[Strawbale] Pex supply lines in SB walls?

[John Swearingen]

It's one of those things that you could say equally about stick frame--why
risk putting it in the walls because the pipes might leak or sweat?
I don't actually think it is, and don't believe it's been shown to be, much
of a threat.  We don't do it often, because it's easier to run it in stick
frame walls.

Why risk putting any plumbing into bale walls?  I always isolate my plumbing
lines from the bales and design the layout to avoid putting water lines in
my bale walls.  Period.
