How to Build A Strawbale Home
We are offering a short description of how to build a strawbale home in a series of articles published on these web pages. Please note that this is only one of the many ways to build. We believe in building models that can be replicated and not re-inventing the wheel for each construction project. Therefore we suggest one building method and that is the purpose of these pages. This is not intended to be a primer on strawbale construction - it is simply a method. For an excellent book on various strawbale techniques see "The Straw Bale House" and other books on our Resources Page.
