A pic and video slideshow of a cob workshop I attended in June, 2008. The foundation and stone stem wall were already laid when we got there. I learned how to mix and build with cob, install window bucks, carve niches, and even tried my hand at plastering. Everyone there was really great, and by the end of the week we had cobbed all the way to the top!

It's a great skill to have - not only can you build a house with it, but it's fun! (Really labor intensive if done by hand, but fun all the same.)

I would love to learn the art of Cob house building

Thank you for your answer.
No they could not hurt the cob, just the wood supporting the roof.
I'm no expert on termites, but I have heard they have quite a 'nose' for wood.
A pest exterminator told me of seeing a wooden ball on top of a 50 foot tall steel flag pole hollowed out by them.
They had formed their little mud tunnel inside the steel pipe all the way up to the top.
I'll find an(other) experienced cobber to ask.
Thanks agaain
