<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>Dear Jure, here is one example of what you spoked
about (post/beams/diagonal timber):</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>The builder is Janez Velkavrh, our customer near
Ljubljana. He is very pleasant, not a professional straw-bale builder, but
according to my communication with him, I got a picture of a real nice men who
could be willing to share his experience with straw-bale building with you. As
you can see on the picture, he also had a lot of diagonal timbers which are
crucial for structure stability, but had enough patience (and working hands) to
do excellent and amazing job. My opinion is that this is the best (and cheapest)
way to buld wooden structure home with walls of straw-bales. I didn't spoke with
him about floors, but I think he didn't isolate it with straw-bales. However,
according to last three drawings you posted, you will never have any problem
with the straw-bale moisture in the floor, because it is - uh - like
ventilated.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>Regarding to your budget, I think that 150.000 is
way too enough to finish structure like on the plan, just be very carefull with
picking cotractor or wooden structure subcontractor, and you will be fine. Maybe
Mr. Janez had good contractor or subcontractor, so he can refere you to
one.</FONT></DIV>
