Hello. I started my journey going off grid and hired a contractor that turned into a pro con and discovered that the entire valley too. I don't want to say that I'm desperate because they stole everything. How? Long story short, it lead me to this video...air create. I have no building skills because I'm 5'2, 80 lbs (lost 20 lbs) escapee of a teacher lifestyle from city. I am learning to build and putting saw blade in saw in right direction that folks take for granted. I bought second hand tools for $100 and some were stolen out of my car. But I was able to build few things. I need help with building my retired home using air create. Any advice?
I wish i could go and have part of your worksop ! It would be amazing to be able to convey all of your concepts to the people in my region in Baja Mexico and enpower them to get off the crap the sistem puts over the families making them to set aside the things that really matter in a society, love , gratitude and self-confidence
We love Baja and will be building a small home. I will likely have to do it my self because we have found most people in our area are not open to new building concepts. They do it the way they do it...right or wrong, they won't change.
Good to know, we just moved to the Philippines and are planning to build a house on our land. Every contractor we have spoken to is dead set in using hollow block or cinder blocks which is like being in an oven. I will be getting the online course!
Obviously not. This is a classic exchange of knowledge for your labor. I.e. build shit on my property for me and I will give you trade knowledge. Most of what this guy teaches can be found in youtube videos though. If you're healthy and don't mind getting dirty it might be useful to save time from watching and experimenting with hundreds of different approaches. Personally I like learning on my own and failing. The construction quality on these off grid homes don't look very appealing to me either (and I love off grid homes). Maybe I'm wrong though. I'd have to see them in person.

i bought 5 acres in oklahoma. The land that I bought is super wet. I have a lot of creeks Crossing this property but it's absolutely gorgeous. I would love to build some small structures here and there over the 5 acres. There are so many beautiful sights. But I'm in tornado country so I'm not sure what type of structures I should be building. I am thinking about monolithic domes. What are your thoughts
Hello, I am from a country that usually gets to deal with cyclonic condition. This means similar to a Tornado, it also comes with wind gust ranging 60kmh up to above 250 kmh. The safest option from storm wind is concrete building with good Architecture + flat concrete roof. Doors & windows can be suggested by the manufacture to resist strong wind gust with additional outdoor hard panels on hinges to closed in case of occurence. Hope the best for you.
@jjw5165 yes the structures would have to be off the ground. My little mobile home is feet up. I'm just outside of the fema flood plain. Buy this house is a 2007 and is still holding up. 🤞
Hurricanes are a different level of threat on a house. Domes work great against the wind. The weak points will be windows (gonna need some type of hatch to secure over the glass) and drainage (gotta have a place where your water can go during that flooding). Get those 2 things and domes will be just fine imho.
Any dome will do great against Wind. That s the power of geometry. Aircrete dômes have proven their worth AS LONG AS THE CONCRETE IS PROPERLY DONE. Density of foam and load in cement are key factors.
thanks for another great video, explaining aircrete. can aircrete be used in the tropical Philippines? as the normal construction materials are concrete & hollow-block-bricks.
It can be used anywhere you want an insulating structure. Blocks with air gaps do not insulate as well because of the size of the air gap allowing air to move freely convecting heat from one side to another. Just compare your options and choose the best fit.
That video is one year old. Just stumbled across it. Aircrete. Well. I moved to Panama in 2020 with the idea to do a dome house with aircrete. Until. Right. Until I got ready and talked to the municipality about it. “No building permit for this aircrete. Use local products or bring us documents, lab results that this aircrete is safe to use in Panama…” I still don’t have $50,000 to get all this tests and documents. Sorry. I am using concrete blocks like all Panamanians. - But I am at the same “mental” level like you said. Out of the rat race. When I move into my 2 level house next year - it’s paid for it and I did build it. No more rent or mortgage. It gives you a peace of mind that you know that. - But I see that you still building square houses! How boring.🥱 I on the other hand build a circular house (30ft diameter) Locals and supply stores call it already “Castillo” (Castle) . Even the delivery papers have as address: Calle de Castillo - because it is a new area with no street names. I just figured that out 4 months ago when I got a delivery and had to sign. Address: Calle de Castillo 😂
M'kay. Why sell everything? And how? To whom? I have 20 violins. Renaissance paintings. House. Cars. Cellos. Grand piano. I can't possibly sell that. Maybe one at a time. And much is a cultural heritage, I am like a housekeeper rather than owner. Can't sell, must watch. Others are all busy I don't know what with, I am not well informed.
Minimalism and being debt free is great, but I'm not a fan of aircrete, it's not easy to make, and it's not much cheaper than using more traditional materials. We built a 1,200 square foot house in one year for $60,000. It's passive, and off grid.
@@johnadams3800 Yes we did and I'm so glad we didn't use it for our house. Exterior insulation is the way to go, our house is heated completely passively from the sun. We built a 2 foot tall base wall out of aircrete around our garden for practice. Aircrete is pretty finicky and wasn't working well with the extreme temperatures we have here in the desert.
@Red & April Off-Grid did you use drexel or similar foaming agent? How thick was the wall? I'm contemplating making an aircrete home, so curious about others experiences with it. I'm offgrid for 11 years now up here in maine and built my house and system already, conventional stick frame, but now I'm ready to try another style of building with less maintenence really.
@@johnadams3800 I went to his workshop 2 years ago. Highly recommend! Most people think they know how to build with aircrete because of what they see off of the internet, but I have yet to see anyone do it right. The trick is to seal the aircrete in with a cement mortar mix. The wall then becomes hard as rock. Everyone leaves the aircrete exposed and you can break pieces off of it. You have to wrap it with a material (we used a roofing material at the aircrete class) then put a cement mud mixture to cover the material (almost like stuccoing a house)

and if you can build it, you can also fix it when it breaks and modify it as needed! Yep, I get it!
I built my home. I was too poor for bank loans. Made from waste. It's 33 years old. No contractor yet.
What a sincere message, appreciate it
This may be the best video I've ever seen on YT. Great nuggets of information, wisdom and humor. Thank you sir 👍
You might want to edit the headline to correct the misspelling for "ruined."
LOL, the thumbnail is hilarious!
I've heard that aircrete is difficult to get consistency in the mix, sometimes its too brittle, sometimes it collapses in on itself.
as of 2024, new environmental restrictions on Portland cement to be enacted by 06/2024, will make this search for the perfect aircrete formula, impossible, until the product debounces again.
@@normbograhamare you saying they have changed their formula so now 9/2024 that aircrete can't be made now?

That workshop sound so good. Have you looked into getting a grant to empower local communities with this knowledge ?
Why not be up front about the cost of the workshop? It makes it hard to trust you
OMG! I FEEL THIS! I’m about to do this!

Where, when, how much? Did I miss something? The link didn't work.
Simply amazing 🙌🙏
Have you had people attend your Workshops from New Zealand?
Can aircrete be used in a damp rainy climate?
Same as any house. Just have to pour it without rain then cover it. After 8 hours rain only makes it stronger
Good to know, we just moved to the Philippines and are planning to build a house on our land. Every contractor we have spoken to is dead set in using hollow block or cinder blocks which is like being in an oven. I will be getting the online course!
Does this work in the North Canada where it is cold and humid?
Time shares are not normal, and not everyone has a time share. Time shares are the most stupid thing on which to spend money.
Can i take my aircrete house with me after the course? Afterall, i paid and worked for it
Obviously not. This is a classic exchange of knowledge for your labor. I.e. build shit on my property for me and I will give you trade knowledge.

Iam glad that was sarcasm, was a bit puzzled by the title.
Good luck with this in most county's in Colorado you can't even buy a 40 ft storage container with our a permit .need foundation etc.

Also consider flood risk do you need piles? You can easily build flat roofs strong enough to live on regularly.

Why not dome's?
