[GSBN] Wall Detail

[Dodson Harper]

Hey Doug

I have a couple of buildings we have done in the past couple of years. Both are multi-story and designed for pretty heavy snow loads (100psf), but I could share the structural plans with you and your engineer if you think it would help. Just get in touch with me directly.

Thanks,
Dodson

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?
