For years I have been dreaming about building my own cob house but the piece of land I have acquired is on a slope so instead of a large investment in retaining walls my alternative is to build on stilts, this also means that I do not have to disturb the land too much. As this is in quite a warm area I do not have to have very thick walls but I am concerned about the weight of the walls on a raised structure. In my mind Straw Light Clay cannot be heavier than logs, is there any advice on the weight of SLC and if it is suitable for walls on stilts instead of wooden walls?
