#strawbale BEWARE: This Could Happen To You When Bales Compress

In this short video we show the problems we had with the compression of the bales. Those walls that are "load bearing" sustained more compression than the non-load bearing walls. This caused us to replace some of the trim pieces located on the outside of the building.

As always, we thank you all for watching, liking our videos and subscribing to our channel. If you know anyone who might be interested in what we are doing, please let them know about our channel. Thanks!
