Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Stawbale Construction

[Glen Orcutt (gorcutt]

Thank you David Eisenberg for your commitment to people, affordable housing
and for your informative and level-headed response on Straw Bale construction.

I have researched alternative building methods for many years and I am very
excited about the possibilities of Straw Bale for people that have time &
energy to build their own home.

I wish we had been able to find an affordable and acceptable alternative to
stick frame construction.  We looked seriously at concrete tilt-up, rammed
earth, and sandwiched building panels, but ended up with stick frame for
financial reasons.
