We drive a car that runs on used vegetable oil and we built a straw bale house... we thought this might be a fun way to document our adventures and maybe, in turn, help others who decide to give it a go as well. Note: If you are interested in reading about the building of our straw bale house check out the blog archive (on the right side a little ways down) from 2008- when we began our research and 2009- when we actually constructed the house.

Initial steps in building the bale walls
Dura-wall (normally used in cinder block buildings)
used in between bales to add strength to the walls
Many bales had to be retied to new sizes to fit into the walls
Another form of bale alteration came in the form of
trimming with a weed wacker. Much harder than it looks.
