Back in 2000 i took a class offered by the local environmental center. We wanted to build a strawbale house and this was a hands on class. I loved the experience and we built a beautiful house near Sisters, OR. I promptly built a strawbale pump house and after 20 years it looks like I need to replace the roof but it has been a trouble free structure. We never built our strawbale house but went with a conventional stick built home after finding it difficult to arrainge financing/insurance at the time for a strawbale structure. You will be surprised how fast the structure will go up with a few more hands on partners.
Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.
