I am interested in this too, as I'd like to make some chicken coops and outbuilding from this. Here's a site I found with an inexpensive book on the subject. Hope it helps.

Here is a link for some info. Also do a search on eBay for Straw House and I found a guy that I think has excellent info for sale. I have not got it yet, but will before I build. I have a book already on "Straw Bale Building", but I want to accumulate more detailed info. I'm currently in the process of becoming a building inspector in my state, and will soon know what my challenges will be for getting plans approved.

Just got my Mother Earth News yesterday and there is a whole section on building a straw house...Joan

We have neighbors who built a straw bale house several years ago with the help of some friends. It is a two story structure with a basement, stucco outside and in. They love it very much. They put a red metal roof on it...it looks very quaint and fits in nicely in the surrounding rural area we live in. The frame is I believe post and beam. It's cool in summer and warm in winter. Good Luck with your project!

Here is a super link with links to a host of Straw Bale Sites.

I am also looking into this. I am going to first build a wall or fence of it around my goldfish pond to see if it is something that I would be able to do. If I like it then the sky is the limit at $2.50 a bale!!
