<br>
I have been very interested in the strawbale concept of<br>
house building.<br>
Have read alot of books and have visited various web sites<br>
containing info etc.<br>
My wife and I have just sold our workers cottage here in<br>
Brisbane and are now off to southern Spain to live.<br>
Our idea over in Spain is to buy realestate (old cortajo's)<br>
and restore them to re-sell.Our experience here in<br>
Brisbane of renovating<br>
has given us alot of ideas and we feel comfortable working<br>
as a team.<br>
We also feel there could be an opening for strawbale houses<br>
given the style of climate that they live in (hot).<br>
Do you know of anyone that has built straw houses over in<br>
Spain and how do you feel we would get on with the<br>
local town hall<br>
(council) in regards to building approvals and engineering<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
My internet access here at home is only on for the next 4<br>
days and we are flying out on the 19 September so if<br>
you have any imput<br>
please feel free to give me a bell.<br>
<br>
Regards,Andrew Tyler<br>
