Straw Bale

We love the idea of "straw bale construction" – but whether we're able to use it or not has still not been decided. In straw bale buildings, baled straw from barley, wheat, rice, flax, rye or oats is used to build the exterior walls of a house or shed. And, since Tricia's dad could actually grow the straw that we use, it's exciting to think that we could actually build the walls of the house with this renewable energy source.
