Cookie cutter homes are repetitive, by design, your home is a very a special "custom" home which is truly well thought out (planned carefully) with every course installed by all ....from the heart and soul , of each of you.!!!! What a blessing !!!!
I’ve watched you for a lovely long time and wasn’t sure I could watch a whole house be built (I live in the Pacific North West, enough said) but I am also a potter and today realized this is the way huge pots are made with beautiful coils so now I watch your beautiful pot being built to house you ❤️❤️❤️
My grandpa built his own adobe house in Summerland, CA. Made the bricks too. It was lit using gas lamps and heated by the fireplace. Today it’s some kind of Buddhist/New Age store. The building is over 100 years old. The muffins look wonderful.
Oh my goodness, it's coming along. It's beautiful ❤️ it's been a journey of a lot of joy and hard work. So thankful you had extra help. So love your video and I absolutely love them views 🎉❤
Wow! That was really a boost 😀! This Eric showed a wholesome bunch of energy. Maybe it's a way to deal with future 'deep/dipp moments': for every third course, you invite a friend/volonteer on the search of a complete new experiance... and 'off!' you go! Amazing, beautifull progress! 👌👍 The dogs-talk was fun ❤
With the price of lumber and concrete, etc., I wonder if the use of earth bags will become more popular among builders. Adobe bricks are becoming pretty common in the Southwest and more building codes are recognizing the matrrial, providing commonality in the marketplace. Earth bags are similar in concept. Having building standards provides assurances to home buyers of their quality and longevity (and proper installation) as a superior and environmentally friendly material...and a legitimate housing alternative. 😊
I found your channel by accident. I fall asleep to youtube and just click on the autoplay button. I woke up to one of your videos that was playing that was about a 2 hour recap build. Ever since then I have binged watched most of your videos. Then I remembered a while back I saw a workshop or something of yours doing the tree planting around your ditch ( Swell or whatever you guys call it) where you had the homies donate to the planting and got to put a name on their tree that helped get. I'm glad I found your channel again. I look forward to seeing the build.
The giant punkin muffin looked amazing!!!As you work your way up the walls, which is so exciting to see, I keep thinging, How in the Heck are they going to roof that monster????
This house is built well because it’s made with love, a lot of careful planning and your entire family’s blood, a lot of sweat and occasional tears. Everyone watching could hardly wait for the outcome. And Ashley, you could show your talent in cooking in your new kitchen with a mountain view. You need a cooking show…
I would like to address this comment to the children of this family. My guess is that sometimes you might in the quiet of your hearts wish this project was done, but it is not. So I just want to declare that you four are amazing people. You are building your family home with your own hands. This is not what your run-of-the-mill kid thinks about how they would spend their days. You each bring your own talent to this effort and I am appreciative of your work ethic. I enjoy watching you have your own fun with each other while your parents are doing their thing. Thank you for all that you bring to this massive project and your family in general. You are to be admired. Go kids!
RAMPS - y'all really gotta start prepping for a portable/movable ramp system, or maybe a small conveyer belt system. 2 more courses and it'll be needed. Can't wait to see what u come up with!
Yum, I love pumpkin. I have to go back and watch, because I get caught up watching the clouds. It is about time you got sponsors, it sure took them a long time to recognize a great thing.
Cooler weather is much welcomed here to the high desert of Colorado as well. Tired of the triple digits. This weekend, we're in the 70's and doing prep to paint!
Good afternoon you guys how are you guys doing today looks like everything is going together look like you're getting closer to the house just took a long ways to go have a good day
Hey Ash and Jon, I still think my suggestion a few vids ago about modifying an old grain auger as an elevator for the mix on higher walls. Anything to make that work safer and easier to do. Loving the build and look forward to these updates. Looking forward to looking at Eric’s Chanel.
Going up!! So exciting, starting to look like home. 🎉 At age 70, I'm retired and more than a little jealous of your youth and future home. Very special.❤ (And I'm not a hat person but can attest to your hole making skills.😂
After accidentally getting a sneak peek on insta, the scene behind made me grin all through the video... The seventh( lucky) layer was had a different energy truly... pumpkin muffins are a worth try. Will follow Eric for sure
Am I bad that I was waiting for One of you to call your "Hat Hole" business "Ash Holes"? 🤣😂 and why am I still laughing about that? It's after 4am and I'm at work just laughing at myself while I watch you guys build! Thank you for always keeping me entertained!!
This video was so much fun to watch. My son came and was asking me about the music.. Now he is watching too. I think you may have another sub! He is blown away by what you guys are doing!
Hey there, have you tried a Ramset for nailing the cleats? Since there is too much concrete to use a nail gun, the ramset will sink the nails with one strike of the hammer. It’ll save you a lot of time.
You guys always inspire to think out of the box. Your family is inspiring to watch how you all work together as a team. How many linear feet is one layer of the round house. You stated how many bags of portland per course but, not how many linear feet. Unless I missed it in the video.
I do not mind seeing you do products. I learned a lot about wool bedding from a long ago video. Quite a few people I watch do Thrive Market. Keto Twins for one.
Motoring along great work all of you. At the end be sure to let us know how many truckloads of dirt and other interesting stats. Which you are bound to say in any case.
Just love getting that 10:00 at night email taking me to your latest episode! It’s really getting exciting, the walls really look so good! That muffin!!!! Yum 😋😋😋
Just a reminder for your house. In castles they had the crown molding they used to hang ribbons from to hang portraits and other items. I thought that would be cool putting a cleated board all the way around the top of each room.
I was watching our self relent life, about solar panels making water. From source hydro panels solar powered panels create water from the desert air. Our self relent life live in Cochif county.
I meant to make this suggestion earlier. But have you guys heard of soccer vest? They're a bass that you can soak for thirty minutes and keep you cool up 24 hours
Hi guys, have you guys ever heard of clay bricks I was watching a RU-vid channel Laura kempf she was renovating an old house and she is big into natural materials. She used clay bricks and for the paint it was a clay plaster that was in different colors it looks cool. I don't know if ye are able to get it where ye are...
Just a looking from above your new home looks like a space craft maybe NASA will be in touch for a new secret location for area 57 lol 😂 I love the design and love your channel bless y'all 😊
Amazing progress, have you guys considered using a 'Spraycrete' type of Hopper Spray Gun to apply the cob or final coat, that would speed up the process a lot.
I have been following for a while and I like your project. It's a world away from rainy Europe. I wonder why you make straight corners instead of rounded ones that would allow you to lay continuous bags. Is it not possible to make sharp turns with the hyperadobe bags?
Depends on the application. You can't make straight sharp turns, but you can make rounded turns. We did this for the square part of the solar shed office (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I9mYlHBez0Y.html). There's definitely a limit as to how much bag you can fit on a bucket, so in the case of the roundhouse it's much more practical to end and interlock the bags instead of trying to make a sharp turn, especially when that turn might go past 90 degrees. We do a pretty deep dive on how earthbags work here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CoTlFLG_clY.html
