Natural Building Workshop part 1: Straw Bale with Michael G. Smith

In this 2-part hands-on workshop with renowned author and builder Michael G. Smith, you will learn to build a highly-insulating walk-in produce cooler or any other small straw bale building. Learn to source and select the best bales for building, adjust their size as necessary, and stack them into strong, durable walls. We will explore the best options for structural systems and how to install windows and doors. We will also discuss foundations, floors, plumbing and electrical considerations.
