I have seen a tone of earth bag buildings on TH-cam, these videos with your explanations are the best I have seen yet.
Great job.
That's very kind, thanks! 🌞🏜️
Keep your *tone* down please...✌😜
Your narration reminds me of Carl Sagan. I really respect what you all are doing.
Thanks!
This is such an inspiration to those of us who are still in the planning stages.
Glad it's helpful! 🌞🏜️
This hyperadobe build is fascinating! Thank you for sharing your process and the experience of building it.
It is a neat process, and it makes impressively thick and solid walls! Thanks for watching!
You sound like a proud father! Good work!
In life, you find that things go WAYYY easier if it's a lil moist😎👌
👍😄
I think this house is incredible 👍❤👍
Hyperadobe is pretty neat, thanks! 😊🏜️
That OSB will turn into wet cardboard very fast. You need to dig that OSB out get some steal plates and some Steal angles. Then you need to weld one of the steal angles to the steel plate and pound it in the slot that the wood was, make sure it clears the door frame and sits on the wall on both sides, then put the other steal angle on the other side and weld it together from underneath. You could have made your own concrete headers with plenty of rebar in it, but since to didn't do either you need to support the walls above the door and the window. If the wall doesn't flat out fail, the weight will break your window, and you won't be able to open your door once it fully settles.
In the old adobe homes they use wood beams for headers above all the doors and windows. They usually will oil them and plaster around them too.
Please support your walls.
We could have planned things out better, but it will all work out. The OSB was just a quick solution to keep the newly laid bags from sagging down. We have plans in mind to support the window and door frames better, and it should be very stable in the end, so stay tuned.
@@RedandAprilOff-Grid I am glad to hear it. I would hate to see all your hard work ruined or for you to get hurt.
Makes sense to strap it down from being wind blown or with tornadoes, good luck with your build.
Yes definitely, thanks!
What a great construction technique. Watching other concrete printer homes being built. The printed home was much quicker as the printer does not have to haul or lift or tamp as the production is guided by computer…. Very impressed with your work!
Thanks, yes these bags work really well, and dirt is plentiful in most areas.
Yoh raised a good son.
I wish I had mine here helping me out.
It's a lot of work for one prrson.
Hreat job !
Nice, I like the way your family is thinking. Congrats on your ingenuity.
Excited for Kyle! 🥳
Thanks! 😊
Can't ask for much better than that! Hard work, but fulfilling.
Yes, it's pretty cool to see the walls going up, slow and steady.
This is really helpful for those of us who will also be building solo. Helps to not have to reinvent the wheel.
Glad it's helpful!
This is just amazing. Great solution for low cost housing.
Congrats Ya'll. Getting the bag work done is a huge accomplishment!
Thanks! Yes, glad to be done with the bag work! 🌞🏜️
Great video. I suppose it's too late now, but I recommend 2 gallon buckets. I've moved a lot of dirt in these. They are just light enough that one in each hand is very comfortable to carry and easy to lift between elevations. Kyle looks to have a good attention to detail, awesome!
Thanks!
👍 They considered just filling the buckets half full, but they both felt comfortable with the weight of 3/4 full, so it worked out okay.
Kyle's definitely not a perfectionist, but the walls turned out really nice!
I was not surprised how level it was. Your son is a natural.👏🏻💪🏻
This is the last thing we ever expected him to do, but he did it, and it looks great. Thanks!
Great progress you guys!! Can't wait to see the next step :)
👍👍👍👍👍👌Very interesting project , well done work as well as the documentation , of how the project is going step by step, with detailed video, excellent project, Kyle should be very proud of the result and working with you both is a great benefit👍
Appreciate it, thanks for watching! 😊🏜️
Fascinating video. Adobe seems to be such a natural source of building materials. You guys did a fine job, thank you for sharing.
Thanks! Yes, these tube bags are pretty cool and make the whole process so much easier than making adobe bricks.
Amazing he was able to keep it so level.
Yes, he did good!
I love the look. Kinda like the High Chaparral tv show house.
Thanks!
Awesome work! Maybe a big wooden headed sledgehammer to tamp the sides? Then you're not kicking bags with side of foot or kneeling to tamp with 2x4
Very exciting. I bet y’all are glad to make such great progress.
Thanks! Yes, it didn't take too long to finish the walls. It's coming along well.
GREAT WORK... and adjusting for himself! AND GREAT HELP Dad!!
I like the building method. I had built a straw Adobe home and while a nice home, I admire the earth style you guys are building!
Awesome, yes, this is probably quite a bit easier than a more traditional adobe, but both make a great house. 😎🏜️
Another great video
Thanks!
First time I encountered this type of building, but I'm fascinated and intrigued by Hyperadobe walls/buildings, thank you for sharing!
These long bags are so much easier and more stable than sand bags. It is a really neat process and makes for a very solid and inexpensive home.
Thank you. Good info to learn from
Your boy is going to have an amazing place!
This is very cool to watch and learn and about earthbag homes. Can't wait to learn more.
The long hyperadobe bags make the whole process so much easier. Thanks!
A tough task beautifully accomplished..your son is a hard worker indeed. Great job ..👍
Thanks! 🌞
Again Tiny Shiny Home had the same roof issue. You might want to check them out. I just love how natural the house is going up.
Thanks!
Nice to see the work you’re doing. My wife and I are considering many different building methods. We’re also building 16 x 32 interior measurement. Keep up the great work.
Hyperadobe is a lot of work, but it is doable, and it makes a very solid structure. Thanks for watching!
Thanks a bunch! I learned a lot here.
You are the only build I've seen since 2012 when I did my build that are using ratchet straps for the top plate... I swore I innovated that technique vs a cement top plate but I see other creative minds at play... 👍 Sweet
We got the idea from Tiny Shiny Home. They use hurricane straps. 🌞
Great job 👍🇦🇺
Thanks! 🌞🏜️
hello to everyone what a great and informative vidéo. lots of hard work, but the project is coming together nicely.
Hello, and thanks for watching! 🙂
Have any rodents tried to burrow up underneath his walls? We have had that happen and said some live traps just to see what it was and it was mice. Might be time for snap traps. This is looking fantastic!❤
We haven't noticed any 🐀. Thanks! ❤️
Very good video and great work on the completion of the bags. I cant wait for the next video and see how Karl makes his roof. What a view all of you have wow. It must be nice having your kids live on the same land. Well done! Happy Easter from Australia xxx
Turn the dig hole into a in ground pool for those hot days..👍🏾
That's a possibility. 🌞 It'll probably fill up with water during the monsoon rains. 🌦️
Great teamwork. Love the progress. Thanks for sharing
Ahhh. He said getting the roof plate to a nice flat plane. Just like the Earth is a flat plane. Love the work and sharing the experience with us. Great job.
😄 Thanks!
🤔
Thanks for the video. Very interesting. It's best that you explain in detail. That's very helpful!
Appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Looking great.
Thanks!
What a feat! Glad you did not give up!!
Yes, we weren't sure if he could or would do it, but he did!
Great work!
Thanks!
Love this man. Thanks for sharing. BTW I seen and helped build homes in this same way. One thing we did in hurricane prone areas. Was to use post hole dingers. Down into the top of the walls about 4 feet. Then put rebar and those Simpson Strong-Tie . Down in them hole. This made it so we could then nail off the top plate to them. Not that you can do this now or do I think you need it. Just making the comment so maybe if someone would like more ways of doing there top plate. Yours ROCKS !! Think yours will out live all of us LOL. Thanks so much for sharing. Been a true blessing. God Bless.. PS I hope it's clear. In NO why what so ever. Am I trying to say you way is not good or it will not work. Hope that clear..
Thanks, no worries! That sounds like a very strong way to attach the roof, and a great way to do it in areas that get tornadoes or hurricanes. The huge amount of mass from an earth structure should hold up very well to extreme wind and weather, but it is very important to attached the roof extremely well. Yes, we think this house will last for a very long time here. 🌞🏜️
I really liked how you used concrete to finish off the walls
Thanks! It should be a lot more solid than cob.
I was wondering about rounded corners and the top plate thanks for sharing.
It's definitely a bit challenging. Thanks for watching!
Nice job! Can't wait to see the roof go up!
Thanks!
Great project and video explanation. On the strapping, it looks like you've placed ratchet straps. Perhaps the strapping used on shipping crates/boxes would be more cost efficient... You could even place more throughout the wall structure.
Thanks! The red straps are some that our son bought inexpensively on line. The thick heavy straps were free, they were holding together the salvaged wood bundles that we used on projects at our place.
Great project! Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks for watching!
Muy interesante construcción
I'm impressed. I'm to old to do this but maybe to have an auger trough or something to help and some lifting devices
Thanks! "Copperline Rattler Ranch", is a pretty cool channel. They are in their 60s and building an earthbag home. They made some kind of lift contraption for the plaster, but I couldn't find the particular video. 🙂
Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho que estão executando 👍👏🇧🇷
Thanks! 😊🏜️
Ooh a fresh video!
in future before the sill plate add one more full course of bag but only a few inches thick so the sill plate can be set into this bag to level it yu could also put a water membrane all around the roof so any water that some how manages to get that far in gets directed out to the edge of the wall ... for those bad days when rain comes from below and such ....
.
yeah if you laid a final light bag course to tamp the sill plate into you could have used a 12 inch wide treated bottom that sat in a tamped out level path abut half as thick as the board .... then laid and pinned like you did BUT bend the rebar over flat between the top board and bottom board ....even direct it inwards so if further tie in is required you can weld to the end of the rebar if needed ... then mortar you bottom plate to the bags and level to the bottom of the top board for a later drip strip to push water out far from the wall or channel it to one end and barrel it ...
.
another way one could affix windows to the bags would be with long nails in the frame .... or better very long spiral nails or screws .... so they bite in ...
Thanks for sharing this. Its really fun to watch.
Thanks! 🙂
This build is so interesting. Thanks for sharing
Hyperadobe is a pretty neat process!
i like the trailer
Thats awesome. He can lift 50 tons. You did a few tons urself, loading the buckets. Think about that!!!!
Cute grandog!
Incredible dedication to the project
Thanks!
In my humble opinion , earthbag buttresses should have been incorporated into your design every eight feet of straight wall length for added stability. After the fact, consider setting cemented and moisture protected in the ground 6x6 or 8x8 post every eight feet tight up against the straight wall for wall stability. You can tie the post into your bond beam. Your work appears neat and level. Congrats!
I know a lot of people add buttresses to hyperadobe, but I think it's somewhat of a carryover from earth bags which are MUCH less stable. Until you see and feel 18 inch walls in person, it's hard to grasp how solid they are. We thought he probably should put in some buttresses, but he decided not to. As we have seen the walls going up, we are pretty confident, that it will be just fine without them. Time will tell. 🙂🏜️
I'm very interested in this kind of build.
May I say all the pushing of that wheelbarrow out of a hole leaves me scratching my head about your back work pulls.
Thanks! It has worked out well
Another great little structure that you are working on this week. Is the water connection outside this structure or just an external hydrant with interior plumbing yet to come? Great seeing your grand dog playing with you. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Peace
Thanks! It's just an outside faucet. Before starting on the walls, they buried and stubbed up the water and drainage lines. We have had some spring winds, but overall the weather has been really nice! Wishing you a wonderful weekend! 😊
I think it would have been wise to have more doors in the structure for future possible extensions. It is difficult to cut doors in existing walls like this I think. Moreover, I think any overture means many tons of dirt less to move.
Yes, another door and a couple more windows would have been nice.
Tiny Shiny Home got a custom tamper one gifted to them. It works extremely well.
Yes, it also looks very heavy! 💪
@@RedandAprilOff-Gridwow. Nasty much.
@@bridgwll That was not nasty Karen, just a simple observation.
My question was answered
❤
Danke :-)

Maybe you can make a nice ornamental pond out of the pit
Yes, not sure what he'll decide to do with it. 🙂
If you were going to rebuild this, would you make sure to finish of the walls with leveling of the top straight away, perhaps as each sides top layer was layed, before the cement/concrete set try to assemble the wood frame and make sure to stomp every side perfectly leveled, before it sets? Or is there a reason why you do it the way you did?
He has to walk on the bag he just filled, so it's not going to be perfectly level. It also would dry out before you can get a full course on to make final adjustments. Leveling everything at the end worked fine.
More windows, putting in lintels, and adding the electric boxes between the layers, are the things we would have done differently.
@@RedandAprilOff-Grid Thank you!
I'm surprised you didn't do a larger bond beam all the way around made with soda cans like a earth ship, then put on the sill plate on top of that......
That sounds cool, but it also sounds like a lot of work. 😄
Well done! Nice to see consistent progress and stable materials. Will Kyle use the pit as subterranean green house?
Thanks! That's what I would do with it, but he doesn't seem interested. Maybe he'll think of something interesting though.
I wonder if you guys could have ran one more course of tubing around the top of the walls and then DIDN'T compact it. Then the 2x6 roof base plate could have sunk into the soft layer much easier. Just an idea.
It would take 2 days to lay another full course. The dirt doesn't stay soft for long and needs to be compacted within a couple of hours. Most people use cob to fill in the gaps, but this seems more stable.
cool, i was waitin' for this video....................thanks
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! Two questions:
1) why not more windows? Isn’t it going to be pretty dark inside?
2) what kind of floor is he planning?
Best regards / MIKE
Thanks! He didn't want to mess with them at the time, but wishes now that he had put more in. We will be putting a window in the door, so that will help some. His floor will probably be something like we did in our house, earthen in living areas and concrete in kitchen and bath.
@@RedandAprilOff-Grid given the window situation, I wonder if it might be worthwhile to do a more complicated roof, that would allow a skylight or two. Looking forward to seeing the continuation.

😊🏜️
Should have borrowed a JCB
I wonder... what would the ambient temperature be like. Would it be similar to being in a basement mostly surrounded by earth? So then you wouldnt have to use much electricity for ac or maybe not even need to use any?
It should stay pretty nice. Probably a bit warm in the summer and a bit cool in the winter, but overall very livable and steady temperatures that don't vary much from day to night.
Where do you get your sand tubes? Inspired by your project!
volmcompanies.com/products/fencing-fabrics/hyper-adobe-tube-netting The bags won't work for sand because it is a mesh type material. The soil needs to be damp and have enough clay to hold together and pack well. Cement can also be added if there isn't enough clay in the soil. Best wishes! 🌞
where can i purchase these bags, this is awesome, wonderful job
volmcompanies.com/products/fencing-fabrics/hyper-adobe-tube-netting 🙂
Got a pool or pond for the pit afterwards
Is there going to be another TH-cam movie when you finish the trusses and interior?
I still haven't done one for our house, but this one would be easier. So maybe. 😄
I dont see any barbed wire in between the courses. I used 2 runs of it between each course and Drove rebar every 5 feet of wall.
Barbed wire is needed with sandbags and supper adobe because the bags are slippery. The hyperadobe bag material is grippy and has holes so it joins together very well, making an almost monolithic structure. These walls are impressively solid!
You already have a pit dug for a swimming pool.
True! 🌞
I started installing 12 round mesh for HyperAdobe yard retaining walls. My setup is not very good. can you provide a link to the “sand bag mesh” 18” round you purchased? Thank you.

Question where do you find land where their is no zoning laws? I know they are doing it in New Mexico and AZ.
How would I go about doing something like this??
Here in Cochise County, land that is zoned RU-4 can get what's called an opt-out permit. Counties in other states have something like it too, but it can be hard to figure out which ones do. Best wishes!
I wonder if a big bag full of assorted zip ties would have been useful?
Will you use the pit as a root cellar? Compost toilet?
Not sure yet what he wants to do with it. 🌞
Q: How can you ensure that these bags not joined by any screw or knot will stick together when any violent storm or quake takes place?
The walls are 18 inches thick, and the bags are a mesh material with small holes, so the layers all sticks together. It's a whole lot of mass, it's not going anywhere.
On a 1-2-3 concrete mixture, you will not get a 5,000 psi strength
He also used a very dry mix, but yeah, maybe not quite that high of a psi.
@@RedandAprilOff-Grid A very dry mixture is even worse. Concrete is a very specific blend of designed potions that gives it the higher psi strengths. You can't just throw a little of this and a little of that, and get a proper psi loading, although people continue to make that mistake. It's like cake, too much salt, too much baking powder, too less of one, and what happens?
if the wall settles wont the concrete be under tension and snap ?
It will likely crack some, but it shouldn't be a problem. It will also be covered in stucco and sealed. The roof structure is also very rigid.
Hello. Did you need permits for these? Were they easily approved?
We have the opt-out permit. It's a permit that is available on some land in Cochise County, Arizona.
