Hi-

A couple months back I read a Q&A in the handyman section of the paper
(Saturday SF Chronicle home section) regarding a straw-bale structure, and
the answer indicated that there's always a lot of ongoing mold resulting
from straw-bale construction.  As so meone with allergies to mold and
asthma, I would like to know if anyone knows anything further about mold,
mildew and straw-bale construction.  Sounds like this could be a downside.
