Re: [Strawbale] updates from all you hardworking strawbale

Simon,
I have been busy building since the beginning of June this year. I am happy to announce that I have taken the step to become a fulltime builder, mainly SB. The SB project I started with is in IJburg which is a new extension in Amsterdam. To see more on the project go to http://home.hetnet.nl/~rene.dalmeijer and follow links English> SB houses and via the left menu navigate to IJburg. I am quite happy with the building method and design for this house so much so that if I build for myself it will closely follow this system. This house has generated quite a bit of interest including 2 TV programs
I hope to start before the end of the year on another 2 houses in IJburg both with 4 stories using pre-fab wood frame elements. One of the houses will have SB infill the other wool or flax.
The Dutch SB association has just elected a new commitee. I am now chairman, Michel Post is secretary and Pieter Bas van Luipen treasurer. We just had an interior clay plaster workshop on 29 October and will have a SB house tour on 12-13 November Again check my web-site http://home.hetnet.nl/~rene.dalmeijer and the link to Agenda for further details.

Hello everybody

Following on from the recent comment from a new member on how quiet the
SB-list has been recently, I thought it would be really interesting if
everyone who has been working on a project this year could send a short
update to the list?
It would be great to find out what's been going on, hear about exciting new 
ideas and buildings, any problems encountered (and overcome!), links to
photos, etc.

I'm sure there is loads happening and as there are lots of new people
constantly joining the list (we're now up to 305 members) it would be great 
for them to find out about it and I'm sure it will stimulate some new
discussions.
And of course now winter's coming along we all need a bit of motivation and 
inspiration to see us through to spring!

Cheers
Simon
