[Strawbale] 2x2" galvanized welded wire mesh for SB house

[Raftercat5 at aol.com]

I am sure you confirmed this, but I thought I should mention it.  Many  farm
suppliers carry 2" x 2" wwm in the 14 gauge.  The problem is that  the "wwm"
stands for WOVEN wire mesh, not WELDED wire mesh.  The woven  wire mesh has
absolutely no shear value.  So, for what it's worth,  please double check to
make sue you did not order woven wire mesh.  Good  luck.

Andrew:  Yes, when my husband ordered it over the phone, the guy at  Farm Tek 
told him it was welded and galvanized wire, 14-gauge.  Now, IF by  some fat 
chance, the sales guy didn't know what he was talking about, we will  send it 
back after examining it if it's woven wire and not welded wire.   Apparently, 
none of the farm stores in the southeast USA carry 2x2.  We did  find 1x2, but 
no 2x2.  We checked all over, finally finding it in a catalog  from Farm Tek.  
We feel like celebrating now...lol.  We're so glad we  have your SB video, as 
we think it's superior to a couple of others (not  mentioning names here).
