Rodney and Pamela Volkmar designed a vaulted straw bale cabin. It has an A-frame facade of a small stucco house. With all the materials at the site, Rodney feels this design, even on a larger scale, could be completed in two weeks.
This strawbale home started with a cinder block and earth bag foundation. Next the wood frame was constructed.
The straw bales were then stacked between the wood frame and pinned into place vertically and laterally with bamboo sticks. This added maximum strength to the house.
The final step was to spray earthen plaster over the structure with the stucco sprayer. According to Rodney, the stucco sprayer saves a huge amount of time and labor.
If you want to learn how to stucco, or want to apply stucco or mortar to a wall or strawbales, you will like this Stucco sprayer for spraying traditional 
plaster, lime and natural earth plaster, and stucco and mortar mixes.
