I, too, would be interested in seeing this information, since our
community is considering production houses built with straw bales.

Among the questions we would ask:

What kind of design did you use?
Did you use a contractor/builder or did you do it yourself?  If the
latter, how did you learn the building technique?
Are there any builder/constractors who specialize in straw bale?  How
about architects?

Any information at all will be most welcome!!
