The Straw and mud houses were 400 years old, very tight and economical to maintain. A friend of mine grew up on a Wyoming farm in a straw Bale House. they were common there because of their high insulation factors keep them nice and warm in the tough winters.<BR/><BR/>Now compare those to the brand-new fixer-uppers they are cranking out in Portland's suburbs...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1138264540378745802006-01-26T00:35:00.000-08:002006-01-26T00:35:00.000-08:00If it looks like a commune.And smells like a commu...If it looks like a commune.<BR/>And smells like a commune.<BR/>Then it must be a Ecovillage.<BR/> :)Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17023473558648648045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1138246649961157452006-01-25T19:37:00.000-08:002006-01-25T19:37:00.000-08:00Ms. Brandy is a hyphen-a-tor.
