Akela and I are building our 1,200 square foot straw bale home on our 40 acres of high desert land in Colorado, and we are finally moving forward. In this video I'm sharing where we are in the build, what it actually takes to source straw bales as an owner-builder, and the setback that cost us time, money, and a whole lot of energy a while back: cows destroying our entire first delivery of 320 straw bales.
That's behind us now. The new bales are here and the build is happening.
If you're curious about straw bale construction, off-grid homesteading, or natural building in general, this one's for you.
We've been living off grid for years, first in our DIY van build and now in a small studio I built myself. This straw bale house is the next big chapter.
