Thanks buddy!

Thanks for your question! :) Well, there's no bugs in this one! Hempcrete has a high lime component which the termites don't like. It caustic to them. And whilst it's meant to be completely termite resistant best practice is to still use ant caps or similar in the footings.

Well siad buddy!

So true! Johan can scale this to Australia, USA or wherever. The hemp building industry in general is at it's very early stages, but it's come very far in the past few years and it will go much further in the next few years!

@@JeremyThomas_Environmentarian Amazing stuff, I"m hoping to use it for a future build in South Australia. Keen to see more australian grown and processed hemp products as per Bernie's comment. I love Earthships but they require too much labour and I'm thinking Hemp Block is the logical next choice. What's the lead time for the materials? What was the cost for a building of this size? How is hemp block to deal with councils/permits? The logistics of this needs to make sense - Although can appreciate early adopter tax. Cheers, Mark.

@@navaho5430 great question! The lime component makes it pretty much bug proof. For traditional stick/wood frame houses it’s advised to have ant caps, but I can’t see how they get through the hempcrete blocks considering the hydrated lime. It would be great to test this somehow some day!

Hi there, Kirstie Wulf from Shelter Building Design is the person to contact about this. Feel free to email me directly and I can e-introduce you to her....

Thanks buddy, I appreciate the kind words...

Hi Dave, AHM have a few coming up www.hempmasonry.com.au/workshops/ Not sure when the next HempBOCK one will be. Signing up to the monthly newsletter at www.hempbuilding.au would be your best bet to stay across upcoming workshops.

Glad you think it's a great product! It's been a lot of fun to make this episode.

Thanks! We're trying to get the word out :)

Looks interesting, What time is the bar b q ?

@@lancelotpcoxhead9087 lol!

Lancelot p Standing by in Mawson ACT B4 I go to the Pub for the meat raffle. LOL!

Jeremy there is a system of form work that Formblock Industries Katoomba ex - owned by a guy Steve Macgregor used in there in the Blue Mountains. Are you familiar with it. Lance

A very well put together video and presentation. Obviously experienced competent Techs the Seniors amongst it. Three thumbs up. Thank you for the video invite. Stay with this. very impressive.

Great point. And thats kind of how it came back into use. In France an engineer wanted to use old historic barns/stone buildings for residential but they were too cold and draughty. So the interior walls had hempcrete cast against them, rendered, and there is your lovely home... Check out the Shed to home video here - th-cam.com/video/C64yevoQncc/w-d-xo.html

I think so too. Thanks for commenting!

thanks for watching and commenting buddy! :)

@@gilberttigere5116 not yet. Hoping to one day though!

@JeremyThomas_Environmentarian thank you i am binging on anything to do with hemp and wondering how big and high I can go on hemp. Can I also replace hemp with wood chip anyone please help with infor or pros and cons

Hi mate, this house was a retrofit and there is a longer video with much more info. It's the Queenslander one. Yes, strip foundations will work but a slab has more thermal mass to regulate the internal temperatures. I'd like to build a structure on piers. Once the walls were complete use the fix form panels onto underside of floor bearers and fill the cavity with hempcrete insulation. This would provide both insulation and thermal mass without the need for truck loads of concrete. What do you think?

I run the Hemp Building Directory at www.hempbuilding.au where there is a bunch more info...

No worries. Glad you liked it and I appreciate the specific comment!

Thanks Kirstie for this extra info! Good to know :)

Thanks for the comment buddy! I'll do my best to keep em coming but I gotta hustle to pay rent and look after my daughter solo so I can only do what I can... Hoping one day someone might actually pay or sponsor me to promote carbon sequestering! If you feel like contributing hit this link :) hempbuilding.au/help-hbd-help-the-planet/ Thanks so much either way...

That's an idea!

Thanks Amelia!

Thanks! Create the form you want with molding first. 1/4 cut PVC pipes can work well. If going off form hempceret that one must be diligent with the packing and tamping but if it's rendered then you can refine the cures with render layers...

Hi Levi, Marijuana was a word created to demonise all forms of cannabis. Hemp is in the cannabis family. It has been used for 1000s of years by humans for all kinds of things. The seeds are super food with high protein, omega 3&6. The fibre has 1000s of uses from clothes (the first jeans were made from hemp) to paper (the declaration of independence was first made from hemp) to rope and sails (the English Navy ruled the world thanks to hemp) and building materials from the Romans to modern day highly efficient hempcrete passive houses.
