I've got to build a metalworking shop on my land on the mountain, and fast. (recently and unexpectedly moved up there full-time!)
I'm hoping to build a living roof with strawbale infill (yeah, I'd prefer loadbearing, but it's raining cats and dogs up here, there isn't even a foundation yet, and there's no chance of getting a concrete truck in here for a fast pour, so can everyone say Pole Building?) (unless someone else has a better idea or wants to help me fill some bags for a tamped-earthbag perimeter foundation, in the next week or two...)
I've never built a living roof before and am having trouble finding quality info on the net, but figured someone on this list'll have built a good living roof - or could point to their mistakes so I can leapfrog over 'em.
It's not strictly strawbale, so taking it offlist is hunkydory.
Anyone built a living roof yet?
