Building a Straw House 5

By Michael Como | May 24, 2011 |

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 can rent the full 2-hour and 42-minute video on Vimeo on Demand: vimeo.com/ondemand/buildingwithawareness. [images via google]

    Informative article, exactly what I wanted to find.



  2. Ginger on October 19, 2021 at 5:04 am

    Please let me know if you’re looking for a writer for your
    site. You have some really good articles and I believe I would be a
    good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off,
    I’d absolutely love to write some articles for your blog in exchange for
    a link back to mine. Please blast me an e-mail if interested.

    Thanks!

    Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it
    from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really
    make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your theme.

    Cheers

    regularly!

  8. Augustina on October 19, 2021 at 7:17 am

    Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just
    your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all.
    But think about if you added some great photos or video clips to
    give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images
    and video clips, this blog could certainly be one of the most
    beneficial in its niche. Wonderful blog!



  9. Wilmer on October 19, 2021 at 7:23 am
