[Strawbale] 5 perms / no ventilation;and top-of-wall

[N Leone]

Hey RT,

Several years and email servers later and you still have me double checking 
who my driver's license was issued to...

I'm right with you on the joint between ceiling and wall, but I think that 
WatJohn's original detail (and the one from TLS that I described) was about 
the top of the wall assembly itself.  If I read that correctly (no guarantee 
of that...), the original question involved how to get an air barrier on the 
tops of the bales themselves to prevent too much movement of air *within* 
the wall assembly.  Granted if you do a good job with the air barrier 
enclosing the living space, that should be less of a concern, but you still 
need to do *something* with the tops of the bales...  Hopefully that makes 
my question and descriptions make a little more sense.  Maybe.  Hopefully...
