I was recently invited to be a guest on the Jefferson Exchange, a popular morning talk show here in Oregon and California to discuss straw bale construction. The program is an hour long and covers many aspects of building with bales.


The first fifteen minutes or so is primarily a conversation between me and the host. The remainder of the show is in a question and answer format whereby I answer caller’s questions. I hope you enjoy the audio podcast. I had fun making it.

Welcome to the “Building Green” podcast. This is my monthly Q&A session where I answer your green building and straw bale construction questions.
This month I answer the following questions:


1. Any thoughts on how to go about looking for land that is suitable for straw bale building?
2. Metal roof or composition? Or other? Which is the best environmentally speaking?
3. Must you have an architect/engineer that is experienced with bale construction approve your plans to ensure that the building codes are fulfilled?
4. How do you go about finding a structural engineer who is versed in straw bale?
5. Our interior plaster walls are very rough and sandy. Is it possible to paint the interior walls? If so what would you recommend?

Dicken Weatherby, the web guy for StrawBale.com, and I had a chance to chat about the advantages of Load Bearing Straw Bale Construction.

Welcome to the March 2007 “Building Green” podcast. This is my monthly Q&A session where I answer your green building and straw bale construction questions. Sorry it has been so long since I uploaded a Q & A podcast. I have been super busy putting together a brand new Load Bearing production and writing a straw bale construction field manual. This month I answer the following questions:


1. Are you limited to just stucco on the outside and plaster on the inside for a straw bale house, or can you use wood siding or brick on the outside and inside? Is there a system to attach wood siding to the bales rather than plaster?
2. Can you use shotcrete or stucco blowers on the walls instead of hand trowelled plaster?
3. What’s your advice on finding local lenders who can help with straw bale?
4. Do straw bale houses have to be rectangular? How about an octagon?
