RE: cob houses !!!
Never lived in a cob house (would love to but not many where I live) but there are a lot of Cob houses in Cornwall, Devon and other parts of the UK. I have heard they are warm in the winter and cool in the summer due to the thick walls. They need a good foundation and a good roof; otherwise water can penetrate into the walls.
Here are two web sites that may help
