20K straw bale house from start to finish 

Where are you located? I would really like to see how it looks ✌

@@klerobi1 planning on building a greenhouse with straw and would love to know what that red mixer is @10:00

@@jeffreyjadav9493 if you buy clay plaster which is in powder, you can mix it in an ordinary mixer. However, if you have natural clay that you dug out of the ground, then you need an upright mixer. Something like that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4HNbvWHvaww.html Only in such a mixer can you mix natural clay

I hope you will put it on RU-vid. I’d love to see.

Where did you build your home? I'm thinking about doing it in ohio

WTF is so fantastic on this "house"? Is the most ugly and most expensive bales "house" i ever saw. Is just a box with a roof...and this guy says it costs 20k . Ofc.. Idiots build houses too.. that doesn't mean we have to like it.

the people complaining about the costs are just morons.. sry with common sense you can just get a list of materials, work ( even friends and family are not free unless you are a shitty person) that would add up to around 20k..

@@gattonpc yeah and there are people who are less morons who can use common sense to find out why 20k is not completely out of this world.. just make a list of what you see in the video and look up what the bare minimum costs.. and do not start on "uhh but the bales are so cheap" ... LOOK AT EVERYTHING including the workers ( even if they are friends and family) and do not forget to add all the little parts, like screws, nails, buckets, tools... damn ever gone to a hardware store, even this small stuff will add up quickly.... but hey you start building on your house and than come back after you tried this build with just 5k and failed... miserably..

ever heard of The Three Little Pigs??

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Resilient walls on Earthquakes too! I would have brought the foundation piers up just a bit higher to allow for water not to impact the wood. If you have termites a copper metal and skirted barrier around the lower portion of the wood piers would be good. I think it also improves the look. Back in the day, old adobe homes had a roof layered with micaceous clay. Acted both as a seal and a primitive but effective radiant barrier. Do like this very much including the wall plaster mixing crew!

wauh so how much does it expend on a heat wave? ure so genius

@@leovieyra3723 if the roof is done with venting low side to ridge is perfectly legal and works naturally (hot air rises). You can use radiant barrier foil stapled to the underside of the roof rafters (need a dead air space for reradiation of incoming solar radiation back thru the roof) The radiant barrier thus slows the ceiling insulation from heating by thermal convection. As such, if the ceiling runs at a temperature less than your body temp, you will feel cool. Another technique for summer airflow is buried underground cooling tubes going to a low point register entry on your floor. Then, to get flow you run a couple of registers high on the opposite wall. Figuring some of this out can be rule of thumb but an architect in passive and active solar heating and cooling can finalize the concept.

I'm glad you like it!

Adobe and Straw bale are some of the least energy intensive ways of doing building. They also, if designed correctly for passive solar gain in winter and passive cooling in summer are a long term virtually low to no annual fossil fuels input homes. A very small wood stove would provide any supplemental needed

@@klerobi1 Thank you so much! We need much more sutainable builds like this. It's time to make a better world and to save the life on this planet for next generations.

How did it turn out? I live in the Netherlands, and would love to see/hear about projects like these in Europe.

Hi base camp. As you are off grid builder what kind of foundation or base plate do you practice. I want to build 4 little houses now but i wonder how do to make simple and natural. Thank you. Daniel

Daniel Beaufils Hi Daniel Need to know where you are building the the weather conditions. If you go to my channel you will see things like my arched cabin builds. There it is on post we are at 4000’ snow and gets below O. There is r-60 in the floor So tell me the weather where are Are they for year around living On or off grid Plumed or dry cabins Be glad to help you in anyway I can Eric

@@klerobi1 Are you located in Slovenia now? I am thinking about coming to Maribor and looking for someone to show me around.

@@maverickgood5204 sorry, I live in Tenerife, Spain. What are you interested in? What would you like to see? How old are you? I can find someone

@@klerobi1 Oh :) I'm interested in learning a few things. Natural building with hemp/adobe. If there's a project around or close by that city that would be good. Landscaping. I'm into learning about the various plants, bushes, trees and soil maintenance. I know there are a few good tree nurseries in the area. Lastly, if I like the area and stay longer than the winter then I Will probably buy some land somewhere in the area I can build a natural home. I'm kind of into the tiny home thing at the moment. i think 25=35 sqm is about right. I have two australian shepherd's so will first need to find a place to stay there too. Staying at a farm that does organic growing would be great if that was possible. Thanks.

@@klerobi1 I'm over 50.

👍🙂

Thank you very much!

More than 1500 hours of work, I spent € 1920 only on fuel during construction......................✌

@@klerobi1 Still.. Where are those 20.000 Euros spent at the end..it still doesn't ad's up.. can you be more explicit? You've calculate your own work hours? It is not your house? Did you've pay'd yourself working on your own house? I really do not get it!?

@@gattonpc I do not see your problem. As some common sense should tell you that some bales alone do not make a house.. plumbing( pipes, fittings, water taps etc) , electrics (breaker box, cables, sockets, circuit breakers, etc. ), workers ( certified electrician, plumber and even if they are friends and family), wood (framing and panels), flooring materials, structural engineer (maybe not in this case), approvals (maybe not in this case ), tools and small materials, machine rents, fuel ( transportation+ machines (generator etc)), kitchen+ bathroom, heating, windows and doors, etc.. I can easily see a lot of positions that would would make a couple of grand.. and added you will get to 20k very easily... just for electrics alone you will need a couple of thousand, not to mention kitchen and bathroom.. then you need heating.. damn how can you not see that if you ad up everything you can get to 20k easy.. also 1500h and so many pictures showing groups of people helping, even if they are only friends and family, would you let them work entirely for free? ( no food, no money for transportation and work?)... just do not build a house if you think that´s ok..

@@philxdev bless your common sense!

@@philxdev people have done better with the same amount of money? Like how long is this house going to even really last? It’s made out of fucking hay

Thank you very much!

Yes, everything. It took about one year

For ever! Only the roof and foundation must be ok, to prevent moisture. Maintenance like any house. The oldest house of straw is in the USA has more than 200 years.

if you do not see a problem, there generally is none.. but if you get some spots you can fix them.. the most important thing is, that the straw is completely and perfectly enclosed by the clay, and it helps to have more overhang on the roof to keep the clay wall dry, also some mineral plaster on the outside can help with that in addition to the roof^^.. keeping the inside less moist with good ventilation also helps.. so a cross heat exchange does help

Normally, the 2 biggest things which prevents a house from lasting 100 years or more is poor foundation design or water leaks.

With one radiator

@@klerobi1 i was gonna say with a candle haha

I would be happy to purchase plans.

Size is 5m x 10m ✌

How? What were your materials?

@@kricketkitty Stone from my property, discarded wood, re-purposed corrugated metal roof, windows, and door. Biggest expenses were concrete and piping for the plumbing. That was to get it livable. I’ve spent probably another $5000 over the past two years building out my solar system and for upgraded finishing materials on the inside, plus with that money I also built two guest cabins on my property which I rent out to guests. I had someone spend the whole summer on my property last year and made $5000 from that one cabin alone in 3 months. Those cabins have replaced my work income, so I’m retired now at 37 and spend most of my time optimizing my property for food production and making my place a desirable vacation destination in the countryside.

no problem, the house is in Slovenia. And Slovenia has the most rain in Europe. You just have to protect the straw from direct rain. The clay plaster absorbs moisture and then emits it when needed and that is the beauty of natural construction. The walls must breathe. No moisture problem at all!

Does that mean when the walls breathe, they are breathing decomposing straw microdust into the home?@@klerobi1

If you build a house from a wooden structure and you have to achieve the same insulation as on a house made of straw, a house made of wood will be much more expensive.
