#Straw Bale House Build Day 21 A 21st Century Barn Raising!

This was by far the biggest part of the house build this far. As much as I would love to be able to complete every part of this build myself, this was something that just required many hands. We spent many sleepless nights thinking about and worrying about house these trusses were going to get up and installed.

Thank you to all who help! Here are the links for our friends who were so generous with their time and strength!
