(This is a continuation from PART 1: • Natural Building How-T... )
Lately, there's been a lot of building work going on around Dancing Rabbit (www.dancingrabb...)
So for this episode of Dancing Rabbit TV, we're taking the opportunity to provide a "how-to" natural building lesson, an in-depth video about earthen plastering techniques and application. Tamar guides us through every step of the way, showing how easy it is to make natural plaster from just a few simple ingredients, and both making and mixing the plaster, and then applying it to a natural home wall.

I know about Dancing Rabbit thanks to 30 Days. Such an interesting episode, great to see how the 'city slickers' became more accustomed to the traditions of the eco-village and how their judgment peacefully went away once they warmed up to the idea.
What I'm sad about is knowing how the woman in this video, Tamar, passed away of terminal cancer in 2010. Reading her blog, documenting her journey with cancer. May she rest in peace. :(
I am so glad to have found your videos! I am making a straw bale shelter for an emu that I've acquired. I've got the bales up but was having trouble finding info on making earthen plaster. Your videos were perfect and I love how natural everything is that you do! Thank you very much! :)
There was a company in Texas that made building panels out of compressed straw, but they went out of business in 1990.
@jerryaltman well you can use a high pressure baler and drive slow when you make them, that makes them nice and tight.
With large enough roof overhangs, the walls are generally well-protected against the rain. That is usually the best defense against the elements.
Loved it, thanks. I did some pottery in the past. Clay is definitely my element.
bamboo as a live plant growing in the ground helps to keep the earth from cleaving.
strips of bamboo added to the cob structure helps to keep the structure from caving in during a quake

Yeah it's great to see hands on! Thank you.
very helpful
we are building a "GREEN" house this summer
thanks again

I think it would stand up pretty well as it would have a lot more give. Sure you'd have cracks in your plaster but that would be merelu cosmetic and easily fixed.
On the other hand, I don't know if I'd like it in a cyclone prone area...would appear to be easily torn apart and that would be dangerous...bits flying everywhere.
well done.
To peste padure: the second plaster layer is ment to build out to shape, ie; to level the wall to a nice flat surface or to add sculptural elements. So the ratios of this mix will vary depending on how thick a build out is needed. Generally, just clay sand and draw are used in a second coat, and I like a watery clay mix that is a bit soupy that is very high in straw content, with a little sand. I want a mix that will go on easily, build out to thickness/shape quickly, and doesnt crack much. Hope this helps. Hassan hall (cobwallbuilder.com) lives at dancing rabbit ecovillage
aww comeon, i watched the whole video and i learned something new - don't be a meany. i'm just saying, she's really beautiful.
thanks for sharing..
Great stuff
I agree with SauronsEye -- I live in Tornado Alley and I'd want to know how well this building technique stands up to tornadoes before I'd build with it. Having said that, I'd like one more video detailing the second coat, and what you do to keep your plaster from melting when it rains.
And Neuroid is right -- Tamara is super-cute!
Excellent post. I don't understand though how the straw bails don't catch fire through decomposition?
Also do they don't decompose and settle over the years? Thanks for the info!
it would!! Everyone would go total green! lol
Thank you soooooo much!! Can you do a video on the final coat as well?
lol that little calf wanted to personally deliver some of your ingredients. 😊
😄
bamboo helps with earth quake protection

nice. looks like lipay that they do/used to use on the walls of village houses in Trinidad and maybe India. That's made of cow dung, straw and mud mixed. What is this made of?

NOW THATS A HAND TROWEL.......
Thanks for sharing this with us. Good work. One question: does the wall suffer a lot of rain?
Thank you. I would like to know how do you make the wall of straw before coating with earthen plaster.
How long will the earthen exterior last?
umm... i haven't a clue. Probably with lime stuff. Can't think of the name of it for some reason!!
wait, i thought you were supposed to avoid making the hay and straw from getting moist cas it will rot. won't this house rot?
amazing. thanks great video... i think this technology of future... oil will eventually run out.. you know what? instead of mud clay stuff i want to try drywall clay..the white stuff you buy at home depot in america. and use it on straw....... what do you think?
o also you good looking too :)
Do we use the same material for the second layer?
@jerryaltman
Just out of curiosity, as opposed to you not using powertools to apply plaster: Who actually does? O_o
Hey! Can you use this indoors too?
Certainly. - Vick for Dancing Rabbit
@glvedio free peeling, no?
I was very sad to hear that the young lady in the video, Tamar, passed away a few years ago from natural causes. She is buried there at Dancing Rabbit.
So sad :( , I discover her recently she helped me very much about hay and clay work.
"Before we get right down to applying it, we need to wet our surface." If you know what i mean....
duuude that chick is HOT
owh my god..she plastering without gloves...not good for your hand u know..:-)
