Is this one of those "hay bail" buildings with the stucco/cement coating?

Hi Franklyn,

Yes.  Post and beam construction with straw bale infill.  Chicken wire 
the whole thing and stucco the outside, plaster the inside.  Gives an 
R-50(!) value when properly closed in.  Even though I'm living in the 
Northern edge of the Chihuahuan Desert, it can get plenty cold here in 
the winter.  It's also the least expensive building option for my area 
and will match the architecture of the rest of my place (and just as 
importantly, that of my neighbors).
Warmest Regards,
Pete
