Hmmm.  I'd never heard of that before.  

Mildly suprising, since "cob bathtubs" have been a goal for a lot of the cob people.

Doesn't look like he sells the materials, with or without training.  There is training for people wanting to use the AAC--lightweight concrete.

I'd like to study it more, but I think I'll have enough going with building the cottage first.  [smiley=smiley.gif]

Check out  the rammed earth on Billy Bob's link also- not a lot of info but some good pictures of how it is done by them.
