<UL><LI>External and internal faces of the straw bales are pre-dipped in clay "soup" and then tightly fitted between timber studs. Each straw bale is further compressed from the top with a timber lath. Every unevenness in the wall surface and every cavity between bales is filled with a clay-straw mixture. Panels are pressed against the perfectly leveled elastic "mud" surface and mounted to the timber construction. This way there is no space for rodents, no chance for fire to catch or spread.</UL>
