Neat construction...When we had the ranch, we built a cabin of Straw bales, sprayed with stucco, wood stove , pallet floor...Cheap and very
effective...Lots of BETTER ways to create housing....Thanks JanJohn Harper - 3-14-2018 at 09:12 AM

My friend built an entire barn out of hay bales. Great insulation.
We used Wheat straw, not hay. Essentially free, and baled them ourselves into extra tight bales. Bound the walls together simply by driving rebar pins
top to ground.....Used scrap windows from a tear down house.....Paco Facullo - 3-14-2018 at 09:39 AM

Now that's ingenuity !
Just don't pee off the wolf, or else he might burn your house down ???? yumawill - 3-15-2018 at 09:41 AM
wow!!! I'm impressed.Good On you Mexico. Straw bales won't burn. Go and try it. I tried to build with straw bale here in Yuma. Ha. Absolutely not
done. No ASTM stamp on bales. County planners don't understand it. So sad that breaucrats control that which they don't understand. Looks like I'm
moving to Mexico. I know, I'll become a "paracadista". Eleven million Mexicans can't be wrong. Right?chuckie - 3-15-2018 at 02:55 PM
Straw WILL burn and often combusts itself if baled damp and stacked deep. IT IS very hard to ignite in bale form by itself. Range fires in wheat
stubble are pretty scary. I never found time to go ask permission to do something on my own ground, so we tried a lot of stuff. Paco Facullo - 3-15-2018 at 03:06 PM
