SB: Building with Bamboo and straw?

[Eric Riehl <ericrriehl@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

  I just finished reading _Grow Your Own House_, about
building with Bamboo, and it gets a person interested
in using Bamboo as a building material in much the
same way as _The Beauty of Straw Bale Homes_ by 
the Steens gets a person interested in Straw Bale.

  It seems like one could combine the two materials,
and make a home with Bamboo suporting the roof and
Straw Bale walls.  I wonder if anybody on this list
knows of people who have tried to combine the two
techniques, and if anybody can recommend a more "nuts
and bolts" book about construction.

Thanks,

Eric Riehl
