Straw Bale work on eco-building in St.Anns Part 23

Work is continuing at EcoWorks with the Straw Bale building. The walls for the whole building are now up!!

As at lower levels, more spikes were then cut, and driven into the bales from the top. All providing a degree of rigidity.

Wooden 'top-plates' having previously been constructed were then laid ontop of the bales. They stayed there for a few weeks, so that under their weight, the whole issue settled down.


*****
