Why pebbles along straw bale wall on the north?
– These pebbles serve several purposes. – Since straw bale walls are not perfectly straight it looks better and is easier to finish by simply laying the pebbles on the floor. Cutting the tile to this edge would not have been easy. – Below the pebbles we plan to cut holes in the sub-floor to allow the cool basement air to flow up to cool the main floor in the summer when the vent in the skylight is opened. – The space keeps people/kids from rubbing the walls which can be abrasive. – It looks beautiful!
