Huffing and Puffing Won’t Blow This House Down
Come hear Ramona artisan and 'straw bale guru' Mark Tighe discuss the logistics of straw bale construction from start to finish. Photos for this talk are from a local straw bale home. With over 50 years of experience, Mark has built homes, guest houses, monastic dormitories, churches, museum buildings, vinyard tasting rooms and other straw bale structures in the U.S. and Mexico. He makes furniture and doors and remodels conventional houses as well. Not ready to build, but want to know more? Please inquire about consultations: altbldgexp @ gmail.com, or call 858-442-8709. Mark's many projects include the post-Cedar Fire rebuild of Southern California artist James Hubbell’s home and studio compound, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
