If you've ever wanted to know more about building with straw bales, this is
the book to get you started. Chris & Peter share their hands-on building
experience in a thoughtful, user-friendly way. Elizabeth Ohi's illustrations
are detailed and extremely clear.
Straw bale building is not a new construction method. It has been used effectively for more than 100 years. Straw is an inexpensive by-product of
the grain growing industry and, if not used for this type of building, would
go to waste.
In "Straw Bale Building", you will discover not only the basics of building
with straw but also how to comply with building codes and the best methods of bale stacking. Chris & Peter
leave no stone unturned, outlining each and every step of the process.
