Straw Bale Structure is becoming a reality!!!!!

We have the straw!!!!! It currently resides in my dads driveway, but plans are underway.

We intended to start the project a couple months back, but money got tight and it took us a couple months to get back on top of our finances.

I am happy to announce that the weekend of November 6th we are going to our property in the Tecoma Valley to work on the footings for our building.

With any luck we will be able to get the ground leveled, and footings in and cement poured that weekend. If not we better hurry up and get back out there the next two weekends because we have a firm date of November 26th that our straw will be arriving on site for stacking!

I have done all the math and we will be bringing 15 80 lb bags of concrete mix out with us on November 6th. Our structure's inside dimensions will be roughly 11.16' x 11.16'. It will be big enough for us to sleep in, cook in, and play games in should the weather be bad upon our visits to our property.
