Cob: cob domes-a showl all videoCharmaine R Taylor tms at northcoast.comThu Oct 3 21:47:53 CDT 2002
Darel- Yes the bags don't have to be the long ones, any sacks will do I guess.. rember it is Cal- Earth's view of an emergency shelter, not mine. but a thick walled shelter for a long term would be better than a tent, especially with wind and rains. there is one dumb thing I thought...instead of building an alm9ost complete base circle and folding back the bags to allow for a "door:"opening, (simply laying a board under the upper corbelled bags to support them would have worked great). they cut through the finished dome to make a door, and dirt poured out and the bag needed to be sealed off...more work it seems, but then not everyone agress with my logic : > Ms. Charmaine Taylor/ Taylor Publishing http://www.dirtcheapbuilder.com http://www.papercrete.com PO Box 375, Cutten (Eureka) CA 95534 707-441-1632
