<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I'm consulting with a non-profit (<a href="http://www.yinnovations.org/" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk322821" previewremoved="true">http://www.yinnovations.org/</a>) 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?</p>
