I would suspect it would also reduce the amount of settling as well. Thus I would put the wallboard up on the one side of the wall and partway up the other side so I could stuff the claystraw into the wall. I would probably turn off any electrical that may be present in those walls till the water evaporates. This would probably require a bit more taping & drywall mud. >> ok, but eleiminate the wall board -use a slip form on your framing & leave the rammed straw/slip exposed or finish with a lime sond or mud plaster otherfish
