Awesome, I have a genuine question though. Wont the wood eventually rot and cause the house to lose structural integrity? Thanks for sharing your journey👍🏽
@@MichaelValentino got it😂 hey we’ll power to you man! This is one of my biggest things I argue with people about, we all need to be building our homes and building them for cheap naturally so what you’re doing is awesome. Maybe since you are utilizing the stray and mud it will harden similar to cob or adobe structures.
Haha the ending. Good luck with the house mate. Try the fireplace before you fix it all in place. That long horizontal section of pipe could mess with the draft.
@@MichaelValentino Yeah thats right. The longer the pipe It will give of more heat for sure. Im not sure if draft is the right word, what I mean is the flow of air/smoke. Hot air/smoke wants to go straight up so maybe it could have trouble flowing through the horizontal section and it could end up coming out of the front when you open it, or maybe just not burn properly. But you have to try it, maybe it will work just fine. You could also angle that section upwards a bit. sort of diagonaly from the fireplace to the hole in the roof. Or you could put a vertical section first to force the smoke up there and then make it go horizontal. Just play around with it you will figure it out easily.
Gotcha. I was planning a rocket heater, with the pipe going through the straw bale bed frame, but I changed my mind. I'm building the fireplace today, so I'll test it out. Thanks for the tip. @@tomasarana8450
Most of that wood is probably pressure and chemically treated. Siding and paint would probably help but I have seen plywood last for a long long time. Watch out for mold though. Maybe not as big of a problem where you live. You have really come a long way with this.
Yup. I would probably do everything different. Lol. But it's a learning experience and good practice for when I start my main house. All of the wood had been painted a bunch of time, or had stain on it. Once I get it all covered, I can sand it real good, then apply oil. I'll have to layer something over the Adobe on the outside, but the inside I'm just gonna use linseed oil.
How cool, I love it. Can't wait to see the finished result 😀
Thanks!

Great question. I asked around and everyone says I’ll be fine. If not, hopefully I’ll be dead by then.

Really? Crap. I’ve been reading that the longer the pipe, the better the heat. Thanks for the tip.

@@MichaelValentino I just saw your latest short. with the pipe going up and down. Please tell me you are kidding.
I didn't know. Lol. Now I do. Dumb idea. I think I figured out a solution though. @@tomasarana8450
