This book is the only place you will find the latest lab tested information on the structural and thermal properties of cob and what you need to know to use it appropriately. Includes instructions on mixing, connections to foundations and roofs, and options for beautiful, durable finishes. Also included are tips for planning, budgeting, quality control and permitting, plus the Cob Construction Appendix of the International Building Code (residential) in case you need to quote chapter and verse.
