code for straw-bale construction that provides for load-bearing walls.
NOTE: The code may have been superseded; you can find it here:
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate?WAISdocID=26395320983+2+0+0&WAISaction=retrieve
If that doesn't work, go to http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html, click the
"Health and Safety" checkbox, then enter 18944.30-18944.33 . That section
and 18944.40-18944.41 will get you started. I have no idea if these are
still current--supposedly the Building Standards Commission was supposed to
come up with something to go in the CBC. Won't THAT be wonderful.
