Excellent overview of straw bale building. Looking forward to seeing more!

FYI comments below - the straw bale house, once plastered with lime/cement concrete becomes 4 times more fire retardant than a regular stick frame house. That is per CMHC (Canadian Mortgage & Housing Corporation) testing studies.

Check out my house at Eco Straw House . com
