Strawbale Sustainable Home Completed!
StrawBale House Details
Stacking bales and plastering walls puts the many hands of a volunteer crew to good use during these very popular workshops that saw people from six different countries and Antarctica come together for a common good. There were two weekend wall raisings and an intensive nine day workshop with people sharing and celebrating the build with each other.
With solar hot water heating, superior strawbale wall insulation, and lots of other sustainable buildng materials and techniques used the owner is enjoying a comfortable and easy home to live in.
