[Strawbale] FW: European Tehnical Approval of strawbale as a construction product

[donald mchardy]

standards??
 
straw bale is *easy* to build with.  
 
why get government involved: obfuscating, complicating, increasing prices and bureaucracy? probably ensuring that all SB buildings eventually look identical and are of substandard construction.
 
Then all SB builders will require certificates to prove they can use a ladder ... etc etc
 
I hope the ETA european BS never gets its fangs into SB.
