[Cob] Fwd: Are you willingShody Ryon qi4u at yahoo.comSat May 19 00:04:50 CDT 2007
Hi Barb, Is the bond beam concrete? Will it be as thick as the cob wall at the top? Are you building gable walls with a bond beam on the gable ends too? Or a hip roof (with level walls)? Is there going to be a test to see if the on-site soil is compatable to be in contact with concrete? Are the cob and concrete going to be isolated to prevent a chemical reaction? Are cob bricks going to be tested for compresive strength? Would the engineer OK a cob dome with a circular bond beam with about a 6' or 8' diameter hole? I realize that you likely do not have the answers yet, but that is what I am curious about. Cheers, Shody ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40? Find a flick in no time with the Yahoo!
