I am looking for advices

I am planning to built an insulated cob house

-5inch cob- 7inch insulation (cellulose)- 5inch cob

           with sticks olding the 2 cob walls together.

-drier cob poured in forms ± 10inch high at a time

-post & beam structure to hold the roof

    My mix is made out of mason sand-clay-staw

    it takes too long to dry, I'd add lime so it hardens

    faster.

 

Are my walls tick enough?

opinions, info about lime? 

Is the wall breathing with lime, or portland?
