I know how to build cob houses. It's interesting that women are so into it. Learned it from a woman. Does it have something to do with the roundness of the structures? Anyway, have fun. You'll get lots of fresh air.

I read an interesting book by an architect from Saudi Arabia on mud houses. He would form them from clay, building in counters, shelves, sinks, etc., painting them with a glaze like pottery, leaving a good chimney open and then fire them for many hours at high temperature with brush, or gas from the nearby oil wells. They would vitrify like pottery with a beautiful pottery finish. They would be transformed, much stronger and waterproof then their unfired cousins.

I found him:

Quote

Iranian born Nader Khalili, California architect/author is the world renowned Earth Architecture teacher and innovator, and author. He has been a licensed architect in the State of California since 1970, and has practiced both in the U.S. and abroad. Click here to visit Khalili's website: Cal-Earth, The California Institute for Earth Art and Architecture.

His books, Ceramic Houses and Earth Architecture: How to Build Your Own and Racing Alone document his life of searching for a method to fire mud houses and turn them to stone by firing and glazing an entire building after it is constructed from clay-earth on site.

here's the site with links to the books and lots more:
