Dear SB friends, The SB registry. You know, the world wide registry that wants to list ALL SB houses on this wonderful planet. A great help for those who struggle to get SB accepted (permits/assurance/mortgage) in their part of the world. Total number of registered strawbale structures as of 02/05/2002: 152 Click on a country name for more details. Country Number of structures Australia 9 Belgium 1 Canada 11 Chile 1 England 1 France 7 Ireland 1 New Zealand 1 United States 119 Yugoslavia 1 When we look at these numbers it is clear that most SB structures are missing. Either 'nobody' cares, 'nobody' has time or maybe we are just waiting for someone else to do it? I'm working on getting ALL the French houses listed. We have sent out a (french) list of questions to all 'French SB people' to collect the data needed. Who will coordinate the other country's? We should be able to have one coordinator per country. Huh? The registry can be updated at http://sbregistry.greenbuilder.com/register.straw Greetings, Andre La Maison en Paille Information Center on ECO-LOGIC Habitat Andre & Coralie de Bouter Le Trezidoux 16290 Champmillon Charente, France Tel.
