Cob: Inspectors

[Amanda Peck]

Depending on what your inspector's like, Ianto Evan's book is  good, and he 
is an architect, talks a lot about what will make cob work.  And there are 
also the two pretty technical books on Earth Construction:  Earth 
Construction--Houben and Guilaud, and Earth Construction Handbook--Minke.  
Most of your sources for books will have the Evans, including Ms. Taylor 
from Dirt Cheap Builders who posts here.  I got the last two--not 
cheap--from Amazon. Might be handled as a donation to the department, not a 
bribe to the inspector.  I always think books.  My mother owned one, I had 
money in one once.

Ok, we have the land, we have the start time and we will have the money 
(well, sort of!!) so we now also have a building inspector who wants to know 
"what is cob?".
