SB: retrofitting a mobile home with strawbales



This is my first contact with this web site.  I read in the book THE STRAWBALE HOUSE by Athena & Bill Steen that someone has retrofitted a mobile home with strawbales.  I would like to contact anyone who has done this because I'm interested in trying it and have some questions such as, would I have to take the tin off of the mobile home and slurry both sides of the bales or would I leave the tin on and slurry just the outside of the bales?  If the tin can be left on, would I need to leave an air space between the bales and the tin?  If this can be done, I think I would build a pole barn type roof with a very large overhang over the mobile home.  I hope someone can put me in touch with someone who can help me answer these and probably many more questions.  Thanks.  Page Fox
