The ancient method of cob building uses a simple mixture of clay
sub-soil, aggregate, straw and water to create solid structural
walls built without shuttering or forms, onto a stone plinth. It is
now undergoing a renaissance as an 'eco-friendly' building material
because of its amazing 'green' credentials. 'Building with Cob'
shows how to apply this ancient technique in a wide variety of
contemporary situations, covering everything from design and
siting, mixing, building walls, fireplaces, ovens and floors, lime
and other natural finishes, and gaining planning permission and
building regulation approval. It also explains in detail how to
sensitively restore an old cob structure. This book is a
step-by-step guide, lavishly illustrated with over 300 colour
photos and 85 diagrams.
