I am tryignt o prepare for a long term goals.
My goal is to build a straw bale home in the next 2-3 years.
I have been doing research and feel I will be going with a post and beem set up.
my question is, for the finish, allot of peopel use plaster of soem sort.
I was wondering if this would work.
I would like to plaster the outside or perhaps "shotcreet" it.
so woudl that work? first question....
second questions....
for the inside, do i need to coat it with something? can i not build a 2X4 stud wall and mount drywall just in front of the straw wall?
or should i seal it with some sort of plastic or "tyvek" sheeting? and then build my wall in front?
I only plan on building the outside walls with bales. the interior walls will be regular old fashion drywall.
will be don eon a slab and I plan on building a knee wall with the foundation as to keep the bales off the ground.
This will be in a small place just outside of Fredericton, Nb,Canada, we get allot of snow.
any advice? or comments is greatly appreciated. :)
