Pollinators<a href="https://mastodon.scot/@simon_brooke" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@simon_brooke</a> The strawbale home is looking hobbit-like. Good luck with the lime batches experiments. <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/StrawBaleHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StrawBaleHouse</a>,

Pollinators<a href="https://mastodon.scot/@simon_brooke" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@simon_brooke</a>. The straw bale construction isn’t windy weatherproof. However as you share, the bales are ready to reuse. <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/StrawBaleHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StrawBaleHouse</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rewilding</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/naturalconstruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturalconstruction</a>.

Simon BrookeSo, 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.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Homelessness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homelessness</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/StrawBaleHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StrawBaleHouse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BeTheFutureYouWantToSee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeTheFutureYouWantToSee</a>

The space is cozy right away. The extra bales will be many good things too. <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/strawbalebuild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strawbalebuild</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/StrawBaleHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StrawBaleHouse</a>

Simon Brooke<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a> 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.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/StrawBaleHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StrawBaleHouse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/StrawBaleBuild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StrawBaleBuild</a>

sunflowerinrain<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@BigJackBrass" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@BigJackBrass</a> 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 <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/CentreForAlternativeTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CentreForAlternativeTechnology</a> and book on their <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/StrawBaleHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StrawBaleHouse</a> construction course. <a href="https://cat.org.uk/doing-architecture-differently-2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cat.org.uk/doing-architecture-differently-2/</a>
