I've never built anything with cob, but I love the aesthetics of it and that I can build using materials easily at my disposal. I'm reading as many books and watching as many videos as I can about the subject.
The problem is that I live in humid East Texas. In the summer, the days AND the nights are moist and hot. So the thermal mass provided by cob won't really help with my situation. I can't depend on passive heating/cooling here. I'm wondering if I could sandwich a section of aircrete (aka foamcrete) between the walls of cob to provide more insulation. Would this impede cobs ability to let moisture pass through?
