Greetings Baleheads,
I have just returned from the north of England
where last week I joined about 15 volunteers on what is almost
certainly the largest strawbale build in U.K.
The build is being led by Barbara Jones and
Bee Rowan of Amazon Nails.
It is the first stage of a complex of buildings
which will eventually be a Childrens Farm and education centre for
sustainability, the building work will be ongoing for two or possibly
more years so if any one is interested in strawbale in U.K. and would like
to help on this very worthwhile project then contact either Barbara barbara@strawbalefutures...org.uk
or myself chug@strawbale-building....uk for
further information.
P.S. we used untreated sheep fleeces for
insulation in the floor beneath the bales--so time will tell if this is a
competent insulation when untreated.
I will have pictures on the websites www.strawbale-building.co.uk and
www.strawbalebuildingassociation.org.uk
as soon as possible.
Regards Chug.
Keep spreading the
word! |
