Hi Ruth
El lupo the huff n puff staw wolf has answered some of your questions
already but here goes,
1. same as wolfie and I have seen plywood sheets on stud work then
tiled
over as well.
2. You have what are termed 'permitted development rights', roughly it
means
if you are not living in it and it is more than 5m
from any existing dwelling and is no more than 4m to highest point of
the
roof IIRC, it doesn't need Planning permission full
details http://www.odpm.gov.uk/index.asp?id=1144640#P101_18228
3. I have built a 3.5m internal size (4.5m external) for an infant
school
playground in solihull.

4. Again I agree with El lupo's comment that you do need so much glass
when
you have good insulation like straw bale walls.
bale on

other
questions
Hello strawbalers,
I'm new to this list, having been recommended it by Chug on his course
at LILI in September. Thanks Chug...
I have lots of questions:
1) Does anybody know anything about waterproofing bathrooms that have
strawbale walls? I was looking at the moroccan technique of Tadelakt a
kind of waterproof plaster finish using lime, egg yolks and soft soap.
Has anyone tried this?
2) We are planning on building a 12 x 5m garden workshop at my place of
work. Does anyone have any idea if this would be considered an
outbuilding? I've tried to go to the planning departments website but
its not that helpful. Are there any basic guidelines. Has anyone had
experience about building at a workplace? We're in Oxfordshire if that
helps.
3)What is the minimum circle diameter anyone has used succesfully with
strawbales?
4) How feasible is it to have a loadbearing strawbale building with one
wall of mainly glass or at least windows. Or would it be better to have
some sort of timber frame... what is a good ratio of glass to bale?
Thanks in advance,
Ruth
