Hi everyone,
We are building a timber framed straw bale wall which rests on a concrete grade beam (earthern/limecrete floor within) and a 12" faswall stem wall foundation.
The total wall thickness is 2' (6x8 timber post +18.5" strawbale wall),
I've currently placed the stem wall flush with the inside edge of the timber post, seeing that its the timber frame structure that is load bearing, and the bale wall is not. however i am concerned that the "cantilever" of part of the bale wall might seem "unsupported" especially in the eyes of building permit.
Do you see any issue with this, or a better way it can be done?
(Fyi, details of rebar and post to concrete connection not yet drawn)
