Round Pole Post & Beam Structure
In preparing for our upcoming straw bale workshop, we are building a post and beam house with round pole framing. Here are a few pictures of how it’s coming along. We are going to put earthbag around the outside of the concrete footers and stack the straw bales on top of that. We may need to call in reinforcements to get it ready in time for the workshop.
And here it is a few days later with the rafters and bender-board decking going up…
Filling the earthbag with limestone gravel to raise the building’s straw bale walls above the floor.
