    @arepasheat …
    @arepasheat Properly built these houses last longer than most frame houses. Wheat or Oat straw tightly packed into 80 to 100 pound bales have an R70 insulation value, are not prone to pests as there is no food value to the straw and will not burn. Once plastered on both sides it is virtually impossible to set them on fire. Some of the straw bale houses in Nebraska are over 100 years old and still inhabitable, others are close to that.

    I wonder if there …
    I wonder if there was ever a follow up video made of this house, once it was completed.
    According to an article in the Independent, this house was due to be demolished in 1997, because the ‘planners’ (bribe takers, in other words, who work for the building industry, while pretending to work for the council) .

    “Officials at Brecon Beacons National Park are worried that the 40ft by 20ft dwelling in the scenic South Wales countryside will open the way to more requests for building.”

    How awful…

    I wonder why we …
    I wonder why we aren’t all living in houses that cost only £10,000? Because our land was stolen from us during The Enclosures – a time when traitors among us turned against their own people, forced them off their land at the point of a sword, and then had the cheek to force us to work for THEM, just to stay alive, because we no longer had any land of our own.

    Some of the Nebraska houses are over 100 years with others close to that…with the plaster on the inside and outside these houses last.
    Thankfully here in Canada we are able to build these houses under our codes…my straw is bought and the footing goes in this month. I’m really excited to see how much this will cost me and how much I can save with radiant in floor solar heating – no more gas!!!

    Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

    Throughout this awesome pattern of things you actually receive a B+ just for effort. Where you misplaced us was first on your facts. As people say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be much more true at this point. Having said that, permit me say to you precisely what did deliver the results. The article (parts of it) is definitely pretty powerful and that is most likely why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, despite the fact that I can certainly notice a leaps in reason you come up with, I am not certain of just how you seem to connect the points which in turn help to make the actual final result. For right now I will, no doubt yield to your issue but trust in the near future you actually link your facts better.———— – Custom T shirts etc.

The article (parts of it) is definitely incredibly powerful which is possibly why I am taking an effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that.

For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your issue however hope in the foreseeable future you actually link the facts much better.
