Earthen Building : Building a small house in 10 hours.

How to build adobe house step by step with a lot of detail.

[@archcast5550]

Architect here, very impressed by the way you merge old and new materials!

[@_Wai_Wai_]

I wish my whole family would see things this way, so we can all move to rural area and live / work in this way.

[@presidentialsuite6406]

I know right. No one wants to work together

[@BernardSinai]

Thanks.

[@PRINCESSDREAMYLYN]

i've tried my family thinks the world is going to just keep going as it is. they've got their heads in the sand and just keep obeying a phantom god/man to save the world.

[@JustasG]

Just prepare place by yourself and after nice house is done in rural, then family will fall in love with the feeling of being in natural house and nature :)

[@kevintsosie2780]

I live in rural area, but nobody wants to help me, not even my mom. They think lowly of the material. It’s better if you have people to work with. I guess it makes no difference if your family’s there or not, people have to want to make it.

[@oldradio3092]

I’ve seen many cob building videos as I am going to attempt to make a chicken coop out of cob and this is the best explanation I’ve seen so far. Thank you for sharing your journey with the best of us :)

[@elizcringle6505]

I love that he advises to use sand from the side of the road, because that's something I would do. When I see rocks laying about, I think "foundation", when I see pallet wood destine for trash, I think "larsen truss for the house. I mean, a person can literally build a house for free 😁😁😁

[@_Wai_Wai_]

yea, but in USA, all usable land either owned by Gov't, large corporations or the super wealthy. you can buy land, but then you pay yearly taxes to use that land.

[@chaikiankhiong]

I will soon be setting up a moneyless community project in Borneo where the concept is to use all free building materials be it recycled or from the surroundings. We would make sure we would spend hardly any money so to ensure we live a debt free life with us growing our own food and generating our energy and filtering our own water. We would invite volunteers from everywhere. Namaste

[@JesusSaves86AB]

Nice jon continue to educate people By using videos . Your not only give us knowledge but you taught us how you save the planet the way you did. When entire people living in this planet learned this way how self sufficient then its time to kick the ass of politicians

[@SamaMuslimVillage]

Hello John thank you so so so much this is probably one of the best building videos that I've watched so far.. I hope it had more details such as how the foundation and roof are made. We would also love to see the final product. looking forward to many videos like this. Thank you so much. God bless.

how nice ... you have discovered adobe construction .... lots of different styles but always the same ancient principle of adobe bricks ... mud bricks made from mud and straw

[@SAYDLINEPH]

Hello Jon, been a fan for very long. I like the fact that your built on materials that are around us. My question is, if only two people will work on this, how many man-hours? How many days for two people to finish it. Have you tried doing that?

[@JonJandaiLifeisEasy]

My first house is about 39 square meters I worked alone 2 hours per day .It took 3 months to finish the house if 2 people the same size of the house may be about 3 weeks.

[@rogathesarwatt]

Halo Jon I'm from Tanzania thank you for your teaching

[@rodels.3745]

Hello jon, it was not shown in the video how you attached the beams to the earth-wall. How did you do it? So that the roof will not fly in a tropical storm.

[@JesusSaves86AB]

Very informative, thank you very much for sharing Jon.

[@leoegagamao6088]

[@Zincchromeshema]

I would like to make a house like this in Michigan, USA. We have beautiful red terracotta clay here.

[@roelandpeeters931]

terracotta... terra =earth cotta = cooked (baked, fired) Bricks and ceramics are "terracotta"... what you have is clay with which to make terracotta. If your clay is red, then more than likely the iron content will be rather high. Most clay turn red when fired => that is why bricks are red(dish).

[@Shlomayo]

Hi Jon, Just recently found your channel, and I am amazed! I do have a question on adobe building in Southeast-Asia: how to you ensure that the bricks are weather-resistent? And do bugs and other critters (termites, etc.) not burrow into the adobe and damage the walls?

[@cndbrn7975]

Try adding adding Hydrated lime to mortar for bricks and paint for parging, the lime will help with cracking from movement or sag also to prevent water penetration ..

What about water damage ?. Do u have to take care to prevent prolonged drenching of the walls. I can imagine ur region being very rainy tropical as well. These alternative building got me concerned about this

We have roof cover the wall. If the rain hit the wall the clay paint help to protect the wall. We don't have problem with the rain in the 20 years of our experiences.

which is faster, economical, stronger & aesthetic - cob vs earth bag vs adobe earth

Adobe is the fastest way to build and cheap. Cob can be the strongest but adobe can last more than 100 years depend on how we take care of the building.

@exploring perspectives Jon Jandai alway said the best way to learn to build a earthern building is by do it yourself. Bricks is a building block of it, So you might wanna try to make them first. There is no definite recepies for this because each different places has a differents soil composition and different air humidity. So just listen what he say in this video and you can start make some bricks. Just do it !!

If it is too much sand it will be crumble very easy. Lift the dry brick up to your head level and throw the brick to the concrete floor. Use the corner of the brick hit the floor if the whole brick crumble that is not good to use . If it break into big pieces it is ok to use.
