Just prepare place by yourself and after nice house is done in rural, then family will fall in love with the feeling of being in natural house and nature :)
I live in rural area, but nobody wants to help me, not even my mom. They think lowly of the material. It’s better if you have people to work with. I guess it makes no difference if your family’s there or not, people have to want to make it.
I love that he advises to use sand from the side of the road, because that's something I would do. When I see rocks laying about, I think "foundation", when I see pallet wood destine for trash, I think "larsen truss for the house. I mean, a person can literally build a house for free 😁😁😁
yea, but in USA, all usable land either owned by Gov't, large corporations or the super wealthy. you can buy land, but then you pay yearly taxes to use that land.
I will soon be setting up a moneyless community project in Borneo where the concept is to use all free building materials be it recycled or from the surroundings.

We would invite volunteers from everywhere. Namaste

I’ve seen many cob building videos as I am going to attempt to make a chicken coop out of cob and this is the best explanation I’ve seen so far. Thank you for sharing your journey with the best of us :)
Hi Jon, I recently quit my job and moving to a farm house. Was planning to build a cob house over a year. Seeing ur 10hr Adobe build I m awestruck 🤩. You really make a lot of lives easier. Thank u !!!!
Hello John thank you so so so much this is probably one of the best building videos that I've watched so far.. I hope it had more details such as how the foundation and roof are made. We would also love to see the final product. looking forward to many videos like this. Thank you so much. God bless.
Nice jon continue to educate people By using videos . Your not only give us knowledge but you taught us how you save the planet the way you did. When entire people living in this planet learned this way how self sufficient then its time to kick the ass of politicians
this is the best house from nature for a simple life. i'm wanting to have like this in the future i need more info in making like this..this is a life saving to those who have not enough budget to build a modern house.thanks for sharing i keep following your videos.
Thanks Jon, really enjoyed your videos. Swadeekap 🙏🏼 Its nice of you to share these basic and practical house building techniques. Am a professional Architect from Malaysia🇲🇾
Amazing video, with very practical, clear and master craft description from an obvious mater carpenter with very good experience. Very helpful for a project i am thinking of introducing' in the Philippines... From San Diego , California USA Thank you so much.
Thankyou friend I'm going to Philippines Soon with all Australian hardware and goods for self-sufficient off-grid stuff prepared for Our small survival farm hahleluyah
how nice ... you have discovered adobe construction .... lots of different styles but always the same ancient principle of adobe bricks ... mud bricks made from mud and straw
Hello Jon, been a fan for very long. I like the fact that your built on materials that are around us. My question is, if only two people will work on this, how many man-hours? How many days for two people to finish it. Have you tried doing that?
My first house is about 39 square meters I worked alone 2 hours per day .It took 3 months to finish the house if 2 people the same size of the house may be about 3 weeks.
Hello jon, it was not shown in the video how you attached the beams to the earth-wall. How did you do it? So that the roof will not fly in a tropical storm.
terracotta... terra =earth cotta = cooked (baked, fired) Bricks and ceramics are "terracotta"... what you have is clay with which to make terracotta. If your clay is red, then more than likely the iron content will be rather high. Most clay turn red when fired => that is why bricks are red(dish).
Hi I am watching from Batanes, Philippines.. the instruction is detail and easy to follow. May i ask though how is the strength of the mud brix typhoons of 250km per strength? Thank you veey much.
Hi Jon, Just recently found your channel, and I am amazed! I do have a question on adobe building in Southeast-Asia: how to you ensure that the bricks are weather-resistent? And do bugs and other critters (termites, etc.) not burrow into the adobe and damage the walls?
Thank you so much for the video!!! And all your other videos! You are an inspiration! I do have a question... can I use dried citronella grass or dried elephant grass instead of straw for the fiber of the cob? Thank you! 😊😊🙏
Try adding adding Hydrated lime to mortar for bricks and paint for parging, the lime will help with cracking from movement or sag also to prevent water penetration ..
I love all this I hope to study with you Mr Jandai, thanks from Sicily, It could be a pleasure to host your activities here inthe center of the Mediterrean Sea
Sawatdee khrap Pi Jo, please do a video for floor and foundations for Adobe building or straw bale building. How deep concrete needs to be? What other considerations? Other options?
You have good mud in Thailand for bricks and you don't need to dig under top doing soil in most places. It is very sticky. I remember what it is like in Korat
What about water damage ?. Do u have to take care to prevent prolonged drenching of the walls. I can imagine ur region being very rainy tropical as well. These alternative building got me concerned about this
We have roof cover the wall. If the rain hit the wall the clay paint help to protect the wall. We don't have problem with the rain in the 20 years of our experiences.
Thank you for this wonderful building technique, can I use this mix on brick and cement wall for Plastering. Will the surface be good for waterproofing, will there be cracks on the surface if we do plastering on brick and cement wall.
You can use this mix to plaster earthen wall cement wall dry wall even wooden wall . The surface will not good for waterproofing. We use paint to help with waterproofing.
@@JonJandaiLifeisEasy thank you. my grandparents land is neglected but is filled with fruit trees primarily mango. Lots of leaves in the ground, I think I can use that to build something. Your comment gives me confidence!
Bring 12 liters of water to a boil then mix half a kilo of tapioca starch with 1-3 liters of water with room temperature . Pure the mixture in the hot water stir fast in a few minute it turn to translucent that is good to use.
Adobe is the fastest way to build and cheap. Cob can be the strongest but adobe can last more than 100 years depend on how we take care of the building.
I want to know how to make the curb for the monolithic slab! lol. so hard to find instructional video on that! and reading it there is a lot of terms that I don't understand.
concrete help to protect the humidity on the ground you can build it with out concrete if your place has low humidity. Note: the humidity at Thailand is around 60-80% a day during raining season
@exploring perspectives Jon Jandai alway said the best way to learn to build a earthern building is by do it yourself. Bricks is a building block of it, So you might wanna try to make them first. There is no definite recepies for this because each different places has a differents soil composition and different air humidity. So just listen what he say in this video and you can start make some bricks. Just do it !!
The inside color we use tapioca starch as glue sometime we use wheat flour or rice flour but tapioca is cheaper easier. The outside paint we use lime instead of glue.
Jolna I completed the foundation of my house by using cement brick and stones it's a 2 bed room sitting kitchen and toilet ik need a clarification of the abode bricks I have the ants humps ikmmlplaanikng to use if for brick making but it seems there is too much sand
If it is too much sand it will be crumble very easy. Lift the dry brick up to your head level and throw the brick to the concrete floor. Use the corner of the brick hit the floor if the whole brick crumble that is not good to use . If it break into big pieces it is ok to use.
Boil 12 liters of water. when the water boiling mix half a kilo of tapioca in normal water then pour into the boiling water . Mix very fast . When it turn clear color that is good .
Now when you say 800* is that baht or USD since you seem to favor the US dollar? Last time i checked the currency is baht not USD. And most of these are for foreign people not your own people since you tube is a western company in the US
Architect here, very impressed by the way you merge old and new materials!
I wish my whole family would see things this way, so we can all move to rural area and live / work in this way.
I know right. No one wants to work together

Does the soil type also matter or can you use any type of soil?

Hi jon. Could you show us how you attached the beams to the wall? How did you bury those rebars in the adobe wall?

This kind of build will be good for hot climates, stays cool on the inside? And good for moisture control? New sub.

Sun dried bricks Vs Fire baked bricks which is better?
Thank you for the great video!
Brilliantly done
Hi Jon can we use stone lime foundation instead of concrete foundation?
Straw bale would be much better considering the climate. You can use dehumidifier to make it comfortable
Thanks for the video. I learned a lot.

Looking for a builder to build my house this way... In the Philippines...
Good day! Is human hair possible to use as substitute to straw?
In principle yes. Ideally with a coarse fibre like hay / paddy husk
I very much appreciate you making the videos and showing how to make a house
It is good i like it
What kind of glue did you use. The name please
Thank you for video
which is faster, economical, stronger & aesthetic - cob vs earth bag vs adobe earth
Adobe is the fastest way to build and cheap. Cob can be the strongest but adobe can last more than 100 years depend on how we take care of the building.

I need someone to lead a workshop!
thank you so much for sharing this
We can use straw bales to make roof above brother? by used mud or cement cover the out layer.
How can we make the glue
I love you grandpa
Hey Jon can you send me description of the roof the steps to finish the house and one more what put at the base thanks a lot i waiting for your answer
In how cold climate can this be used as a livable house?
Dear sir need some help in getting information of first floor of this video
Any advise for make this house alone
Or just 2 men
Hi Jon jondai
Can't we build the house without concrete foundation ?
Clarify that please
