(strawbales using an expensive conventional foundation and roof making not alot of sense for me and not even saving money much of the time by what I hear) Heck you could almost put stick built walls up to save time (as earthbags are a big cost in time and hassle per cubic foot filled whereas the walls are the cheapest by comparison to roof/foundation) and things like that is almost what i'm now thinking. Why aren't we already doing this?
