My husband and I built a strawbale home eight years ago and absolutely love it. We are finishing up a strawbale, solar & wind powered B&B/Cafe/Store. Links to photos and more info on our website. We'd love to have you come visit! I'm also happy to answer any questions! FrugalBabe and friends! My husband and I built a strawbale home eight years ago and absolutely love it.

Us, too! Even the strawbale house. Periodically we drive around the nearby country looking for likely spots of land. But then right now, we're a block-and-a-half from the elementary school my son will attend when he's older. Also, it's been more of a priority for us to save for retirement and college. Us, too!

We've bought four acres of land, but we want to save 20 percent down first, so it'll still be a year and a half or so before actual construction begins. People look at us like we're nuts, asking about fire hazards (they perform better, actually, than standard houses built today) and such things. My dad first proposed the idea, and after a great deal of research, my husband and I decided it's the way we're going to go. We’re building a straw bale house!

How cool are they? You seem to be really good at persevering so I'm sure you'll make this dream come true one day. I’ve always loved the idea of straw bale houses. How cool are they?
