After teaching thousands of professionals and owner- builders over the years to build a post & beam straw bale structure, the thing I keep hearing from people is that they want a step-by-step system that actually teaches them how to build a load bearing structure.

Most of the information available out there shows how wonderful straw bale is, but there is little that actually teaches people how to actually build their own load bearing structure with straw bales.

So over the last few months, I have created the perfect system to overcome this common complaint.

First of all, I created a complete step by step guide that walks you through the exact details needed to build a load bearing straw bale structure.

Secondly, the delivery of the course is unique -it’s set up in a day by day breakdown of the process that allows you to properly allocate the time you will need to build the exact structure used as a teaching piece in the DVD. It is the perfect practice structure for anyone interested in building their own home.

The bottom line is that this DVD isn’t a "wouldn't it be nice if you could build a home like this" approach like so many other resources. It’s completely step-by-step, both in the content and the delivery.

"Now this is what I've been waiting for!  I've read all the straw bale books on the market and they're all good, but they just can't compare to the detailed step-by-step instructions in your DVDs.  Keep 'em coming!"

Andrew--- The Three DVD's are absolutely the best thing I've found in the Straw bale building industry. Thank’s again for all your hard work helping other's with their Straw Bale Dreams.

You'll Learn The Techniques The Professionals Use

What experienced straw bale builders know --and usually don't talk about -- is that building a load bearing straw bale structure is really quite easy.

Successful straw bale builders know the techniques and how to apply them over and over again.

Most straw bale builders started out not knowing the first thing about straw bale building. I know that was the case with me. We had to study from books, travel to workshops, or be lucky enough to apprentice with a more experienced straw bale builder to learn the tricks of the trade.

"Andrew Morrison's great instructional DVD covers all aspects of building a post and beam type Straw Bale building. I must say that on a 'return on investment' basis this DVD beats any SB book several times over, hands down!

When you take into consideration the cost of SB books and then add the extensive time needed to read them, try to make sense of the diagrams and descriptions, its easy to see how a small investment on this DVD is a great deal either as a starting point to learn about SB building or as an extension to your existing reading.

Even if you have some practical experience its unlikely that Andrew's DVD isn't going to pay for itself several times over.

"I have never witnessed such thorough customer satisfaction as i have with your ongoing support. although my structure is still in the planning stages (foundation this spring) i am so looking forward to putting all the ideas into play as well as a few of my own. one day i plan to sit down inside my own straw bale dwelling and think fondly of everything you have done to make it reality. great job guys and keep it up."

-- Carlos Jarrett
Clendenin, WV

"Andrew,  Thank you for all the great support that you are responsible for in the straw bale home 'DREAM!'   I have been holding my dream for over ten years now and your DVD on Post & Beam Straw bale construction with the Plaster DVD are by far the best instructions that I have seen.  Books are great but nothing has come close to the support that I felt from your DVD set.  I have been looking forward to your next instructional DVD with great expectation.  Keep up the good work!"

-- Steve Petersen
Wheat Ridge,  Colorado

"I find the information contained in the Straw bale DVDs to be invaluable; though books are very helpful, seeing the strawbaling process being carried out 'live' before your very eyes makes all the difference.  Sometimes words are not enough--you need to see it being done to really get the hang of it.  Thanks for making the straw bale process so accessible."

-- Terry Gerling
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

"Andrew I have watched you DVD and read all the lessons. They are very well done for those of us  who are all thumbs. After the lessons and DVD I am sure I will be able to get it done with no problem, and if I do have a problem all the info I need is close at hand. Thanks."

-- Gale Bachman

"The Post frame and Plastering DVDs were great.  You make it look easy.  Every question I had was answered in the DVDs."

"After watching the Straw Bale DVD, I have more confidence that I (a woman) could do this myself,  (with a little help from my friends) and can't wait to get started!"

-- Debbie Gentry

I have led a few straw bale workshops and they are wonderful for getting a hands-on experience with straw bales.

The trouble is most of us don't have the time or resources to take 10 days from our busy lives and travel to someone else's land and build them the straw bale house of their dreams!

I've read almost every book on straw bale building and to be honest with you it's almost impossible to apply what you read in a book to an actual building.

This is why I created my series of Step-By-Step Instructional DVDs.

"My Load Bearing DVD is a Workshop In A Box"

My instructional DVDs are set up as "workshops in a box" and the new Load Bearing DVD is no exception. But don't take my word for it, read comments from some of the thousands of people who are building their straw bale home with the help of my instructional DVDs.

"I have attended workshops on Straw Bale construction and bought several books on all aspects of straw bale construction and finishing, and have found these DVDS to be the absolute best, most informative, and easiest to understand if you want to build using straw bale. I look forward to new additions to this resource library to assist those of us that love the straw bale concept.   

-- C.A. Baldwin

"Thanks ever so much for your free straw bale lessons. I have been looking forward to each and every one of them. I will definitely be buying the DVD's very soon!  Thanks again and keep up the good work!"

"Your straw bale DVD's have given me the confidence to begin my first project. I eagerly await your DVD on the load bearing method as that is the way I want to build my mountain retreat."

-- Ron Gillentine

"I used your DVD for the construction of a concrete slab in an existing Pole Barn. It was extremely helpful. I was able to follow your instruction step by step and finish a slab 24 feet by 48 feet mostly on my own. The DVD was well thought out and very easy to follow. Thank you."

-- Michael Lobby
Scappoose, Oregon

"A few years ago I needed a new dog house.  My guys needed something big and I needed to be able to get inside and keep it clean.  It was looking like a pipe dream until I started getting your help with online lessons!  I built my dogs a 2 room dog house I could walk in only slightly stooped.  The 2 best things were 1-it is very comfortable for my dogs, and 2-I could afford it.  I did it all by myself - because people thought I was nuts, but now everyone wants to see the straw dog house.  Everyone wants one for themselves.  All I did was read your lessons, and my first try out, I did it!"

-- Paula
Lexington, SC

"Andrew, I was so excited to receive your DVD in the mail after reading your webpage.  It was so well put together, and really a beautiful thing to watch.  As a plasterer in Las Vegas, working on high-rise towers in the concrete jungle, it was a breath of fresh air to see what you can do with the natural resources of the Earth.  I can't wait for the next DVD in April.  Maybe some day, I will try my own straw bale house."

-- Darren Enns

"While drawing up my next house's plans, I'm enjoying watching your set of DVDs I bought last December. They're clear and straight to the point, free from jargon or silly technicalities common to most 'how-to' programs. Keep on with the good work."

-- Marcus Cremonese
Sydney, Australia

"I always assumed there was enough info out there for a straw bale structure when I got around to building one but I did not expect the level of accessible information and professional support that Andrew Morrison is providing."

-- Paul Liotsakis
Alameda, California

"The DVDs are a great resource, the explanations are clear, and it is fun and fascinating to watch them. They are not of the kind that show you the fun and easy bits (omitting the hard parts), they're honest and explain very well what will hit you when you get involved with straw."

-- Hubert Smits
Erie, CO

"Andrew's Straw Bale DVD's are excellent.  If you're thinking of building, they offer invaluable assistance and information."

-- Rick Knous
Los Angeles, CA

"Thanks to your Straw Bale Success lessons, I have decided to build a new home with Straw Bales.  I would never have thought I would be able to do this on my own. Your DVD's and success stories have put me over the top and I am now ready and confidant enough to do this."

-- John Simpson
Powell River, British Columbia

"We really appreciate the straw bale construction and plastering DVD set.  There is so much great information there that is going to help when we soon build our own straw bale house."

-- Stacy Diven
Colorado Springs, Colorado

"I've been reading about straw bale buildings for a couple of years, but Andrew, I have to say you are a natural teacher.  You deal with real issues in the lessons I've seen, and handle it with actual how-to answers.  Great motivation to continue in my quest to become a resident of a straw bale home!  Thanks."

-- Sharon Waldie

"I have learned more about straw bale construction from these folks than from any other source."

-- Ken le Masurier
Fenelon Falls On Canada

This DVD is set up in a step-by-step day by day format. I walk you through all the steps beginning in day 1 with site assessment and ending on Day 6 with the final preparations prior to plastering.

Each chapter of the DVD represents a day of work so you can properly allocate the time you will need to build the exact structure. The structure you will be building is the perfect practice structure to hone your skills prior to tackling a large project.

I have consulted with a number of people who jumped right into building a large structure without any previous experience. This mistake ended up costing them a fortune in wasted time and money. All of them expressed that they wished they had built something small as a practice building beforehand. I agree!

In 6 days you will have built your own Load Bearing Straw Bale structure!

"I had 5 college students working on by straw bale house trying to finish it before the Army deployed me to Iraq. My helpers/workers did not have much (if any) construction experience. I had them watch the straw bale/plastering DVD before they could work for me. Before each phase they had to re-watch the DVD.

"Finally someone offers a real 'how to' that explains building with straw bale! I have searched from place to place to find all the information that is provided right here in your videos!" 

-- John B.
Gainesville, FL

"The knowledge contained here is absolutely a requirement for all who are contemplating building with straw. Whether you do it yourself or supervise the construction, this will keep you on track. Highly recommended!"

-- Frank Gregg
Lafayette, Colorado

Have you thought for a moment what it would be like
to have this kind of detailed information?

I get a lot of e-mails asking me when I'm going to be leading my next workshop. I always steer them to the web site and recommend that they save themselves a buck or 2 and get my straw bale DVDs.

Why?

I just did a quick look on the web and the average cost for a 5 day straw bale workshop is $500.00. This does include room and board but still, you're having to take time away from work and your family to be there, and this costs money.

Studies have shown that for optimal learning, most people need to hear and see material more than once. You just don't get that in a live workshop setting.

"Andrew, My husband and I watch a portion of your Straw Bale DVD every week; going over and over it.  Every time we re-watch a portion, we catch something new, and are able to 'tweak' our own home design a bit more, and have gotten so many valuable tips and insights, the DVD is worth twice what we paid for it, easily! We feel we will really be prepared when we build, which will be soon!"

-- Kate and Michael B.
Atlanta, Georgia

"Andrew, I have been watching the DVD’s I got from you over and over again and the clarity and detail are absolutely great. I plan to build a load bearing Straw Bale home and am amazed that you are coming out with that DVD just in time for me to begin construction.  It is as if you are holding my hand guiding me to a healthy, energy saving home that will not drain my resources as time goes by. I look forward to having folks come over for a fun mud party as we encapsulate the bale walls. Thank you."

-- Alan Bernard
Briarcliff, Arkansas

"I have learned more from your DVD than I did through the 'hands on' class I took.  Your DVD is easy to understand, you make it look easy, and I know it isn't. I am chomping at the bit to jump in and get started when I retire to Rio Rancho, New Mexico. What you are doing is supplying the 'wannabe' straw bale builders with some much needed information and guidance. I appreciate what you are doing and Thanks."

-- Arlington Kennedy
Tucson, Arizona

The way I structure this DVD walks you step by step through the load bearing process. It's like having me for your very own private workshop!

You won't have to leave home, take time off work, or build a structure on someone else's land!

"Andrew:  Thanks so much for making the DVDs.  My husband and I have learned much from them. Seeing the procedures was so much more clear than just reading about them in a book.  Your work was meticulous and your words were precise.  Keep up the good work.  You've done a lot for SB enthusiasts."

"Andrew, I have just about every straw bale book I can find and they are very educational, but being able to watch someone actually do each stage of the building process as they are teaching makes all the difference.  I am currently building a Post and Beam Infill and was planning on contracting someone to do the stucco(very expensive) until I read the information about and ordered your plastering DVD.  Thanks a million."

-- Tim King

"Andrew, Thank you so much for your weekly straw bale lessons or Straw bale Minute. I have had an interest in alternative building methods since I first got introduced to them in 70's. I've acquired some land in Arkansas and can't wait to start building Straw bale structures beginning with a workshop, then a house.   When I heard how fireproof straw bale construction is compared to stick framing I decided I can safely have my blacksmithing shop inside.  Thanks again for your willingness to share your knowledge & experiences with us all."

-- Dean Hutchins

"Strawbale.com, and all of the amazing resources found there, is the reason I started seriously considering building my own straw bale house in the first place. Your videos on Foundations, Straw Bale Construction, and Plastering provided the kind of step-by-step information that this straw bale novice needed to understand the process and to have the confidence to dive into my own project. I can't wait for the next video on Load Bearing Straw Bale."

"Hi Andrew  I've been thinking about building a straw bale home for several years and collected a vast number of tips.   Nothing came anywhere close to the package you were putting together on your DVD. So incredible complete and comprehensive, I have thrown most of my collection out. Your disk is all one needs to go from slab to rooftop.   I almost gave up my initial dream of building a load bearing construction - fortunately I don't have to do that now... "

-- Chris Bschaden
Charleston, New Brunswick, Canada

"Of the three Straw Bale DVDs I've invested in so far, Andrew's was by far the most informative.  He doesn't skip any of the steps and gives good detail on how to go from foundation to the finish coat of plaster.  I feel like I could complete a small project on my own based on what he's taught me.  Thanks for continuing your efforts to educate people about the wonders of straw bale construction!"

-- Melissa Roberts
Burnsville, North Carolina

"I never realized just how easy it was to build a beautiful straw bale home!  Your videos helped me understand that building with straw is just as easy, if not simpler, as traditional construction and the wonderful, heavily insulated, thick walls are built in!"
