Andrew,
The DVD's arrived in great shape. I admire your willingness
to share your information and experience. It looks as though you have
definitely taken the business to a professional level. Other resources

rounded walls and windows and an open beamed arched
ceiling that look to capture the organic qualities
inherent in straw bales. An electrical plan
is included on the floor plan and it features a lighting
element along the ridge beam that absolutely drips
with warmth.
