Our Own Straw Bale Home

We believe that if you are going to be convincing in anything that you do then you should be convinced yourself.  That is why we live in our own straw bale house.  It is now 15 years since we brought straw bale building to Australia and for the past 12 years we have had the amazing benefits of living in a straw bale home made up of 7 pavilions.

Our own home filmed by Better Homes and Gardens in Ganmain this is where we live and we love our straw bale home.

 

Thank you Better Homes and Gardens and especially Johanna Griggs, ENJOY!

OUR LATEST IDEA SITUPS Super Insulated Tilt-Up Panels.

WHY STRAW BALE?  ONE ANSWER: SUPER INSULATION = LOW POWER BILLS:

Surge in price of electricity:

POWER bills in Australia are surging at eight times the rate of price rises across the industrialised world.

A new electricity cost analysis by the International Energy Agency reveals that the average price rose 3.3 per cent in real terms across industrialised countries last year — 6.2 per cent for industry and 1.7 per cent for households.  See:   http://www.solarchoice.net.au

But electricity bills for Australian households rose 13.6 per cent in the same period, based on Australian Bureau of Statistics data.

Our own straw bale home in hot summers and cool winters does not have an air conditioner and only one small natural gas heater.  Let us show you how you can pay for your straw bale home over 30 years by reducing your heating and cooling bills.  Call us or email us any time:

Steiner School Last day.

We have completed our part in the Steiner School hall.  A big job well done by our team and our clients are very happy with the result that we have achieved for a straw bale building.  The colour in the lime is called Inca gold and we used a lighter strength for the internal walls.  Peter and Jason did a great job with pumping the lime render on and my elbows are totally stuffed.  Susan and Enrico did all the masking prior to rendering and they also finished the pointing and left the place extremely tidy.

Steiner School Day 4

End of Day 4 and the inside is almost finished with the final colour coat.  The oxide will fade to a lovely light shade of yellow.  Here are some photos from today:

 

Back in Gosford at the Central Coast Steiner School

We are back to apply the finish colour coat to this very large building.  We have a great team and after 3 days we are over half way into the final coat.  here are some photos of the progress to date:

Owner Builders Great Work

Congratulations to Ann-Kristin and Jan Norback for the way they have gone about their own straw bale home.  We played a small part in a custom workshop to help them get up all the straw bales.  Ann-Kristin did the rest, enjoy the following photos and YES you can do it!  CONGRATULATIONS.

SITUPS in Yass End Stage 1

Yesterday we completed the second coat of render and mesh.  We now go home!  The roofers will be there on Monday morning and we look forward to seeing the roof on.

SITUPS in Yass Day 6

Coming to the end of our part of the building Huff ‘n’ Puff Constructions are very happy with the result of this SITUP cottage.  The roofing materials have arrived and the roof frame goes on Monday.  The building inspector from Yass Shire Council was happy with the progress.

We will complete our rendering tomorrow and then head to the Yass Show the 150th Yass Show!
