Groundwork Episode 3 - Building with Straw Bale

- It seems counterintuitive that a framework packed with straw bales could create such a sturdy home. In fact, the straw acts as a natural vapour permeable insulation that allows these buildings to breathe.

These videos let me know there are people out there who still care about our beautiful planet. A big thanks to all of you who do.
Gotta say, growing up kids used to be teased about coming from huts and grass homes, and it was mocked as being typically poor and black. Seeing how its being embraced in this day and age, is quite a bittersweet feeling, with the tongue cringing at nostalgia and its seemingly forgotten origin.
"I just didn't want to build another toxic box."
Exactly! This is why I want to build and live in a natural, handbuilt house. Plus the low carbon footprint and the creative, nurturing environment you can create for yourself and your family. People have been building with earth for thousands of years, all over the world, for a reason.
Watch primitive life chenals. It might give you great ideas for your interior wall designs.
Thank you for being friendly to the our involvement💓 I like to make this kind of home in my property in México. One day in the near future. When I was 14 yrs old, I visited my 1st cousin and she was living in an Adobe house, at the time I thought my cousin is so poor they had to build a house out of mud and straw! Little that I know is one of best type of houses you can build! Since I known of Cop houses; that's the only type of house I will have now🐝🐝🐝
I love this!!!
I’m working with the homeless and have been racking my brain on dwellings and finances … I believe this may be the solution! At least for some.
I’ve just put the word out so we’ll see who many would be up for the adventure and physical task. The next step is funding!
Thank you … and may YHWH bless you!
very inspirational way to start my day...thank you.
Natural materials is health and best for home building, especially when one is enclosed at night breathing in non-toxic materilas.
Information free zone
Love it. That's where I'm going too. You guys are really professional. Thanks for offering a realistic perspective.
This thing already had done in India 200 hundreds year ago... Thanks for you people preserve this culture... & value
My house and my shed were built like this. I wish I saw this 6 years ago and just do it myself. The only thing I would have had to fix is the roof and foundation. Darn. But now I can do something about my ugly fence and make it in to an art work project
Beautiful video!
Well done you guys and gals 👍 Like building that fort when you were younger 😎
if your here for "how to/tips"this is a starter campaign/fund me style video of why to and peoples feelings of cob/hay build homes.
Yeah, strangely, I thought it might contain information on "groundwork" :(
thank you. saved me a few minutes at least
You're such a gem for this
Any links for a good technical how-to?
I don't know you checked out it or not that OM design on the wall... My god... I was just thinking that ohh if i was there when my grand parents made our village house than what it did look like... But after this OM... No difference between West and East in my experience... Holy cow
Mud house r very common in Indian villages, so being an Indian, I welcome ur concept 🔛🙏
I just removed our mud house back to earth to build new house out of straw.i did as much as I could but ceiling were coming down I wish I'd had money for cedar shingles.that kept it for 80 years
Вы молодцы!!!! Так держать, строить такие дома и жить в них благоприятно аж душа радуется, думаю тоже строить дом из соломы
Love the mood the video gives ..enjoying that HDR is not present
I love the concept- however also the fact that they are well connected with friends to save $ on the materials + land etc....today for a regular couple I feel it would be much harder to afford such a concept. Also seeing the houses selling for half a million is discouraging as the material I thought was meant to be cheaper thus making the house affordable to resell for the market, but seems everyone capitalizes. Would love to see a more positive , inspiring, realistic model for everyday folks trying to set this way of life. Good on these people tho that they are trying with their money to make a more eco model, but still.....luck / connections / money is on these folks side.
Estoy mavillada de ver como mi hijo proteje el medio ambiente con la construccion de viviendas confortables y asequibles .....enhorabuena
Keep up the good work 🙏❤️
Excellent❤
Guys your title is misleading. It doesn't show you how to build with straw bale. You really need to change the title.
Ребята вы молодцы.Я ещё финансово не готов .Но попробую повторить ваш подвиг.
great video ,,,,,
Was gonna goto Tuscon in spring but 1000.00 n flying with Mansory mask for 10 hours.im gonna do Barbara Jones course
🙏🙏
Does anyone know what these people use as a foundation for their houses?
I noticed at 7:44 there is a view of the ICF that was used in this project. I am not against what they are doing, but you could have mentioned that you also used ICF. In other words, "Insulated Concrete Forms" So it is NOT all "Straw Bale". Just keep things honest is my point. Regardless, nice build.
Blessings
Well spotted. I wonder if the ICF was foundational only due to code.
Can you build with hay instead of straw?
no. hey is living and your house will spring up like a chia pet. always straw
@@svetlanikolova7673 lol “chia pet” that made me laugh. Great visual :p
They should set up a straw house liaison to make it easier to setup
Hey! I'm jacques marmen( in the video ) I'm currently available to consult remotely or onsite for strawbale and other natural wall systems, if you are looking for assistance in your process of building
👍
Seems to be opposite of SIPs
I have a big bad wolf in my neighborhood. This seems unsafe.
it seems earthquake regulations are high. When it comes to straw, what about fire regulations?
Strawbale construction has been fire tested, and it does very well. If covered with an earthen plaster it's even better of course.
clay doesnt burn well straw is hard to get started for burning
Oh I want so bad to do this within the next few months. I need help. I am now looking for unrestricted land in US.
Just bought unrestricted land. I'm ready for this amazing adventure. Good luck to you. Check out Missouri and Tennessee rural areas, limited restrictions if any.
What are the bars between bales? Appears to be conduit.
It's common to use Bamboo both sides of the wall through tied. It's very strong and flexible.
Will it stand in an earthquake?
What about goats? Is it goat resistant?!
The thick layer of about 3-5" of clay plaster then covered with lime plaster make the bales fully protected by the equivalent of cement or stone facade
Living homes, thriving people, dead homes, dying society...
I have the sudden urge to take off all my clothes, start a cult, and eat a bowl of granola.
I had the same feelings, plus I wanted to go to UFO conventions.
and... what about mice and others?
they dont get in you seal it
Hey- it is important to manage your storage of bales before installation to prevent them from becoming rodent habitat when they are still our in the open. However once the bales are sealed with plaster rats will quickly want to tunnel out as they need an exit and point of entry to their nests . Once sealed with full plaster or sheathing the bales are very well protected from intrusion.
Hey editor... please show more home footage than people talkng same things.
It's REALLY annoying when people try to spiritualize/politicize their preference for natural building. Just shut up and tell me how you did it. Jeez.
the story is amazing...the concept is amazing but the music...Someone die??? So depressing and annoying...thanks.
Music is fine.i watch someone build today.it was all keyboards n wires drums sounded like a sci Fi movie.this you can hear the boices
Long on rhetoric and short on info to do it yourself. Not looking for the eco- indoctrination and feelings.
It's pretty but, this is not informative.
too much hippie propaganda and not enough building instructions.
It's nothing got to do with hippie!
Least it's not lefttve idea to save the planet when the world will outlive humans.to me that's hippie thinking
Go to Barbara Jones then to learn.it s an intensive instruction
