We are selling our straw bale home in Southern Oregon so there are lots of pictures and ideas on our web site, including a 182 photos of the construction of our adobe studio and the straw bale home. Have fun browsing!

wondering if anyone out there has information on appraising straw bale homes in the northeastern alberta market – resale value information, appraisal methods. I am having trouble with an appraiser whose approach is to heavily discount the value because it is a non-typical construction method and shape. Would appreciate any advice or references.
Thanks

You could try kijiji.ca or maybe post an ad in your local classifieds.

I was wondering where I can get the straw bails to start a construction project?

I thought the same thing, George. But apparently the plaster covering the balls is an inch or better thick, so the mice can’t get into the straw.

My only concern would be mice. Growing up on a cattle farm come sring we would find all these mouse trails under the bail piles.How would we keep them out?
