Simon Brooke#roundhouse and we have walls! The gaps above the big windows need filling, the straw needs to be tidied up in places, but substantially the bale wall is complete – two days ahead of schedule.
@simon_brooke The strawbale home is looking hobbit-like. Good luck with the lime batches experiments. #StrawBaleHouse,
@simon_brooke. The straw bale construction isn’t windy weatherproof. However as you share, the bales are ready to reuse. #StrawBaleHouse, #rewilding, #naturalconstruction.
So, thinking about it, that's part of what I'm doing building homes for folk who need them. I'm not building homes for all the people who need them; I can't do that. I'm not allocating my effort according to some bureaucratic assessment of needs. I can't do that, either. But I am responding to the needs that I can see around me, to the best of my ability.
If we all did that, we would all – every single one of us – be in a better place.
@simon_brooke. The roundhouse wall construction went well. The space is cozy right away. The extra bales will be many good things too. #roundhouse, #strawbalebuild, #StrawBaleHouse
#roundhouse big window in the bale wall. This feels like a really big step forward!

sunflowerinrain@BigJackBrass Joking aside, the answer should be yes. I've lived in houses of several periods, many built in the second half of the twentieth century, and I can attest that wattle-and-daub is superior to 1970s brick. Straw-bale would be even better. Ask Kevin McCloud. Better, ask the #CentreForAlternativeTechnology and book on their #StrawBaleHouse construction course.
