I signed on to this looking for common sense
info re. homebuilding, heating/cooling/hot water, etc. for a northern plains
working cattle ranch . We (age 60's parents, two sons and their families) own
and are the labor force providing a valuable, necessary food for the world using
a naturally renewable energy source. We need housing for one son and better,
more cost effective energy sources for our homes and ranch and personal use
vehicles. We are seven to one hundred ten miles from small town and the city
where we must go for medical services and ranch supplies and repairs. I did not
sign on to read ridiculous political statements re. Catholics, Protestants,
Fundamentalists by nature worshipping extremists.Does anyone have any practical
experience with straw bale buildings in northern plains where the soil expands
and contracts enough to cause problems in most concrete basements and
foundations? m.j.
