i didn't have time or money or patients for all that but yeah, i invented styrocrete too.... i made a hundred squares, six at a time to 38X38X3, i used bean bag filling, i mixed the styrofoam and cement first then added water. I attached the squares with mortar. My pump house has been out there since 1982, it outlived the pump and the well and now the grand daughters use it as a fairy house and there are no boys allowed....

I've been using this method ever since watching your garage build, and I absolutely love it! Made a 6x10 slab, small (14-16") retainer wall, and used a kids pool as a form to make a small in ground concrete pool for my dogs. I personally recommend using either recycled wire fencing, or anything thicker than chicken wire, in the center for reinforcement as the long term structural capacity is still in the air... but for anything non structural, this is the way to go! Saves a ton of money in materials! My next project will be to pour my driveway with it to see how well it holds up.

For you , where you live , it cost you 1600 dollars . The majority of us don't have the knowledge experience and significant tools with the space and outbuildings to do all this . I am very intrigued by this method as it seems very versatile . The cost would be much more for me out here in California but still far cheaper than other ways that are as sound as this . This building is not the same as corrugated metal one assembled with sheetmetal screws . It's like a work of art .

With the old time plasterers, they would put a pigment right in the last coat of mortar and it would never need painting at all. You could get almost any color. Also, they could finish it such that it would look like a mirror finish, like a fine automotive lacquer paint job, if that was what was desired.

Working on apartments as a carpenter here in Texas, they use a lot of stucco finish. For the final stucco coat lots of guys use a texture gun and hopper like drywall finishers use indoors for texturing drywall. Nothing fancy and just a normal size compressor used for just one texture gun. As for the brown and scratch coat they used the normal trowel technique.

Been following along since the beginning. Patiently waiting for an update or showing how the roof copes with winter weather. Your styroaircrete placing method is sort of like a slip form.

REALLY like using recycled packaging waste for building - Well Done, Mate !! Ever consider making an ICF type block? Your Styrocrete on the sides with a pattern for poured concrete with openings for utilities and rebar in between (Code Compliant) ?? If the Styrocrete had screws in a pattern facing into the concrete pour, it would be laminated well A format similar to size of 4x4 of cinder blocks, would be mighty easy to work (Sailor, yes; getting old and thinking a Homestead might be smarter than fighting storms and expensive marinas....)

great work , I love the low cost. Some people might strengthen the walls to floor slab by drilling the concrete slab and fit galvanised starter bars 18 inches long , as you fill the walls it will give that extra bit of lateral strength in case you get earthquakes. Same with the ridge joint , you could bend up galvanised rebar into a Vee shape and add them to strengthen the ridge peak , better a little too much than 1 % too little :)

That would be to cool for school. Although impossible at this time as we’re looking at about a 5 to 6 year plan. Don’t count me out though…

I really like the way you have developed the styro aircrete material and see the logic of having a formable aggregate that won't collapse in use and in fact has to be compacted. This seems to open up the possibility of placing it using a cob technique rather than pouring it into the formwork? From your experience do you think it possible to make a stiff enough mix that it could be hand placed to create freeform 3D compound curve sculptural structures that could then have a bonded ferrocement layer applied for structural tensile and compressive strength? The freeform structures I want to make will ultimately be buried and landscaped so having a material that is water tolerant like styro aircrete seems a perfect fit to make sculptural formwork? Also just wondering if you have experimented with fibre reinforcement like polypropylene or hemp? Thanks for sharing your work.

@AbundanceBuild Год назад

In all of our tests to date, a mold is required to pack the styrocrete tightly. We are making custom molds now - stay tuned!

It could also be built bigger to compensate for straight walls and a ceiling.The uneven and curved space behind the walls and attic could be insulated!

Congrats my friend You have done something that few can match. that is beside one great looking Garden Shed, you have taught us all what sharing information is really all about. from making foam to painting the roof. Can't thank you enough for putting me up at your house and inviting me to your table. You have inspired many like me, to get involved in this new wonderful and inexpensive way of building. Not easy to thank you enough, just don't have the words. We will soon begin with the first structure in Guatemala and I sure hope to have you and your wife here when its finally done. God Bless. Roberto

Roberto thank you for confidence. I look forward to coming to see you all there. Lets get some styro aircrete homes up over their.

@pamcolechadwell1302 Год назад

Would be a great tiny home.

@AbundanceBuild Год назад

Absolutely! Check out our latest video to see the tiny houses we are building next! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MJOjMughzy0.html

Maybe the one guy doesn’t like the looks of it, but I think it’s cool! Plus the construction is interesting. Wonder if you could make a root cellar with it. Cheers!

@AbundanceBuild Год назад

Haha thanks! Yes you could definitely make a root cellar! Subscribe for new builds coming soon!

What a great presentation; what a lot of work

@AbundanceBuild Месяц назад

Thanks! We did the work to discover easier ways to get this result so you don't have to do it the hard way haha! We compiled it in an online class at abundancebuild.com

@HergerTheJoyous Год назад

Styropaperaircrete really is a good building material! Now that I'm feeling a little better I what to do some experiments adding biochar to the mix to strengthen the mix. There's a paper explaining that if you add it you can strengthen the mix by approx 30%.

@AbundanceBuild Год назад

Herger, glad you are feeling better. Yes I saw an article on biochar as well and then I forgot about it. I will look it up again. Thank you

@Acappellaokecom Месяц назад

I'd like to make a small distinction between char and biochar, as far as I understand it. Biochar is just char, which has been charged with nutrients, then activated with microorganisms. Biochar is particularly beneficial for growing plants, but the added expense would have no value as a component in building material.

@HergerTheJoyous Месяц назад

@@Acappellaokecom That is correct. Thanks. Calling it biochar is just an old gardeners habit.

@egdenis Год назад

Great way to recycle but styrene is an endocrine disrupter and prolonged exposure also results in nervous system damage. Idk if I'd want to build my walls with that.

@AbundanceBuild Год назад

When you lock it in and behind a cement wall it is completely safe! Subscribe for new builds coming soon!

@BladeUtah Год назад

Thank you for your educational videos, I really appreciate them! I have projects in the queue I want to use your system on. I have the electric mower, but still need the aircrete pump system, so I will get going on that. I want to learn to build trusses as you showed how, also.

@AbundanceBuild Год назад

You can do it! We have a new recipe with no foam. Stay tuned!

@jaydoe3707 Год назад

@xochipili1 8 месяцев назад

Put it in poly tubes and make a super or hyper adobe type structure. Has anyone tried that? You could almost print houses that way.

@AbundanceBuild 8 месяцев назад

Yes that is one of the methods covered in our Online Class! abundance.build/classes/ It is a great pairing because Abundacrete is super lightweight and you can move the 25 foot bags around after you fill them and before it cures

@wande.r 8 месяцев назад

Hi, I've been following you for a while now and love the build . I was just wondering, a year later , could we see how the styrocrete is holding out? What your experience is? Waterproof proofing, any shrinkage / cracking issues. And any thoughts on if you had to do it again , is there anything you would do differently, like, maybe thicker insulation and waterproofing?

@AbundanceBuild 8 месяцев назад

Well the two-story workshop is now three years old and looks great! We do have a new Online Class that teaches our perfected methods: abundance.build/classes/

I wonder about off gassing or the styrofoam in case of exposure to fire. And how does it hold up to blunt forces like wind and branches. Very cool building! Good job!

Copied your foam stedder, followed all videos. My brother and I have a podcast. would like to see if you might be interested in coming on and talking about styrocrete. Planning on building my house out of this.

Hi, great work. I'm trying to understand where the A-frame ridges appeared from? At 10:57 the mesh goes on without any ridges in sight and then suddenly at 12:27 the ridges appear when doing the stucco? Thanks.

@AbundanceBuild Год назад

It is an aesthetic trim that was cut witha hotwire cutter! I'll make a video about it soon! Subscribe to be notified!

@YadraVoat 6 месяцев назад

Do you have an itemized list of costs totaling the $1,600 build cost? 🤔 Obviously there would also be some prerequisites not included, such as the cement mixer. 😉

@AbundanceBuild 6 месяцев назад

Yes Stephen lists it at the end of this video. Also in our online class (abundance.build/classes/) we provide editable spreadsheets with links to every material and tool to breakdown the exact costs of building a house with this method
