[Cob] Large Gravel-Filled EarthBag Foundations - Off Topic and More!Monica Proulx mon.pro at gmail.comMon Feb 16 02:45:22 CST 2009
My opinion, as a cob novice who knows little but likes to read and learn, is it seems that so long as cob houses must be built on a foundation of some kind, it would seem hasty to declare gravel filled bag foundations off topic. With natural building getting so hybridized - bale cob, light clay straw infill, cob plaster over bales etc. being mixed in one building - I prefer not to see a narrow definition of what is "cob". This is just my opinion, maybe others feel differently. On the other hand, people asking to be removed from the list, folks sniping back and forth at each other (as happened not too long ago) - these things seem "off topic" to me.
