Building a house - falls over at the last minute (Wolf Problem)

[nomadd]

Hi Guys,

I've been trying to build a house but it keeps falling over at the last minute.

Are there any other types of straw I can use which can withold a sustained blow from a big bad wolf?

TIA

How long have you been building this house...? Clearly billing by the hour.

Build it on sand to get the best view.

Thanks

Poor defence IMO. SpaceCadet should have posted here before building the house and asked for the best way to build a house with straw. Now, several iterations later, in true Bob IT contractor style he is seeking advice.

Ask yourself this question, what would Suity do ?

In Spacecadets defence, he said made of straw, not made of straw bales which are spiked to the ground, and lime mortared.

Houses made from straw are allegedly pretty strong. I don't know why more houses aren't made form it except because it would make builders, tradesman, middlemen, officialdom and bankers redundant. Plonking down some easy to lay straw bales would never do as a means of keeping the plebs in debt.

WHS. Straw is a great building material. You must be doing it wrong.

Some of these parody threads are brutally unfunny.
