Anna,

I'm interested to hear about your project - I maybe plan to build a strawbale 
house in beautiful Scotland one day. But Scotland can be a pretty wet place. Did 
you make any special design considerations because of this? How are you 
keeping the straw dry before plastering? What is the long term prospect of a 
straw house lasting in such a damp environment?
