[Strawbale] strawbale houses in "heavy rain" areas

["Ian Pellow" <bassman41m@hotmail...>]

Hi Everyone,

Is there anyone on this list who is living in a strawbale house in an area 
with heavy rains, horizontal rains, humid and cold climat.  We know some of 
you out there are in Belgium (which I know is not exactly the driest place 
on earth - same for the Netherlands).

Would you please get in touch with us.  We need to prove some "official 
people" that our plan to build strawbale houses in the highlands of Scotland 
is a good idea !  We do have some books and tests to document that with the 
correct design there should be no problems but this seems not to be 
sufficient to win the "officials" sympathy.

Any help is very welcome in our quest !

Thank you !!
Chris Pellow
