[Cob] light clay

[Amanda Peck]

There are a bunch of CASBA's. the one with the .org seems to be something on 
the order of the California State Bicyling Association, and all that's on 
that web site is a cute logo--cute enough to send to a bunch of bicycling 
friends.

California Straw Bale people had to use this URL, even if the other one 
seems to be inactive:

http://www.strawbuilding.org/

didn't see any reports on papers, this year's meetings are coming up soon, 
interesting links to the California rice straw people.

at the CASBA  straw meeting last year a  commercial builder in Nevada City 
did a presentation on the 12" thick LSC walls he  handled for a couple.

He quited R25 for a 12" wall..the walls had larson trusses, and there was 
little thermal brisging as I recall.. but I still think R25  is high...

  my guestimate would be R20- R22 or so... if NOT too much clay is used.


view the  www.casba.org page and they may have more info there
