Woohoo! Strawbale construction has finally come to Boise! How exciting is this?
On a small lot tucked between conventional homes on Boise Avenue, Mark Lung is hard at work stacking bales of straw and mixing mud. He is building a new home using local, recycled agricultural waste to form and insulate exterior walls. Plaster made from clay, sand, lime, straw and water will be used on both the interior and exterior instead of drywall, siding and paint. Similar in appearance to Southwestern adobes, straw bale structures are earth-friendly and energy-efficient, Lung said. [From A house made of straw and mud in Boise | Eyepiece | Idaho Statesman]
