
sitting in front of a box. Bad bad bad.

  I also agree with previous posters about the steel rusting under  
the cob.
