Windows on The Truth. In the Straw Bale Building world one of the more common traits in home finishing is installing a truth window. This started out as a proof for disbelieving guests; “yes it really is built of straw, let me show you…” but these days it is often just one more great chance to show off your creativity. I have pulled these shots together from this year’s CASBA home tour. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do.                                             Michael I.

MAR 19 2008 Humm.....maybe like windows of the soul. Pam Winterbauer ~ 2006 REALTOR® of the Year (Windermere Welcome Home) 12:28am • #1 Interesting! I would hate to have to pay the insurance on that home though! Susan Susan Davis, Van Buren, Fort Smith, AR Real Estate (Higher Impact Marketing) 12:38am • #2 Susan, Insurance has not been a particular problem for straw bale home owners. Neither has financing. the vast majority of them are just considered wood framed, stuccoed, houses with cellulose insulation. Because that is what they are! The new codes will make it even easier. Michael I. Pulskamp REALTOR®, EcoBroker®, GREEN desingnee (Mainstreet Brokers) 1:40am • #3 MAR 24 2008 Michael - what an inventive way to showcase a straw-bale home! I love the idea! Do you have more pictures? The interior design looks awesome! Mary Bigelow, '09 will be FINE! (BS, LEED Green Associate, Renewable Energy Division, CBS ) 10:48pm • #4 MAR 25 2008 Thanks Mary, These are actually from a few different homes that I was able to tour last weekend with CASBA (CAlifornia Straw Builders Association) on the way home from the annual spring builders conference. The homes and the families that lived in them are all beautiful! Michael I.
