The First Little Pig had a a Straw Home, that there first little pig, should have had a Home Inspection. Then the big bad wofe would not been able to blow his home down. Folks in Aermica, first started build-en homes with Straw Bales, back in the 1800's. There are folks now a days, that are using the technique to build their home. Did you know theres enough Straw growen in Aermica, to build a half million homes every year. And you very will could save 75 % on heating your home of Steaw Bales.

Straw Bales walls also have an excellent load bearing capacity. Some folks have even duilt them selves a two storey home using Straw Bales. There is one little ole problem for folks that come along, and want to buy a Straw Bale home. Will you see there just not very many Home Inspectors, that know how to Inspected a home built using Straw Bales. There are no courses offered to train Home Inspectors, to do inspections of these very unique homes. I'm very lucky, that I got to learn how from a man that built Straw Bale homes. He was a master builder.

The First Little Pig had a Straw Home, Seen that the Straw Bales used for the walls of the home, are hidden behind plaster, drywall even sometimes. Inspect-en these homes involve more than a stick home, does most times. An Inspector needs to do pre-inspection research, that should include a search for the plans of the home, find out if there was any photos taken as the home was being built, talk with the builder if at all possible. The Home Inspector should have an understanding of Straw Bale construction practices.
Even though a Straw Bale Home is very comfortable and energy-efficient, they can also be very unhealth if it was improperly designed or built. Some promotional campaigns have made these homes sound very simple to build, than they really are. Becouse of this, there have been homes constructed by builders and homeowners even, who were not at all qualified to do so.

The First Little Pig had a Straw Home, So folks if your thinking of buying a Straw Bale Home, be sure to have a Home Inspector, that knows about these home do the Home Inspection.
