They don't do psi tests or anything. They just wing it and hope it works out. You can get away with a lot more in the tropics so they don't care. That house would be gone in a few years in northern climates.
So beautiful 😍! While I’m watching this video my heart started to desire to have the same concept of the house and the same procedure of construction. Thanks a lot Jon for sharing this wonderful and beautiful ideas. Thanks for the couple also to allow you share this.
I wish to visit Punpun one day. I'm sorry to ask a question out content. How much in USA dorlla do you get your alcohol for biodiesel, so that I could one day import some for my personal use ? I'm a leaner and admirer of your content from Ghana. God bless for the knowledge shared. Thanks.
Very beautiful. Love the design and layout of the home. Many years ago I learned about earthen homes and I hope to start on mine next year. Thank you for sharing.❤
amazing! Thank you for the video! I am willing to build my earthbag house soon... can you tell us hoe much a house like this cost? How much dose this house costed?.... 20-30-50k?....
@@JonJandaiLifeisEasy thank you so much for telling us! We apreciate your fast reply and enjoy your channel a lot! thank you for showing people that life is easy when we do the right things.
You know you live in an area with a lot of poisonous spiders when your home construction material choices take spiders and their webs into consideration 5:14
Jon voice and attitude are so calm, relaxing , peaceful. Men can build houses. How about women? How can women sustain their life by living an easy life like Jon does? Please teach us Jon. Thank you.
I love this house and the setting! The way of thinking of life you share is wonderful! Thank you. These folks are not suffering for need of a home. I saw your video on poverty. I love your philosophy.
hey jon i was wondering if youd recommend building a earthen home in a climate where it rains a whole lot. like more than 6 months a years we have frequent heavy rains. i want an earthen home but have begun building a wood home for fear of the weather here destroying my earthen home. the sadest part is we have the perfect soil in the area where i live for making brick or doing a straw bail cob home. any recommendations you could offer would help. thanks knottie-lyfe
I tot foreigner are not allowed to buy land in Thailand. unless eg. a man married a Thai wife and uses her name to buy the land? then build a house n etc...love to hear more.
Love it 😃 my concrete floor and steel frame is done now and I will use either steel sheets or vivaboard as temporary walls until I have enough earth blocks made to replace them. Considering wattle and daib walls too😃 can’t wait to have a semi natural home. In Koh Samui 😀
Sir Jon. I would like to ask you three questions: - Are there any special authorizations for earthen construction in Thailand? - What sanitation system do you use? Toilet with running water or dry toilet? In the first case, how is the water in the toilets and the kitchen cleaned? - In connection with this video and your video on family, projects like yours are often carried out by mixed couples, one of whom is indigenous. Is this cultural fact a factor favoring the success of such projects, in your opinion?
1 We have law about building like most of the countries but outside of cities we don't have enough official to check as long as we don't change into resort or hotel we have no problem.2 we have flushed toilet. We use water from the pond next to the house . We swim we fish and pump to our filter system drink and use for everything in the house. 3 We live as a community about 20 people live together. We have people from many countries live together many of them married so we are mixed culture .
Sir Jon, thank you very much for your interest and constructive responses. In Morocco, in principle, there is no obstacle to build with earth in an area of less than one hectare unless the construction material includes concrete. From one hectare, you need an authorization to build using concrete. But this authorization depends on the agricultural zones. To dig a well, you need a permit except in certain regions that I visited recently where I was surprised to learn that the authorities were turning a blind eye. For the toilets, septic tanks are used. When she learned that I was looking to build in earth on my plot, my wife's aunt offered to lend me a room, instead, in her house in the village, while waiting to get used to life in the countryside and have a better idea on the daily life of a farmer. I think I will take the offer and try to adapt gradually. In this area, still dominates conventional agriculture, it will not be easy to experiment with another mode of agriculture. The village community helps each other for a number of projects anyway: digging a common well, restoring the mosque, for example. One must be able to convince them of other projects. In addition, I should lead two parallel lives, because my wife is not really excited about the project. But she doesn't discourage me. Thanks again. Your videos do us a great benefit. God save you and your family.
If you wanted to make an ultra modern-style cob house, with straight lines, very large picture windows and sliding glass doors, would it be possible to use a steel frame?
The first floor is simple polished concreate floor but the second floor is cement board we call viva board here .It was made from cement and sawdust. and paint on top of the board.
@@JonJandaiLifeisEasy is there any drawing for this house I’m so inspired I want calculate the cost I want to build one for my extended family I have bought about 150 acres,
Sir, my land can not hold water, but I want this type of pond. Should I put concrete? And if I do can the pond be good for fish? thanks for the good work.
Concrete doesn't last very long. It will crack in a few year. Plastic liner is cheaper and easier and last a little longer. You can have fish in concrete pond but you need to feed them but with no concrete the earthen floor is easy for grass and other lives to grow.

@@jamesofallthings3684 That's why more people migrates down south near to the equator, weather up in the northern hemisphere is shit

Thank you for the video!
I am willing to build my earthbag house soon...

How much dose this house costed?.... 20-30-50k?....
The material cost is about 18,000 us dollars. The labor cost can be about 10,000 us dollars but when we help with our labor the cost will be cheaper.
@@JonJandaiLifeisEasy thank you so much for telling us!

How do u install cabinets on a mud brick wall?
That is really nice! I am really interested in the procedures and mixture of making the bricks. Must there be clay?

Beautiful house Nice video earthen house eco roof Thanks you for sharing 🙏
I tot foreigner are not allowed to buy land in Thailand. unless eg. a man married a Thai wife and uses her name to buy the land? then build a house n etc...love to hear more.
Roof is made of recycled **??? Boxes? Somebody could please help will be great.
Recycle milk boxes . They use a lot of milk boxes fruit juice boxes to make roof and many thing. It is factory work . We can't do it by ourselves.
@@JonJandaiLifeisEasythat's fine. thank you for the details.
Love it 😃 my concrete floor and steel frame is done now and I will use either steel sheets or vivaboard as temporary walls until I have enough earth blocks made to replace them. Considering wattle and daib walls too😃 can’t wait to have a semi natural home. In Koh Samui 😀
You should attach a netting over the kitchen island area where kids can lay down or you can relax kinda like a hammock. Just for the fun of it.
Thanks for the informative video.What material is used for the plaster?
We use clay and sand for plaster.
How do you make floor?
Very nice
May I ask how much the cost per sqm is in USD? Thank you
Thank you for sharing Jon. Such a beautiful house. And I like what you said: Yao has the special ability to make everything fun. So true :)
Hope to host your family soon
Who is Yao?
What a wonderful house.. I wish to have a party and enjoying some beers there.. 👍🏻👍🏻😋🍻🍻🍺
But safety is zero because all door and windows are glass
Who is Yao? She is the wife of Nat? Who is Nat? Jon's son?
Isn’t the metal roof to heavy for the earthen walls to hold up? or is there a metal frame of the house surrounded by earthen walls?
The earthen wall can carry weight more than 10 times of normal building.
How is the sound in that metal roof during rains?

Beautiful house! You can see it was built for the climate it sits in.
Foreign money 🏠💵
If you wanted to make an ultra modern-style cob house, with straight lines, very large picture windows and sliding glass doors, would it be possible to use a steel frame?
It is possible to use steel frame or wood. It is depend on the design too.
@@JonJandaiLifeisEasy thank you! Is there someone in Thailand who specializes in this? possibly for a job in CNX
If someone has an earthen house, how long does it last? is it warmer in winter than cemented?
Do walls start to smell bad after time?
Grandfather's house is ove 150 years old. No smells, depending on the thickness of the walls cooler in summer than winter.
@@Oomzilla nice! thanks
Any idea of the price/cost of the completed house?
the cost is cheaper than normal house about 3 times at least.
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
