It’s pretty exciting, GreenSpree one of our MySietch bloggers has started construction on his new Straw Bale home. He has the pad and the driveway done and will be moving on towards the construction soon.

Our straw bale home is moving forward! We ended up getting our mortgage approved through our broker without going through CMHC but had already started shopping elsewhere by then. We went to a bank and got a better deal and lower down payment requirement and are going in today to sign the paperwork. We knew we were approved last week so went ahead and started the construction process rolling.

Monday the driveway and more importantly house pad were place and compacted on our lot! This seems to be a good time to go over the foundation construction to be used on our home.
