Our architect recommended that we read the book "Building Your Straw Bale Home" by Brian Hodge, especially if we would like to do some things ourselves in the process of building our house. Brian Hodge is a builder with over 30 years experience in a large variety of building projects.
I bought our copy of this book earlier this week and have had a good browse through the book so far. Brian covers every aspect of building a straw bale house from how councils see straw bale houses all the way to step-by-step instructions supported by diagrams and photographs.
Brian's writing style is easy to follow and straight to the point as you would expect and the illustrations are clear and helpful.
From my first impression I think this book will become an important source of reference for Rosalba and myself during the actual construction phase of our house for any tasks we perform ourselves and helping us to communicate more effectively with tradesmen and the builder.
