#strawbalehouse #sustainableliving Straw Bale House Build Day 13: Window Bucks and Rebar Spikes
We pick up with our straw bale house build by working on window and door bucks. Our doors are to be delivered in just a few days so we need to really get moving on this phase of the project. I also come up with a way to help anchor these wooden window bucks to the straw bale walls by making our own rebar spikes 24 inches long.
I'm going to be doing my best to make 2 videos per week. The project is so big that its getting difficult to keep you all up to date with just one video per week.

@BrainStormAcres 3 года назад

Really good show Bill! You did some really controlled cutting to square up the bales. A lot of people we know would be cutting bale strings. We’re so glad that straw bales are affordable in your area. We’re watching to see how it goes for you two. Build on and just film! Take care.

@theupsideofdownsizing 3 года назад

Thanks for watching and your kind words! I have only popped one string so far, and it wasn't while squaring up a bale. It was making a plunge cut for a wooden stake near the edge of a bale. I let the chain saw get a bit out of vertical and nicked the center string, which we immediately retied. Have a great weekend!

@BrainStormAcres 3 года назад

@@theupsideofdownsizing awesome that you could retire that string. When and where I grew up, many of the bales were secured with wire. Nasty stuff but hard to break.

@affordabledesertliving3487 3 года назад

Bill I would have never thought to trip the ends of the bales thinking I would simply just end up cutting into the baling twine and having it all fall apart. But seeing how you do it totally makes sense.

@theupsideofdownsizing 3 года назад

I got this tip from the book I mentioned are the beginning of the previous video. The bales lock together really nice. Managed not to cut a single string too.

There is a straw bale contractor in Texas by the name of Clay Sand Straw that drives a wooden spike vertically into a bale alongside a buck, then drives a long screw horizontally through the spike and into the buck. It seems to work, both for strengthening the bales as well as setting the bucks. Looking good!

Well thank you Laurie! We had some homemade pizza ( new no knead dough recipe) last night. Since we don't have a traditional oven, there's no turkey on the menu tonight, but plenty of sides😀.

@fallbrkgrl 3 года назад

@@theupsideofdownsizing Thank you! Well that sounds pretty good to me 🙂 all though, you shouldn't let the fact that you don't have an oven stop you from doing a turkey. When we used to spend the holiday at the sand dunes, in california, they used to cook at least one buried in a hole, with hot coals. Don't remember everything involved, or how it came out, but it could be fun. Talking about it has me wanting to give it a try some day😏

my first idea would have been welding a washer onto the rebarb, but i thin your idea may work fine

@theupsideofdownsizing 3 года назад

All you guys with welders are making me totally jealous! Just kidding of course. I wish I had a welder. This was the best I could come up with as an alternative. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

@danielfisch655 3 года назад

👍🏽👊🏽

@speedbuggy16v 2 года назад

just a thought, if you have a welder, welding the washers on the rebar would be faster, and you could counterbore the holes so they are below flush as well to avoid any window clearance issues later. Depending on who you know and how much you value your time farming those out, IE having them cut them to length and weld the washers on may or may not be cost effective. ETA, it may not be as much as an issue in straw bales as they have more give than logs, but in log construction the pins in the bucks ar driven in slots in the bucking so they can move as things settle.

@theupsideofdownsizing 2 года назад

One day I'll learn to weld. It's been on my list of things to learn for many years now.

@affordabledesertliving3487 3 года назад

Love the inventive stuff Bill. Like altering rebar to secure the window buckings into the bales. Nice invention and nice neat work with everything you do there.

@CarlJones14 3 года назад

Here in the UK, you'd pay thr equivalent of $25/30 for a corner clamp like yours. Great progress 👏 I've watched some other SBH building and they look totally chaotic because there are so many hangers on learning how to do it. With your build and videoing, it is very clear and well explained.👍

@theupsideofdownsizing 3 года назад

Oh I could find a corner clamp for that price too, but we're lucky ( and maybe sometimes not so lucky) to have Harbor Freight as a source for less expensive tools. Unfortunately they seem to be changing their business model and the really awesome deals are harder and harder to find. Thanks for watching!

@MidlifePrices 3 года назад

Nifty trick creating the rebar spikes! I have a question, and I hope I didn't miss this explanation somewhere. Can you explain the logic behind the door bucks being the full depth of the bale wall, while the window bucks are not?

@theupsideofdownsizing 3 года назад

because of how doors are installed, having the Bucks the full width of the bail allow us the option of installing the door on the inside or outside of the buck. With Windows there's only one option and that's from the outside. Good question though, thanks for watching!

@maryg3143 3 года назад

@RVBadlands2015 3 года назад

We didn’t trim our bales because we wanted all the straw but it wasn’t difficult to stuff in between bales. Doing a post and beam due to our wind speed per the county could be 115 MPH so it was engineered for that. Still a lot of hard work both ways. Nice to see the bales going up.

@theupsideofdownsizing 3 года назад

In our previous 2 builds, we never trimmed the bales and it didn't really bother me cause Yvonne was responsible for stuffing the gaps. 😉 But this building is 4x bigger than anything we've done before, so if I can cut down on the stuffing time, I'm happy to do it. The shavings will be perfect for our earthen plaster too. Thanks for watching and your input!

@HaleyK.P. 3 года назад

I can't wait to learn from this build, thank you for the detailed content! I am wondering why you guys chose to not do the strapping like you did with the tool shed bales? Is it because this is a larger structure and the rebar alone will be stronger? Thanks!

@theupsideofdownsizing 3 года назад

Thanks for watching and your question We will definitely be using the straping as we did with both the Toolshed and the Solar Shed. The strapping will go over the wall and top plate once the full height is reached. It'll be fed through the slots I made in the toe ups and it'll cinch together the entire wall. Here's the video about the toe ups. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--1t-WGALL5A.html We used rebar in both previous builds as well the difference being, this time we're using it in multiple stages whereas in the Toolshed build, we just used rebar once going through the entire height of the wall.

Hi, congrats for the project and for sharing it!! I'm not sure if you have spoken about that already, but I was wondering about how big is going to be the house. How many sqm? Do you have plans that you would like to share? Either way, I will keep following the built.

@demoe5676 2 года назад

will the rebar rust and will it cause damage to the bale later on?

@theupsideofdownsizing 2 года назад

Air and water/humidity are kept to a minimum/ (almost non existent) inside a properly baled and plastered strawbale wall. Our climate is inherently arid so it poses little to know concern. I have also seen people use plated threaded rod to stabilize their strawbale walls. It's a bit more complicated and expensive but certainly a good idea for those who are concerned with rebar rusting. But again, I don't think it poses a problem at all

@demoe5676 2 года назад

@@theupsideofdownsizing I see what you are saying about plated rod, I try to understand the idea of the characteristic of most strawbalr houses that are airtight, right? I learned that the clay has the capability to store moisture and release overtime. Hence the pleasant inside climate. I do think that you are right that the moisture won't reach all the way to the inside of the bale

@eddiewatson3759 3 года назад

why dont you weld a spike on the rebar and you can nail it to the floor

@theupsideofdownsizing 3 года назад

Oh how I wish I had a welder. What I could do with that. I also had the idea of using threaded rod. Driving it through the floor and bolting it together. What stopped me was trying to figure out where to drill the holes in the deck for the rod. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!

The beauty of straw bale is that they don't burn. Worst case scenario, they smolder. When you look at the homes that survived the wildfires in California last year, they were mostly straw bale.
