prefab strawbale!

hi all. I've been off the forum for a little while. Here in ontario, we've been seeing these beauties pop up!

they are slick as heck, what do you all think of this? It is certainly a very cool change from SIPs.

Looks really nifty, we will have to look into them, thanks for sharing.

My only question is cost effectiveness compared to paying ourselves to build them.

I does look like a cool concept. Thanks for posting!
It looks like they are heavy! An 8'x8' wall weighs about 2000lbs! That is all crane work, installing those bad bears, which seems like a definite disadvantage. Interesting nonetheless.

advantage is that they go up quick. and I think require minimum rain protection. I've done a little bale work, and, well, it's alot of work. I prefer to get on with the next timber job.
