SB: re: hybrid question

1.  Bale walls go up first.
2.  Bale walls get super compressed, height measured.
3.  Vertical notches for load-bearing posts get cut in bales, top to
bottom.
4.  Posts, exactly the same height as the super compressed wall, are
fit
into the wall.
5.  Roof trusses are fastened to the posts.

Aren't you going to have a header beam along the top of the posts? That's where our gap came from because our box columns where built exactly the same height as our stacked bale walls. If you don't are you planning on putting a "post" every 2 feet? What about distribution of the weight of the roof?

I also don't understand the need to compress the bales.
