Straw bale-the cozy, sculpted home that feels like an embrace.
Nice picture book, not a build it manual For your money you'll be getting what amounts to a picture book with several different types of strawbale homes across the US and Canada. There is a small starter section, with pictures, on general construction details.For each house there will be at least two, sometimes four or five, pages of text and pictures about the owners homes and how they were built. Don't buy this book thinking it's a build it manual, that isn't the case as the information is mor. Beautiful photographs and the down and dirty details C. Nellemann This is the first "coffee table" book that shows how exquisitely beautiful straw bale homes can be. It also gives good information on how much they cost, various energy savings you can recieve from a straw bale home and other information on how the various owners and builders built and paid for their homes.Most of the homes are in the higher-end spectrum and I was disappointed that I didn't see less expensive (but maybe not as fancy) homes included. Howev. "price per square foot included in this book" according to A Customer. Beautiful book with much needed infoa real treat for the eyesthe best is it gives the cost of contruction for almost all the houses shownif you want to build a strawbale than this book is one you will want to include in your librarydoes not give alot of hands on constrution but it does gives you visual ideas of what others have done with their houses
