The straw bale<br>houses built by North Kesteven council fall into that category and<br>predate the Hastoe ones by some years:<br><br><a href="http://www.n-kesteven.gov.uk/nk-straw-houses/106433.article" target="_blank">http://www.n-kesteven.gov.uk/nk-straw-houses/106433.article</a><br><br>Cheers, Dave<br><br>____________________________________________________<br> European strawbale building discussion list<br><br>Send all messages to:<br><a ymailto="mailto:Strawbale@amper.ped.muni.cz" href="mailto:Strawbale@amper.ped.muni.cz">Strawbale@amper.ped.muni.cz</a><br><br>Archives, subscription options, etc:<br><a
