straw bale house

At this point we are deciding to tidy up and call the weekend, the weekend; i.e. we are going to pack up after a tiring but fantastically worthwhile two days.



Hugh is planning the next stage!

Thoughtful!





A late pudding!

An attempt by me to secure a cross-beam; one of the nails went in at an angle.


Pudding time!


Pudding!!

A view of the side which will have a door and possibly a small window.
This also shows the lime-mortaring at various stages of application.


Choosing tools.






Straw, glorious straw!!




The base of the house consists of tyres filled with stones.





















Where is everyone?


A very imposing doorway!




King of the castle!



Hugh's model for the house.
