1993 video of Bill Blondell showing a shelter built in 3.5 hours by 12 people without prior experience, at minimal cost. He adds:
“The simplicity of strawbale building invites participation by people of all ages and skill levels…
It's s not a new tech, not limited to small, temporary structures!"

Worth clicking just for that RO chart. Plus more good info, always. Thanks, strawbale.

A serious new twist in the avian flu saga, as a large mink farm in Utah is having an H5N1 outbreak. Has been for two months. And officials are doing jack squat about it. They won’t cull the animals.

That is definitely true, insitu hempcrete is for the masonry / concrete crowd. It's so much work and time compared to 'normal' timber strawbale building.
Once it's a prefab block or panel things can change though.

My WiFi is patchy in the strawbale house given all the walls are covered in chicken wire then plaster - faraday cage.

Good on you for being curious & open. There are 2 less labor intensive ways to make hempcrete (and #strawbale construction is even easier if you have depth): 1. Spray cast drastically lowers time & is cheaper, or 2. Have precast panels in a frame made so they can cure off-site. If you can share your

His monthly costs are $50/month to lease land from the community land trust, plus a few dollars to tie into the village's micro-grid. In winter he opens thermally insulated curtains to let the sun hit his earthen floor, which acts as a heat sink and stores warmth for the evening." ino.to/01eJduI

Indirectly. The EU will offer grants for research projects which organisations across Europe can apply for. So, for example, the School of Natural building which specialises in straw bale construction, took part in a research project with other strawbale organisations across Europe.

Love this!! The mini strawbale model is adorable and awesome!

A Belgian strawbale builder trims his new floor with a lawnmower. Because why not?

Ooo good thought.
If they do it in strawbale and plaster, that Angus cash might cover it!

@holz-bau.bsky.social if I’m doing the napkin math correctly using www.researchgate.net/publication/..., the carbon sequestration difference in using wholehouse strawbale rather than PS insulation is equivalent to 735 mature cedar tree-years (for a 200m^2 SF house)

I want an educational computer game where you build houses and they're graded on real things that help you learn both the building codes for all 50 states and how to build ecologically. Ideally it would include unconventional building techniques like rammed earth, strawbale, etc.

Such as modular strawbale, the thing your point access apartment building is going to be built from in 10 years.
at some point i think the germ of the idea that Europe isn't doing anything unique or irreplaceable in the world economy took root in some quarters. it is completely and totally wrong

The sculpture exhibition on Herring Island just closed, the Festival www.herringislandfestival.org.au?m=1l moves on.... and I'm contemplating the importance of art - www.sculptorsbootlace.com.au/2026/02/love... most of the work in the exhibition is still for sale... support your local artists 🙏

An opportunity in the chaos?
We know we need more housing. I've long been an advocate of earthen building, Adobe homes, for instance, but other methods (poured earth/ cast earth is intriguing, for instance.) Some binders are carbon negative!

Oh, gosh, I am so jealous! Your house is beautiful. I have been hankering for a strawbale house for decades. My problem is finding someone to build it for me, as I don't have the ability and I don't know anyone who does! I'm in the UK. Any ideas? Thanks.

Ahead of the start of the European Straw Building Gathering in Barcelona tomorrow, I was asked a simple question: why build with straw? I think my short answer does justice to such a big idea 🌾🏡 #ES...

I'll check my Hoopla- it's our libraries digital system.
I think it's smart to build some independence from the 'grid'. We built a strawbale house 15 years ago, and have a well. Solar was just too expensive at the time. Two good generators for now.
I'm not a prepper 🤨 Just want a little insurance😜
