I spent yesterday working with my dear buddy from high school at her construction firm,
New Frameworks, on a hay bale house they are doing near Albany, NY.
I had the most fun, ever, and hurray for green building. Hay bale insulation is 2-3 times more energy efficient than standard insulation! I learned all about plastering and got a lime burn on my finger. And we went swimming in a pond, camped out in a field, and ate at a diner.
(Pictures: Us in front of the house, a (plaster-over-hay bales )wall and corner that I worked on and my awesome buddy then fixed, see how smooth it got?)
