[Cob] floors before walls

[Tys Sniffen]

I've been thinking about my building plans, and now that the foundation and
stem wall are done, I'm working on the timber frame system to hold up the
roof.  Next summer, I hope, we'll be working on the cob walls.  Right now my
floors are the drain rock/gravel. and since the sun is hot, making cob
inside, under the roof, seems like the way it will go.  

I started thinking though, that 'dancing' on a tarp laid down on gravel
isn't all that much fun.  I know that making floors last is the general
practice, so you're not beating them up during construction. but since I'm
probably going to be doing 3 or 4 layers (including the radiant heat tubes)
why not put down one layer before starting the cob walls, to give myself a
nice work surface? 

Any thoughts?
