Supposed to be DIRT CHEAP from what I’m reading.
You would think, but it looks absolutely amazing! I was shown a link about these a couple of years back or saw in on FR.
Supposed to be DIRT CHEAP from what I’m reading.Maybe for the bales but it would end there.
Anytime you do anything in construction that is unconventional it will cost you more if not for labor but maybe both labor and materials.
The things to consider before building a bale house are too many to mention.
How are the window and door jambs attached to the bales...you know so they don't fall out in a wind storm or a slammed door?
Are the walls (bales) connected to the foundation with mechanical fasteners?
Are the bales fire resistant?
The straw will compress and shrink over time. What will that do to the solid plastered surface?
How do you run plumbing and electrical in the wall and how do you secure elecrical panels, switch and light boxes to hay bales?...not to mention pictures amd window coverings.
and good inuslation
