Really nice to see fire resistant buildings. . . except for your beautiful cedar wood double doors.

After watching your 1 month newer DIY video first, I'm wondering if/when you might reveal your new no-mold procedure. I also left a question there about creating ICCF blocks with abundacrete (is that your unique name for styrocrete?), instead of forms. Love your work and look forward to your answers.

Very informative! Looking forward to the new methods. I know in this economy, the only way I'm ever going to own a home is to build one.

How to do mix? I'm Myanmar.tell me way.

You don’t level a wall, you plumb it.

You folks are the BEST! We must develop alternate building materials. Structural foam materials and methods that provide flexibility in design with insulating properties at little to no additional cost. Recycling and utilizing Free scap foam, saving landfills and the oceans is fantastic. Need legislation to keep is so. .. Why? The billion dollar question - Why is foam sheets, spray in, etal Sooo expensive? micron film encapsulating air at absurd prices. I'm sure you guys can come up with a way to pump the mix to a 3D House and Structure Printer!

As an ex-building materials designer/inspector, I've always been interested in new materials concepts and uses. My experience was in superstructures..ie bridges dams and highways etc. So you can imagine my interest in your technology. One question however, what do you use as a polymer to get Portland cement to bind with Styrofoam?

1 part wood varnish x 2 parts mineral oil seals timber and prevents rot. Old remedy from wood boat building. Goes a long way painted or sprayed on wood.

awesome. I'm always hesitant to try this kind of stuff, but am worried about microplastics leeching into ky immediate environment and causing harm. how do you seal all styrofoam for this? is that what 'stucco' does?

Awesome job sir !!

Raise the chopper and put some steps in to get to it. It will allow the bag to gravity feed better. Just a thought. Nice video otherwise. Very creative.

i so want to try this

From a space usage point of view the shape is impractical

can it be done without the foam setup?

Excited to see the better ways to do a mold poured build you come up with. I wanna do an arch structure like your shed, but without the frame bones!

THANK YOU!!!!

Can I hire you for my project ?

Please consider using diagrams and scripting your video. It sounds like a podcast or verbal description. It looks like unscripted and more and more like rambling. Also you never address a better alternative to using molds. Did u paint and oil your like u did in the dome build bc u didn't had any issues with the molds. Things not adding up.

man talks for 13:00 minutes before you see the elevator in action. talks for 15:42 until you see the elevator with a useful load.

Where do you buy the block machine in China what is the company name

Interesting, but this doesn't seem like it would be very fire resistant, a major topic right now for anyone building anywhere.

$1600 in used material and $10k in equipment. Time also costs $

Have you try fly ash in the concrete

I wonder how it would be using icf forms and just pouring the stuff in there. Yeah might cost a little more but you have extra r value and don’t have to mess with forms at all. Thoughts? Also looking at building an a frame cabin using this whole method. Very interesting everything you guys are doing. I live on 40 acres in Montana and built my home with my dad, traditional stick frame. I have lots of thoughts for the use of your guys method. Cheers for the hard work!

Hi! Has any out there compared the tensile strength of strings non styrofoam and then same studio with half inch rebar?

I subscribed to you 2 yrs ago and never received updates from youtube. I hope it works now.

SPOT ON, STEVE

Beautiful !🎉

Have you tried using sea water or salt water instead of regular water? That is what the Romans used, much more durable than modern concrete...

What an efficient build.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ were the staples for the mash stainless steel or some other material or some other metal

I really like the fact that it's reusing the Styrofoam instead of it going into a landfill where it will be forever. One of the best parts it's fireproof so if you live near a high fire area I'd definitely want to have a house built with this style of construction and when all the neighbors homes are ashes and yours is still standing but with smoke and ash laying on everything, you can wash it off and it will look as good as new with a new coat of paint. Plus I think if you are planning on having a new home built, think about this type of method and design a house that is round like a huge dome so bad storms can't damage it because science has clearly shown that winds even at high speeds like during hurricanes and tornadoes, that 150 miles per hour winds simply goes around the structure and doesn't cause damage. For example, look at tall water towers that are all over the world. People have even built homes inside those old tanks and put in elevators to go up to the floors above instead of taking the stairs. For us in wheelchairs we have to use an elevator to get into places such as that. Have fun designing and building your new home and remember that it's Alot easier and cheaper to make changes on paper or a computer screen then to do it half way into the building process. Share the Love and knowledge with others and never forget that Love is the glue that holds everything together in our Universe. An that's the real truth. Good vs evil, and good people will win in the end because God is there with us all. We stand together just like it should be.

Looks great but I might have added a foot in each dimension to accommodate easier maintenance access in the future.

That really is amazing you were abale to recover all that after the form failure

Its a great instructional video .. highly appreciate you sharing it

Thanks for the info on protecting pex in cement, I probably would have done that wrong!

Did you try using a metal like Cattle Fence Panel for strength?

Recyclable Styrofoam prices just went sky high. Thanks.

These are things I never think about. Once the hookup burned out in the RV, I just pulled an extension cord through the window. I'm such a function over form guy I never think about how normal people get stuff done. It's like that story you told about how you wanted to live in a dome but someone else wouldn't let you. I guess I'm just not that picky lol

How much does the Styrofoam off-gas formaldehyde?

still learning with every video

Glad to see you putting out these short videos on the various topics. I'm still not ready to build so haven't purchashed the course YET. And I'm absolutely lookinig forward to when that happens.
