One of the things about it is that when finished (plastered on both sides) it is actually more fire resistant than a regular framed house. Although straw is combustible and will burn readily, when compressed into bales and sealed in with plaster it does not ignite or burn easily. It's kind of like trying to burn a phone book encased in plaster -- not easy to do.dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16205051256917210078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529045882145916711.post-62514933837411782252011-03-30T06:10:48.340-06:002011-03-30T06:10:48.340-06:00I'm a firefighter so that scares me a bit.

The bale walls are plastered on both sides (inside to be done this summer), and we also put siding on the outside.dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16205051256917210078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529045882145916711.post-1138214360792436262011-03-29T19:57:37.840-06:002011-03-29T19:57:37.840-06:00Love the timber framing, I have to ask about the h...Love the timber framing, I have to ask about the hay or straw, insulation??
