Follow along and see how its really done, there are some dubious people on youtube that post false strawbale building principles just to dupe people in to buying their plans, mine are free! just message me here and I will send them to you!

P.s. It honestly makes no sense to wrap a container with strawbales to be honest you might as well do a full strawbale house and not be "contained" HAHA get it?

  • Cool video:)!

    Do you know if one can use roof tiles to capure rainwater for drinking?

  • @bmxion ceramic tiles yes, slate tiles yes, metal tiles yes, asphalt composite shingles FUCK NO!!!!!

  • couldn't you do like you said and avoid the extra cost of the two shipping containers and save yourself and extra 4 grand... yes structure wise it would be sound,but it has all ready be proven that a stray house can take a earthquake.

  • @dawgofwar71 exactly!!

  • this is agreat idea, but what about for cold climates? insulating the floor and roof and more windows. i`ve been told that u can`t just use any type of straw as well, do u know anything of this?

  • @dexterquincy1 wheat straw, rice straw is fine for building purposes, yes you could do the floor and attic with it as well

  • So unless you are building a bunker this is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. In fact even if you are, this would suck as a bunker.

  • Hi. I'm Albert, and I'm interested in knowing more about this. :) I have a school competition and I think there might be something in this to a sustainable solution to housing? Thanks!

  • Windows, plumbing, electric, floor insulation etc etc...

  • I would have thought that you'd plaster the straw bales right after they're up. A little roof overhang isn't going to keep them dry if the wind comes from that side...and wet straw is game over for the house...

  • Good music good vid good design, but what about windows?

  • where are the windows?It's a furnace? :D
