SB: Re: Fw: Could we build a straw-bale hangar?

["Trkstr" <trkstr@hotmail.com>]

Perhaps when the building was built it was built without doors and is faced
so the prevailing winds hit the sides of the building rather than whooshing
inside of it.

In Kuna Idaho there is a post and beam SB infill that spans 1 1/2 acres
built in the 40s to house potatoes.  Today the owner sells storage space and
will move the walls around inside for your needs.
