D&L have been working on this house for two years now. They figure they've got maybe another three before they move in. That gigantic pile of straw is their outside walls. For the record, most of the barn is also full of straw bales. They had to buy last year, right after the harvest.
Granted that it's a very elaborate house, but still...

Actually I have looked into a straw bale house, from the stuff I have been able to read the insulation value is awesome, it will be easy to heat, keep the heat in and keep cool in the summer. Some of the designs are pretty cool too.

Now I feel the need to go back at look at this idea again.
