The straw in each bale is so tightly packed that there is no room for oxygen, which means combustion can't take place.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-41721232527001142802011-05-15T17:04:38.931-04:002011-05-15T17:04:38.931-04:00I also want to know about the fire hazards.

Our plan is to buy some property and he and our sons will construct it together as they grow - and then we will grow old there together :) There are so many, many things I love about his plan. That he could teach his boys all the things he knows, that we could have something together that is a part of our family tradition, and that it would be a gift from all of us to our older selves. And now, in my mind, I am picturing it like the house you visited . . . all soft light, and window seats for reading, and a garden on the roof.beemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16586002274610935989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-16061397328659324402011-05-10T13:29:56.519-04:002011-05-10T13:29:56.519-04:00This is so cool!
