| My wife, Naomi, and our four children and I live just outside of La Broquerie, Manitoba, Canada, 4 miles east of Steinbach. We began our project during the summer of 1998, after comparing building costs, advantages of building with strawbale, and after buying a gorgeous few acres of oak forest. We likely didn't fully appreciate the immensity of the project we were jumping into. However, here we are, three years later, and I have to say, "I'd do it again in a flash!" You'll see why when you read on and have a look at some of the pictures of our strawbale house and a few others I've visited. | |

| Americans want comfortable, attractive, functional, and durable housing. Yet, many increasingly find high quality housing beyond their means. Conventional building methods rely on plentiful resources. With some of these resources dwindling, housing costs are sky rocketing. The cost of a home includes materials, construction, financing, taxes, energy consumption, and insurance. This booklet explores recent attempts to reduce those costs. Construction techniques discussed in this booklet focus on building resource-efficient and energy-conserving homes, without sacrificing affordability or quality. | |
