Cob Re: central directory of houses

Ok, I've created a form to submit your cob or strawbale house to a central
directory. You can submit your location, as well as any commentary on your
experiences with your particular house. You can link to a photo and/or a web
site.

<http://www.eskimo.com/~mpayson/houseform.html>

I have no intentions/delusions that this list will ever be comprehensive, but
it will hopefully be a good overview. Once I get enough submissions, I'll put
up the site. It'll be sorted by location, so you can easily locate houses in
your area.

Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated!
Mike
