I'm glad you asked! I was feeling really out of it, but if you don't know either, then I suddenly feel a lot smarter. (actually, less dumb)  %^}

Hello All

I'm consulting with a non-profit (http://www.yinnovations.org/) to  build an affordable straw home for a low income family.  Their current engineering was provided by someone unfamiliar with straw bale building and is coming up pretty short of being a low carbon, sustainable, or natural design.  So we are moving to a straw cell design to help ease any engineering and building official concerns about the straw bale part.  My question is-- does anyone have a good straw cell wall detail drawing they can point me to or donate to the effort?

Thanks
