Bales... bales.. and more bales...

so, the weekend before London and Madrid... was at the Everdale Center for a workshop on Straw Bale House building held by Ben Polley of Harvest Homes. An awesome experience... and a highly recommended way to build a house! And no... you can't huff and puff and blow it down (considering it is significantly stronger, more fire-resistant and has a higher insulation value i.e. lower heating and cooling costs).
Ok... enough of horn-tooting... its picture-time! :)


this is the house we built in that weekend... NOT!!! This is HOME ALIVE.. check it out!!! GO VISIT!!! :)


This is the inside of the walls of HOME ALIVE! :)


NOW... THIS is the the crew and the house we were learning to build! :)

  1. Hi Jup!
    I have to say that I´m a bit disappointed, since I expected to find at least a few lines about Madrid. Anyway, it was a pleasure meeting you, though it seems you don´t remember us! :-(
    I´d love to see the pictures! that "chocolate con churros" was cool, wasn´t it?
    Thanks for your late night free english classes (best i´ve ever had, to be honest).
    Sorry about my english, I now it´s not all it could be.

    Muchos besos,
    Susana (guess wich one!)
