[Strawbale] To Jana & Ivan (Straw Bale House)

[Cherie Barclay]

Hi Jana & Ivan

we are from Bendigo (south east Australia). We work with inventors and have 
a new Project for wheat straw starting here soon. This is brilliant 
recycling machinery, which will make the 'next generation' straw building 
products! Will build very affordable houses - the machines will make large 
lightweight bricks, lumber, wall sheets, tiles and even the doors!

It will be a Pilot Factory located near Bendigo - please keep in touch with 
us later, and we will be expanding to other countries soon.

Maybe you will get to see a factory and the products (will make low cost yet 
high tech houses).

A complete building system, easy to learn. And anyone (like yourselves) 
could make an excellent business out of this. Can also use RICE STRAW (straw 
in any condition, as long as its dry - does not have to be top quality 
straw!)


Please email and keep in touch.

Where exactly is the straw bale house you are building?

Regards,

Cherrie Barclay and Neil Harrington

>basic, it will not be a "box-shape" house. So if anyone has any ideas they

>first we want to concentrate on finalising the house design, so we can get 
>the ball rolling with the planning permission authorities....
