Hi Sam, yes it’s these two galleries on my website: thathempcreteguy.com/work/hempcrete-block-and-oak-frame thathempcreteguy.com/work/lime-plaster-and-oak-frame

[@HSilver341]

Hi great vid do u need to have all the oak beams etc inside to compensate using hempcrete I’m thinking about doing my extension in it Cheers

[@williamstanwix]

Hi, yes the oak frame goes up first and provides the structure, it takes the loads of the roof and upper floors. The Hempcrete holds itself up and the finishes. You could also use glu lam timber as in this build thathempcreteguy.com/work/hemp-block-with-glulam-frame

What is the hempcrete block formula? rates?

[@williamstanwix]

It’s 200litres of hemp shiv to 40kg of lime binder. There are formulas in the design guides which you can download from my website - www.thathempcreteguy.com

[@williamstanwix]

There are lots of people using it in the USA, try posting on ‘the Hempcrete forum’ to connect with them.

What kind of saw is that you used?

[@audigit]

Didn't he say? Alligator Saw.

[@williamstanwix]

It’s called an alligator saw, I think Dewalt and Bosch both make one.
