Testimonials

Here’s how some of the folks who have purchased our DVDs in the past feel about our productions and the support they got from us throughout their building and/or design process. We always appreciate hearing from people, so please feel free to give us your feedback too!

-Andrew and Gabriella

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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 DVD. Keep ‘em coming!

– TC Martindale

Andrew— Your DVDs are absolutely the best thing I’ve found in the straw bale building industry. Thanks again for all your hard work helping others with their Straw Bale Dreams.

— D. Noe

I can’t imagine two better people than you and Andrew to be leaders in the straw bale movement.  You are truly amazing leaders.  If you are ever in Kansas, please stop by Wilson.

-Mayor David Criswell, Wilson, KS

Andrew Morrison’s great instructional DVD covers all aspects of building a 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 am very impressed with the professionalism, the responsiveness to questions, prompt replies, positive attitude and your passion really shows through all of that. I have bought my fair share of products on web sites and yours is top notch. Plus you buy a product and at all times are aware of the receipt of the order, the shipping, you are aware of everything new that is going on, this site. I just can’t say enough good things about your work. You guys are awesome.

I have purchased these products before on disc, loaned them out, and never got them back! I guess it serves me right for being trusting and generous to a fault. But now that we are making serious plans to proceed with our project, I need the information at my fingertips, and I need to be able to communicate the process to others. Your presentations are so to-the-point and complete, I can trust my helpers will understand from the start what is expected in the end product.

Andrew, your DVDs are clear,concise and enjoyable. Anyone serious about straw bale construction will gain invaluable insights into their future project.

Andrew, We have all of your DVDs and are looking forward to your latest one! Your DVDs are all excellent and contain the right amount of technical detail and even humour that makes them enjoyable to follow! We consider you to be the -ONLY- relevant and importantly -CURRENT-(up to date) information provider on this excellent home building technique.

— J. Hamilton

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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 a reality. Great job guys and keep it up.

– C. 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!

– S. 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.

– T. 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.

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

– Shawn
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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!

– D. Gentry
Curryville, Mo

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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
Loa, UT

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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 DVDs very soon! Thanks again and keep up the good work!

— Wendy

———————————————————————————————————————————-

Your DVDs are an inspiration, they illuminate and educate and are well worth buying.

Your straw bale DVDs have given me the confidence to begin my first project. I am so grateful for your load bearing DVD as that is the way I want to build my mountain retreat.

– R. Gillentine
Wofford Heights, CA

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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.

— M. Lobby

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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!

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.

— D. Enns

“I have really enjoyed the videos. They have really helped me to understand the building process with straw bale structures.

– Kim

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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.

– M. Cremonese

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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.

– P. 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.

– H. Smits
Erie, CO

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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

– R. Knous

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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.

– J. Simpson

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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.

– S. 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.

– S. Waldie
Columbus, OH USA

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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

– K. le Masurier

———————————————————————————————————————————-

The DVD was very comprehensive and informative. I feel that I can tackle my straw bale building project with confidence now!

–B. Ashwell

———————————————————————————————————————————-

I have been studying straw bale construction for about a year. Your instructions have been the best I’ve encountered so far. You’ve already saved me many potential headaches. Thanks.

— M. Currin

———————————————————————————————————————————-

Your DVDs are exceptional—well worth the cost many times over.

— J. Curmi

———————————————————————————————————————————-

I really appreciated the DVD on plastering. Very practical and loaded with information. Nothing else available like it. Thank you.

– L. Wright

———————————————————————————————————————————-

Thanks for the DVDs guys, they are very comprehensive, I show them to many friends, and now we are a big crew of people who want to start their own straw bale house. Keep going and find time to come over in France and help us with our project : ) Cheers.

– Gael
Metabief, France

———————————————————————————————————————————-

My husband and I are so grateful to have found you! We are still in the planning stages of our load bearing straw bale, but your comprehensive DVDs and weekly lessons have been invaluable in laying out the step-by step process in terms easily understood and often revisited. We are excited about your  load bearing DVD- it’s just the ticket for answering those last-minute questions before diving in to our project! Thanks so much!

– K. Kimmel
Hesperus, CO

———————————————————————————————————————————-

Thank you for the Straw Bale lessons, weekly minute and news letter blog and especially the DVDs. Not only have I been able to learn a lot but I’ve been able to help my friends out with their straw homes as well and show them the DVDs. Looking forward to your next DVDs!

I had 5 college students working on my 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. With out the great instruction I would not have completed my house on time and the city would have issued a court order to have it demolished while I was fighting in Iraq.

– J. Schulz

———————————————————————————————————————————-

Andrew, I purchased your Post & Beam Infill, Plastering with NHL and Monolithic Concrete Slab DVDs and want to offer you my heart felt thanks. They walked me through step by step and answered all my questions, they gave me a direction, a road map if you will, to allow me to build my own dream which will start if all goes well in Aug.

Let me just say the DVDs were/are worth every penny, Thank you once again!

– D. Robertson
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

———————————————————————————————————————————-

The most comprehensive and understandable package I’ve seen so far. I like the way the DVDs are broken down into subjects for easy assimilation & understanding.

– M. Greenbank
Boise, Idaho, USA

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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!

– F. Gregg
Lafayette, Colorado

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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 DVDs 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 came 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.

– A. Bernard
Briarcliff, Arkansas

———————————————————————————————————————————-

I have learned more from your DVD than I did through the ‘hands on’ class I took with some other builder. 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. Thanks.

– A. Kennedy
Tucson, Arizona

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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.

– K. Wells
Cheraw, SC

———————————————————————————————————————————-

I wish I would have had access to your materials before I built my last straw bale project.

— Trevor
Lethbridge , Alberta CANADA

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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.

– T. King
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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.

— D. 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, Post and Beam Straw Bale Construction, Plastering, and Load Bearing Straw Bale 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 DVD!

– S. Ives
Pagosa Springs, CO

———————————————————————————————————————————-

We ( my children and I) love your web site and instructional videos. We are hoping to start our straw bale home this summer.

– Diannia

Your straw bale lessons are the very best available on the Internet. They have answered many hard to get answer to questions. Thanks so much for advancing knowledge on the best building technology for a a soon to be energy-deficient world.

– D. Platt

———————————————————————————————————————————-

Even though our home is still in the design stage, we have relied heavily on your DVDs and online classes while making our plans. Thank you for your generosity in answering all the questions I have sent your way!

———————————————————————————————————————————-

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 incredibly complete and comprehensive, I have thrown most of my other 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!

– C. 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 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!

– M. 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!

– C. Hyer
Bernalillo, New Mexico

———————————————————————————————————————————-

I was very impressed with the thorough job on foundations. I am starting my home building project in April and this information is extremely valuable and timely.

– L. McGee
Ft. Payne, Alabama

———————————————————————————————————————————-

I am from South Korea. Your DVD arrived and watched it. Wow So Great. Your straw bale Home and DVD make me feel wonderful and fantastical. It is great. Take care of yourself and thanks for the great information. I love you Strawbale.com

Just loved your videos!

– D. Bauer

———————————————————————————————————————————-

I sit daily dreaming about building a straw bale home. Watching your DVDs and reading your on line lessons fuel my belief that one day this too will be a dream fulfilled for me and my family. I really appreciate your dedication to this necessary and beautiful building alternative.

– R. Goodman

———————————————————————————————————————————-

You guys are the only source I truly trust. My first straw bale project will start in a couple of months, and would not be accomplished without the input I’ve gotten from your lessons.

– J. Cross

———————————————————————————————————————————-

All of the information you send regarding straw bale construction is awesome!!!  Thank you so much.

Just wanted to tell you how much your help is appreciated.

My DVDs arrived the other day, thank you so much for your follow up email..
I’ve watched them and love your approach.. For someone who is just getting into
The field of permaculture and sustainable living, they have been extremely
helpful, and I hope one day to be living in a beautiful straw bale home.

Bye for now
