Building a Straw House 5
Sustainable Construction
Friends, in 2009 my chosen blog designer provided a game plan and a decent upfront fee. After expending AUD$, years go by so quickly, and a new blog designer disagrees thus I spent more AUD $ upfront in 2017.
Time rolls on and the blogs are judged wrong by the powerhouse. So be it, the story of my life! Simon says you must not piggyback an internet video.
As a result, today 23 October 2022 I declare the video is deleted or perhaps the video was deleted previously from this blog post. The information, however, is current and there are so many comments so I will not delete the post.
Regardless of the subject of the blog is liked. Type ‘ Straw Bale Home Construction Instructional Video ‘ or a relevant Boolean term into ‘YouTube’ or your selected search engine to find the relevant information. Blog on and stay safe.
Strawbale house construction is shown in this movie trailer for the “Building With Awareness” DVD video. Currently, a strawbale home uses tightly compressed straw bales [stacking technique] covered in a 35-50mm lime-based render. This method of building results in a carbon-positive wall system that is super-insulated (approx. R-8), fire-resistant and beautiful. Straw bales are used for infill only and not structural. One downside is they can be susceptible to structural movement, leading to cracks in the plaster and even the collapse of a load-bearing wall, so the initial building technique must be perfect. However, apparently, it is still not mainstream in Australia.
Strawbale walls, thermal mass walls, earth plaster techniques, and passive solar design are all explained in this how-to DVD on building with natural materials. Thermal mass walls consist of 100 mm of concrete facing the interior, 50 mm of concrete on the exterior and 50 mm of Styrofoam extruded polystyrene board insulation sandwiched in between. Earthen plaster (adobe plaster, or dagga) is a blend of clay, fine aggregate, and fibre. Other common additives include pigments, lime, casein, prickly pear cactus juice (Opuntia), manure, and linseed oil.

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
topic to be really something which I think I would never
understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.

the hang of it!
