ABSTRACT:
A plurality of panels of strawboard are erected in a closed figure, preferably a square, on a foundation and their base edges mechanically secured to the foundation. The side edges of the panels are butted together and joined, for instance using tape and adhesive on both faces. A wall cap of novel construction is mounted to the upper edges, and a hip roof, preferably of pyramidal figure and made of corresponding cut panels of like strawboard are fitted in place. The foot of each roof panel fits in the wall cap, and its upper edge typically forms a definition line of the roof hip. The roof panels are similarly united using a tape and adhesive joint. Other types of roofs may be provided but are not presently preferred. In instances where strawboard is available in lesser thicknesses, multiple thicknesses of such thinner material, may be laminated to provide panels which are 4, 6 or more inches in thickness. Suitable ways of providing doors, windows, skylights, utility service and finishing are described, as are multiple-module buildings and preferred constructional techniques.
