Straw bale requires timber frame - does it not? Can you use cob columns and put cob on the inside and outside of the house? At least on the north side of the house? Do you just tear up the straw bales and put in a layer? Or do you need to keep them in the bale form for some reason? I want to avoid timber framing, as my KY land isn't a heavily timbered site, and it would seem it takes away from the hand sculpting. Plus it would increase the cost. -jill -------------- next part -------------- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4134.100" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Straw bale requires timber frame - does it not?
