Stonehouse Straw House

The blog is about a straw bale home building experience:
"The concept of a simple phone call is lost on us during construction of our new strawbale home. Our objective is to share our experience with family and friends, hoping that our shameful neglect of them during this adventure will one day be forgiven. We welcome strawbale enthusiasts who wish to learn from our experiences." Visit
