We would LOVE to do this, and were planning to before we moved north. However, Scottish architects strongly advise against cob construction up here. Apparently the special wind/rain combo 'enjoyed' in Scotland makes cob impractical unless you want to be redoing your walls once a year. Humph.

It looks like a wonderful book, but it might be cruelty to husbands to buy it when we can't build that way.

Zillah
