Work on the house has been steady with plumbing and electrical work continuing as the temps finally begin to drop. On LinkedIn, I came across this article from Green Maine Homes about a new company specializing in compressed straw panels. Seems interesting (and a lot less labor intensive!). I am struggling to understand how they're fireproofing the walls. Our straw bale wall assembly necessitates plaster on either side for fire protection and water mitigation. It's unclear on their website how they achieve that. In any case, it's great to see companies focusing on natural material walls!
