[Cob] Looking for answers

[Jeff Houston]

I have a few questions about Cob building. I hope someone can help me 
out or point me in the right directions. First off is I have a bad back. 
In fact I am on disability because of it. I can do minor things, but 
lifting heavy objects repeatedly is definitely not one of them. So my 
main question is, exactly HOW hard is it to build one of these? I love 
the idea, and love the concept. I would LOVE to build one of these 
myself but I am just not sure I am physically able to do it. I was 
hoping someone could give me an idea of exactly how strenuous, 
particularly on the back this process is. I do plan to get some help, 
and maybe they could do the bulk of the heavy stuff but I am just not 
one to sit around and watch and most likely would try to jump in and do 
some things I will regret the next day. I dont want to continually be 
doing something thats gonna lay me up for a few days before I can jump 
back into it. Now for my next question. I am in North Carolina and have 
been scouring the internet for some workshops here in NC. I found one 
but the scheduled date for it was like 2011 I think it was, several 
years ago:) So I think I missed that one! Does anyone know of some 
ACTIVE resources in North Carolina that I could get up with? It seems 
everyone I have found online have not been around very much in the last 
year or two. I apreciate any and all help I can get on either of these 
two subjects!
