[GSBN] Looking for images of sb with moisture/fire/cracks

[kim thompson]

Hi Maren,

Am sending separately a report that I did for Canada Mortgage and  
Housing Corp. a few years ago.
The research looks at what has worked/not worked and best practices  
for SB construction in Atlantic Canada.
It is a large doc (15.2 mb). If it doesn't make it through let me  
know how best to email  large docs. to you.
(will put a hard copy in the mail this week).

If you contact CMHC they can send a copy of the full report with  
videos and a data base.
This is a free resource for all Canadians. Be sure to request the  
full report (67 pages) not just the highlights.
CMHC TEL 1 (800) 668-2642
Straw Bale Construction in Atlantic Canada
HIghlights and Full Report   #65828
Order desk: https://www03.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/b2c/b2c/init.do?language=en

All the best,

kim

"Tradition and modernity are merely two sides of the same coin - and  
must be dealt with simultaneously. Building cannot be a rigid dogma,  
but a living, organic, ecological project. It is about continuity,  
based on memory, common sense and experience and is the foundation of  
invention."   Hasan Uddin Khan
