Damon, Don't see why it wouldn't work. Just make sure to have at least one floor joist or row of solid blocking under each wattle & daub interior wall. The flooring boards atop the floor joist alone are most likely not sufficient strength to support the load of a wattle & daub wall . At a minimum, a joist or blocking directly below the wall load will be required. This is a rough estimate, figuring the actual weight of the wall & checking it against the span capacity will be the proof. If you need a more specific analysis, contact me directly. john f.
