This one day course is designed to give you an overview of elements required in a straw bale project. Whether it's load bearing or post and beam, there are some basics that must be included. This is a great place to start before you design your own place. We'll cover foundations, wall structure, electrical, plumbing, roofing and then all the questions about insurance and financing on your green home.
At Saito Kai Inc, we believe that your natural home is possible, with the proper planning and education. Spend your time learning about the details of your home before you embark on this exciting adventure.
