Straw e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e

What a funny thing to see when you are driving down the road.
It is not uncommon for a car to drive past real slow with someone hanging out the window, taking pictures.

 I don't know but, I'm thinking we don't even need a bed.  The floor of the bedroom looks pretty comfy!


 Ben using a sledge to beat a bale into place.
 Jas and Jesse working on the peak of the gable end.







 The Benners re-tying a bale to fit.
 Cedar made himself right at home.

 Front windows in master.  We are planning on putting a built-in window seat/storage area under the windows... hence no bales.

 What my living room looks like right now.


The most tedious part of this bale process is making the bales the right size in order to fit in place.  This involves re-trying and chainsawing the bales.  The master went so fast because basically the whole side wall used full bales that didn't have to be cut around windows or anything.  

Jesse's having the time of his life!!!

  2. This is SO COOL! I think you could make Cedar a really nice straw bed with some of the extra. Stuff a pillow case or something! Thanks for all the pictures.
