This is a two room cabin (bathroom and a living-sleeping-eating area) with bale infill perimeter walls and a typical stud and sheetrock wall providing the partition between the bath and remainder of the building. It will be built using a post and beam foundation with a crawlspace. 120V and 240V electrical outlets in the walls will be supplied by UF cable run in the crawlspace and stubbed up through the floor close to each outlet's final location. Duplex boxes will be nailed to 2x4 stakes and pushed flush into the bale walls and the UF cable will snake up to the boxes through notches carved in the bales. It's not a good idea to have plumbing in bale walls so I've designed it to have all interior plumbing (potable and DWV) in that interior partition wall.
