text: We LOVE straw bale houses. In the summer of 2012, Dave and his two kids, Hannah and Max, travelled to New Mexico to work on a straw bale house for one week. We met an amazing group of people from all over the world, camped in the desert, and oh yeah - we learned a lot about how to build with straw bales. Dave and Max are in the bottom left of this photo, and Hannah is in the upper right giving the thumbs up.
