I want to show a lot of pictures to help people imagine what the possibilities are. I would appreciate pictures of the cob house you are referring to in your blog. Please include any relevant information you'd like to see and also what you'd like shown in the credits section. The blog is at www.risingseas.blogspot.com. And please don't hesitate to take the survey! Thanks a million! Sali Hi,
