The Cobin "Foot"
Okay... so after watching the cobin build videos and I am wondering about the wood plank foot directly on top of gravel under the pallets... wont that get wet and rot the same as the posts being in the ground without protection from moisture?? I am in Missouri, so lots of rain and snow.
I guess my question is, do I need stones or cement block to elevate the pallets+cob so that it rain and snow don't ruin the bottom of the cobin? It doesn't seem like that is shown as necessary in the videos, except the one video with the pier blocks had cement blocks all the way around like a sort of foundation on top of the gravel, but I wonder if that is just because dependent on location?
I DO think I am going to go the pier block route, sooo wondering then if I should use stacked lime stone in-between each pier block or cement block or nothing? Also, what is best practice for cob over the pier block? Will it need mesh or can I just slap on cob directly to the concrete?
Wanting all thoughts and wisdom! Thanks <3
