Oliver,<br><br>I built two strawbale structures near Waxahachie, Texas.<br>One was a house of 2,200 ft2 (House) and the other was an office building (026.017) of 10,000 ft2.<br>They were located about five miles west of the Waxahachie at 207 Crownover Road, Waxahachie, Texas.<br>
<br>I then built a Rice Hull House (DSC00416) located at 519 West Dejean Street, Washington, Louisiana 70589.<br>Can you add these houses to your map?<br><br>Paul<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/6 Oliver <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:house@naturalhomes.org">house@naturalhomes.org</a>></span><br>
