The Straw House Blog

Basic information about the house, many of the what's, where's, when's and why's

We blogged the entire construction of the house from breaking ground to (almost) the present day (updates are pending I swear!).

You can follow the specific category links below if you are only interested in certain aspects, technologies, or concepts.

You can also view all the blog entries from the beginning in order. Follow along as we build the house.
