We're renovating the house this summer and, among other things, turning a garage into a guest room, which I would like to floor with cob. I don't have the expertise to do it myself, and I don't have the time to learn and experiment (and fail a few times), so I'm looking for someone who knows how to do this and could install it or tell my builder how to do it. (My builder is into green building and wouldn't find this a far out request, but I don't know that he has personal experience from having done it himself.)

Thanks!

Cheers,
Josh

Are there adverts in 'Mother Earth' magazine?
Or similar ones.

I've been in touch with Rising Earth. He's very busy and probably not close enough, but we're talking about it. So far, I haven't had any luck finding anyone else.
