No more then in regular houses
Have you seen the movie "A Star Is Born" with Barbara Streistand (sp?)? I have not seen it but once and I think I was 13 or 14 years old. But I seem to remember something about a house she was building in that movie, perhaps similar to one of these.
No I haven't...but cob is wonderful
Cob is great. You can actually paint it with that lime type stuff so it doesn't look so much like dirt.
And what is cob, may i ask?
you can see the entire process in a cute little cartoon here.
But the shorthand answer is a mixture of clay, sand, and straw that can (and has) been used to create houses like the ones pictured in this post.
