[Strawbale] Natural, inexpensive kitchen cabinets

[Chris Green]

The following link shows a set of kitchen cabinets made in a vaguely 
similar way that I made the ones I talked about, from softwood boards 
ripped down and half-lapped, etc.
These folks did a better job than I did, to be quite honest about it, 
and built the whole unit as one piece, not a series of smaller boxes..

The entry for January 26th shows the finished area.
 
This is a kitchen in what is said to be the worlds' first strawbale 
/mobile/ home...meaning the whole of it is built on a mobile home 
chassis so that it can be moved if necessary.
I have sometimes thought about the possibility of doing this, now I know 
it can be done.

It's in East Yorkshire, England and will be used as a guest cabin/ 
rental cabin. It was built by Richard and Carol Atkinson, who also have 
this website:

They used 90 full bales and 30-odd half bales.

Nicely done, folks.

Cheers,

Chris Green.
