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?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
