More Straw Bale Building:
How to plan, design & build with straw

by Chris Magwood;  Peter Mack;  Tina Therrien

www.newsociety.com/bookid/3865

Written primarily for owner-builders, this book has an emphasis on affordability and building in cold climates. It leads the potential builder through the entire process of building a bale structure, tackling all the practical issues: budgeting; finding and choosing bales; developing sound building plans; roofing; electrical, plumbing, and heating systems; bale finishes and finishing; and building code compliance. New material includes a section on prefabricated straw bale walls, a wider selection of case studies, photographs and illustrations, a section on common mistakes, and new testing data.
