[Cob] cob building design acceptance]

[Janet Standeford]

I hope you can see it soon, I'm scouting enough straw for a good start 
and hope to have it here on pallets and under tarp before the snows hit. 
Then, as long as I get the bags for the earth bag wall centers, chicken 
wire and barbed wire, we can make a good dent in the project by the end 
of next year.
I just have to finish the alternative materials packet before about mid 
Dec. You may have seen my msg to the list about the books I'll submit in 
the packet. Hopefully the Director of Building will be impressed enough 
to pass it. If he does then the only thing I will need is for Shane, my 
Civil Engineer, to add the bedroom to the plans so I can have wood heat. 
I just hope he has time for that by Dec.
