[Strawbale] Re: Strawbale Digest, Vol 25, Issue 1

[Max Vittrup Jensen]

Hiya...

Just to say that it's my unscientific estimate that in Denmark alone there's
between 300 to 500  SB buildings. It's become just another way of
constructing and several homeowners do not go public about the option, hence
it's virtually impossible to ask them to register.

In other words: Nice with the register, however don't take it as an clear
indicator of the real amount of SB in the country. (There's only 2 listed!)

Cheers,
Max
