[strawbale] talking about foundation and construction

[Herbert Gruber <d.sign@aon...>]

Question: How to get real practicable information about
strawbale-building-details like foundation-possibilities and construction
details for self-builders?

There is one (new?) booklet on Barbara Jones´site, that is real great
(congratulations to you, Barbara - and Bee?), and a real recommendation!

You can download it from Amazon Nails free (strawbaleguide.pdf):
http://www.strawbalefutures.org.uk
So, get it, if you don´t have it, it´s a wonderful description of
strawbale-construction-matters.

The second book is - again - Serious Strawbale - A Home Construction Guide
for All Climates (Real Goods Solar Living Book)
by Paul Lacinski, Michel Bergeron (Paperback - Dezember 2000)
price: US$ 24.00 (amazon)

and the third one is: build it with bales
a step by step guide to straw bale construction
by Matts Myhrman & S.O. MacDonald
published by Out on Bale, 1998
price: US$ 30.00 (amazon)

There is a lot of literature about strawbale-building, but I think, this
three books are the best choice for self-builders, who have specific
questions about alternative - green - strawbale construction.

Best wishes,
Herbert
