Well here is the finished exterior frame. I had to space the studs 18" apart rather than your standard 16". The
reason for this is to allow for the bales to fit "between" the studs.

Note that I have constructed a platform that runs around the entire inside base of the stud walls. The purpose of
this is to elevate the bales off the concrete so that any moisture that gets wicked up through the slab will not get
transfered to the bales. After I built this" platform" I just covered it with tar paper prior to placing the bales in
the walls.
