Building with Straw Bale

Big thanks to Matt's good friend Curtis Scheib the founder and CEO of Ecobuilders... Curtis has been building Straw bale houses for decades and was kind enough to let us release some old footage from a DVD from almost 2 decades ago titled "Hands on Straw Bale" that he produced.

This is the last video of a series of uploads from the DVD.... it's a gold mine of information so hopefully you enjoy it! Thanks again Curtis for all your knowledge, love, and evolution to natural building!

After years of research and experimentation Ecobuilders is born with a mission statement that each structure built should be as energy efficient as possible, to provide high indoor air quality, as well as make the lowest impact on the future generations according to the materials, techniques and implementation of the use.

Therefore the structures Ecobuilders builds encompass all of these elements into them from site impacts to local and healthy products and all the other aspects of sustainable building and living. He is constanly rattling his brain to come up with healthier, cost effective ways of living in a more sustainable world.
