[Strawbale] greek SB building

[rikki nitzkin]

Try getting in touch with the California Strawbale Building Association.  In 
CA all SB buildings are built with "Earthquake" considerations.  I don´t 
have the exact link to them, but I was talking to arquitect Martin Hammer 
there last week and he could probably orient you.
