| Hi. As someone who has no actual experience of Strawbale building, simply a great interest, I purchased building with awareness earlier this year. After having to pay extra duty etc to get it into the UK, it became a rather expensive purchase! The book and the DVD are very well produced and kept me engrossed for many hours - I also think that the end product is a beautiful if rather small building. However, as I watched the DVD I did get quite disheartened at the apparent complexities that were in the building process. The more I watched, the more it seemed to alienate me, the uninitiated builder and I ended up thinking that building with strawbale was going to be far too complex for the average guy - all the other books and their authors I've read have gone to great lengths to assure the 'new' builder that strawbale is accessible to everyone. I was also disappointed at the amount of concrete used in the build - I accept that this may be due to code / building regulations compliance, but nevertheless, part of my reason for liking strawbale and other 'alternative' building methods is the fact that you use more ecological building materials. Are there any other strawbale DVD's available in the UK, and if so, how can I get them? Thanks, Martin On 2 Jun 2007, at 11:00, strawbale-request@amper.ped.muni.cz wrote:
