Well… you could find some reclaimed wood. That would be cool. Or maybe… I’ll pick you up next year on the way to Sol Fest; we’ll go, learn how to throw down a faster straw bale, pick up some wandering hippies there, go back to your place, and get busy building! How’s that sound? You can bring baked goods!

I am actually interested in a barn. Period. the lean-to thing that houses my horses in inclement weather is a little too cozy for the three of them and the mares make the gelding stand just outside it.

I don’t know that would be a ton of work. A TON. Straw bale is not easy. If you can get some people who have done it to help it will go faster but I know straw bale homes that have taken over two years. There can be all sorts of issues. But it could be done. Have you seen the DVD Building With Awareness? That’s a good one if you’re interested in straw bale.

it would be cool to go…I am intensely interested in green-ness..and especially straw bale structures. I am trying to figure out if I could pull off a straw bale barn?
