The bales arrived on site July 9, 2005. The bales were unloaded & stacked in under an hour. Four days later the walls were complete. The modified post & beam & half-bale module that we developed has worked out very well. The walls went up quickly, tightly & with very little waste.
Since the bales will give us the sheer resistance we need; there will be very little lumber used for the structural support. 400 bales-100 degrees Ivan, the strawman.
Tom & Pat place the first bale. Jim & Jakob Collins complete a beautiful job on our kiva fireplace. Tom finishes the post & beam portion on the west.
Master bath. We laid the electrical lines and cabinet backers as we stacked bales.

Master bedroom. One tight corner!
We get some amazing sunsets out here.
