In the past I have run across a few programs about straw bale houses. It seems aside from the aesthetics of the homes they featured, the energy savings were very dramatic. I am wondering if any of you have heard anything or have actually seen this form of construction. Any feedback and information would be greatly appreciated.

    This is fascinating! I found this link here about constructing them. Now I'm considering building one as an outbuilding. So neat!

     

    I know this is a post from January, but I'd like to second the call for information on this kind of building.
