Appreciate a good, hardworking family. We have lived in our house almost 50 years now (and it was 30 years old when we bought it), No vapor barrier. we are fine.
Great to see you guys are getting it done. Hope to build a similar house here in Sweden soon. All the tips are a fantastic help in planning. So glad I found this channel.
You guys are awesome, but Wylee, you shaving has given my wife all kinds of crazy ideas that I too should shave off my beard. Thanks Bro. Your progress is impressive and it's easy to see how your plastering skills are improving with each wall. Looking forward to the next installment.
You are right about old homes and no vapor barrier behind the lath and plaster. I have seen that myself. Good luck to you two. I really enjoy your videos!
i hope you're fine without the moisture barrier ... considering the same for my straw bale building, but haven't done much of the research yet. From what i understand the wool will do a good job of breathing the moisture out of the ceiling and the straw bales with lime/plaster finish will breathe as well. i am for sure going up with the foundation on piers with a moisture barrier on the floor ... living in NE Ohio can be damp in the winter/spring. good luck.
I grew up in a Timber foundation house that was built by a couple for their retirement... The house was so tight that we had to actually remove the vapor barrier because the Ceiling was sagging from the Internal humidity not being able to get out.
Everyone has their own opinion... For traditional houses.😂 But you are building a non-traditional home. Your house will need to breath because you are using a plaster that takes a long time to dry. No vapor barrier just means you are not "air sealed". You won't meet the standards for a passive house without, but hey it just means you need a bigger heat source in the winter and bigger ACs in the summer. Screw the standards and ney sayers... I don't see them building a strawbale home, nor do they have to live in it.
Wish I could have borrowed you my rock lift to use. My back was hurting just watching you hang without a lift! 😥

oh wow, it's reassuring hearing everyone's personal experience with/without vapor barriers. thank you
did you consider installing a ventilation system instead?
Great music who is it?beautiful weather in sask too
This looks so amazing! Can you recommend some sources to learn more about how to do this? Thanks.
what exactly do you want to learn more about?
How the building envelope works. Would like yo do this in a humid area in the south and a little scared because black mold can be a real problem.
The straw looks real green.
yea it was, still is a little unfortunately
Where do yall live that it gets that cold?
north Dakota
What kind of insulation did you use?
sheep's wool! check out our previous videos on the installation of that if you're interested!
