Straw Bale Information

I have compiled a sample from the many images of our straw bale house building experience. I began work on clearing the site and building a driveway in 2003 and started work on the house at the beginning of the summer in 2004. We moved in (to a rudimentary dwelling) in February of 2005. The house itself is essentially complete, but I have a long list of projects for the land before I can consider everything “done”.

Enjoy the photos. Also, if you are interested in more information about straw bale building you can check out the Ontario Straw Bale Building Coalition’s (OSBBC) website or The Last Straw.
