Addendum: a number of states have nixed the use of straw as a building material. It is light, great insulation and very fire resistant when tightly packed and covered. Look at how it is used, pretty cool stuff actually. It, too, could be done cheaply, however in an ironic twist only some rich have built with the material so as to get some intriguing designs.

I hope you are right! If not, do you have a guest room? I do house and yard work, and I don't shed.

@Sticks48 Did you read the Snopes link above? ^^^

@CaroleKay Yes. I was trying to be humorous. Obviously l failed.

@Sticks48 How did you fail you got a lovey face from me ? ? Was I supposed to laugh?

@Sticks48 and I do have a spare room and the yard work sounds dreamy.

@CaroleKay That was a lovely face, and it was very nice to see it, but it came up after your asking me if l had read the Snopes thingy. I always work my way from the bottom to the top.

@CaroleKay Why that face?

I'm really glad to see that it is false, thanks for your diligence.
