Helped a friend build a straw bale house down in the Texas hill country W of San Antonio. He framed it w/ recycled steel 'sticks' w/ bull panels attached to exterior for uniform rigid structure to stack bales against then sealed it all inside and out w/ sprayed on high pressure light weight concrete. Was amazingly energy efficient to heat and cool.

Sounds amazing!!! I would love to see pics sometime!!!💛

I wish I'd taken some myself. I was gone before finish anyway but he did send me some that I've long lost track of. This was 20+ yrs ago? My friend was truly a master carpenter and he finished out the project very nice. Lost track of him as well in all my shuffling about in those years. Might take another stab at running him down. Just now looking at a map I remembered this was outside Bandera .. which I couldn't recall before when I was trying to find him.

The search engines have shifted again, what was once in the past 5 years or so, able for one to look up past friends, it has become harder to find them, especially if they have moved or changed their name by marriage or so! My searches have become a lot less productive these days, perhaps it is on purpose?
