these are 10 - 12 mm threaded rods. Usually after removal, we need to fill in the hollow space, I have kept that open as at that time I had planned to conduct classes and see the impact.

thank you. your kind words are an inspiration

yes

from 12V solar panel, to a 12v Waterpump. Works for small implementations.

Thank you for your kind words..

​@@BangaloreFarmeris there any way I can contact you to get some advice. I tried sharing my number so that you could personal MSG me but looks like it's getting deleted

Thank you, yes, it is a different feeling to immerse in this..

Yes, you need some support. I used metal frames and then placed kadapa stone slab above that. The height above that is less than 2 ft, so this was okay. But if you are planning to have more height , then you need to look for stronger frame and reinforcement.

@@BangaloreFarmer thank you

@@BangaloreFarmer I am wondering how the windows / doors will be managed in this type of construction? If you are using kadapa stone will the ramming on top of it not break the stone ? what is the thickness of metal frames you are using for windows so that it can take up the force of ramming

thank you

They should have been cut to 1.5 ft , but since it will be a waste I did not cut them into smaller sizes, Thats why it's looking risky.

@@BangaloreFarmer What is the name of those rods?

@@atoncybiker2022 they are called threaded rods, the the hallow ones are curtain rods cut to the size of the wall.

@@BangaloreFarmer Thank you so much. I am learning quite much from your videos. Thanks for taking your time to reply.

we have been hoping to open for visits for a year. hopefully we will be open by August of this year :)

This is located at Thally,

Yes, the walls are super strong. In case your roofing is concrete, you can also add columns to support.

Thank you for asking. We havent yet opened it for training and visits, This is 30 Km from Anekkal at a place called Thally

its actually only 8ft high. I cut the plywood into half so that I can handle it alone. the choice is about convenience, in my case I wanted to set the frame just once (to save on labour time) and then finish the wall at one go. Doing it in smaller frames will mean additional work to safely place the structure on the below one.

This to me was the most difficult work, because I used a 4x4 plywood and it was heavy to keep it in position. I struggled. Suggest to take help if needed from the centering team, or doing it patiently. I had Iron beams to protect the plywood from bulging when rammed. Just make holes at a .5 ft from edges and one at the center, use a threaded rod and C clamp to hold the iron beams Fill the bottom layer to 90 % and then work on the above form. Its rock solid after ramming and you can easily climb. Use width of 1 ft min. You can maintain this by cutting curtain rods into 1 ft and inserting inside the form. Note that the threaded rod has to pass through the curtain rods.

thank you

Thank you for your kind words. The next part of the video is on roof fabrication, and Windows + Door . After this I plan to make a video on the learnings soon.

Thanks a lot 😊

Thank you 👍

Great question! While using rocks for a foundation is a common practice, I chose to use red bricks for a specific reason in this project. 1. Easy to use for a solo work 2. Availability 3. I only wanted a no sink flat surface to build the wall

Thanks 👍

So nice of you, I have uploaded the second episode on rammed earth wall.

Yes, this is a trial wall . I just completed rammed earth home, will be posting the video soon. The ideal way to decide on the stabilizer percentage is to block test.

​@@BangaloreFarmeryes bro u have said it correct that soil block test is ideal way to test for the stabilization thing.

Nice to see you too Jayashree..

Thank you

You can take Anekkal - Thally route. Thally is also known as Little England

It depends on the benchmark. It came well.
