AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 thats a good idea with the straw. Jablite sheets of expanded polystyrene insulation easy to cut to size...water proof...lasts forever... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mossman330 0 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 i was trying to build it a cost effective as possible. a bail of straw cost about $4 and you could insulate probally 10-15 for these houses with 1 bail plus bedding for the inside.

mossman330 0 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 i got the idea of straw insulation when i was driving home from work and saw a construction crew building a house with straw insulation. if it can insulate a persons house surely it can insulate my dogs house.
