If you cannot make that happen, then make sure you protect the walls from rain and snow. If you wrap the house in Tyvek or tarps, you should be okay. Be sure you check the perimeter of the structure periodically through the winter to make sure the tarps or Tyvek have not failed anywhere. Thanks for the positive feedback by the way! Jordan,

My question is due to the weather I am not going to be able to plaster the exterior of my structure. It is ready, paper, mesh ect. Is it a really bad idea to leave it exposed for the winter. I was thinking of rapping it in tyvek till spring. any thoughts would be appreciated. also wanted to say that strawbale building is awesome. I am acarpenter and this was my first unconvential project hopefully I will never have to go back to standard construction. Hello Andrew
