I think Paul meant this to reach the list:

I joined this list because I am planning a combination
rootcellar/worktable/mini-shed/bench.  I envision not an enclosed building,
but one central wall tall enough to put a mini-roof over me standing at a
standup height table for gardening.  The tabletop is actually the roof of a
partially underground rootcellar.  The other side of the wall I envision a
place to park my lawn mower and bicycles, but only tall enough to put them
in, not for me to stand in.  If possible, a seating shelf or bench may fit
on that side unless I decide to make the short shed wider.

I appreciate any sharing of information with anyone who has worked with cob.
Thank you.
