Truly truly i say to you Jesus is the only one who can save you from eternal death. If you just put all your trust in Him, you will find eternal life. But, you may be ashamed by the World as He was. But don't worry, because the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, and it's up to you to choose this world or That / Heaven or Hell. I say these things for it is written: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, *teaching them* to observe all that I have commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of seasonal".

YOU WONT EVER SEE A NEW BUILD HOUSE BUILT TO THIS QUALITY IN THE UK.

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

This is really well done but I'd love to understand what are the advantages of this method over aerated concrete blocks. This seems WAY more expensive / time consuming and all the columns are basically cold spots. For a 3 story house, D500 300mm block would do it without any additional insulation it seems.

[@bojandamjanovski3087]

aerated concrete blocks are way more expensive here than bricks

[@ktarnik]

@@beinurnurla Right. Croatia is a high seismic activity region. So EC 8 (European seismic code) requires concrete "columns" at a specific distance in the masonry wall.

[@sajadeshahidpour2008]

Greetings, theoretically speaking, ACBs have many advantages : lightweight, insulating, no thick mortar...But then you have price to take into account, which can be aggravated by the fact that if you are in a market in which the workers are unfamiliar with a specific system, no matter how good it is you will have trouble finding a competitive labour price with proper guarantees. You can technically build with ACB in high seismic regions, the blocks have to be approved and obviously you have to follow Eurocodes and norms. Based on France (where I live) and taking into account my own personal view of the market and construction practices, if I had to make an efficient technico-economical choice I would either choose wood or cinder blocks + external insulation, or insulated concrete forms. Wood is quite turbulent here currently due to market rarity. Hopefully it will settle down. Cinder block here are so easy to build, it is a staple. And the advancements in external insulation today allow to almoste negate the advantages of ACB or bricks (including thermal bricks), while having the joy of great thermic inertia inside. Insulated concrete forms have to me the most promising qualities (exterior insulation, formidable inertia of concrete) but requires technical and know-how that may not be easy to find around.

[@gharam95x80]

A beautiful and wonderful building, but I have an important remark, which is that when installing the steel bases they must be welded from all sides according to the number of iron bars that were made as building bases for the building, and then increasing them with stainless steel wires to increase their strength and durability which is a better way than installing them Using metal wires alone because the bases may disintegrate inside the cement after nearly 30 years have passed due to rust and moisture but if you want to protect them from rust and moisture it is always better to paint them with a rust-resistant paint.

Pretty sure those thick bricks are too expensive (and too wide) to justify using on interior walls where you don't need insulation and space is a premium, but the thin bricks are just for non-load bearing walls. So they went with concrete for the load bearing interior walls.

Holy moly, your wife/gf is one hell of a worker. Nice to see laides do some hard works. Heheh. Intresting to see that you put hydroisolation under the bricks. Does the mortar stick well on it. Or is it some kind of special material.

[@Faranay]

I do not know from which state they are, but in most of Europe, waterproofing under any masonry is a basic requirement, without which the building approval will not even pass. Its classic foundation mortar between isolation and bricks, nothing special - its usually sold for that purpose and its usually comes from the bricks manufacturer as part of the whole building system (bricks, mortar and building foam for connecting bricks).

[@lignumchannel]

It is a must to keep the moisture from climbing up the walls. It sticks to it quite well, we had a couple of windy days that got me worried but I worry too much.. Especially when concrete posts get poured.. Yes she is great, I just hope she wont lose her nerves with me.. :D

[@Helloverlord]

Doesnt have to stick, weight itself is keeping it tight. If first layer isnt isolated capilar moisture will eventually saturate the concrete and transfer to the bricks.

[@matiasgoinheix366]

3:38 is that polyurethane foam on the bricks? Any reason why mortar isn't used to glue them? Man that house looks solid as a castle! Awesome series.

[@florianreclaire508]

In Germany this is called dryfix by Wienerberger. It is a polyurethane glue. Advantages are faster progress than using mortar and you can use the glue at colder weather (down to -5°C). This is only possible because the blocks are sanded to the right dimension as you can't compensate for any irregularities in the dimensions. Disadvantages are the use of more synthetic material and as this is a relatively new building technique, there is no long time experience. Compared to a traditional brick wall with lime mortar, this wall cannot compensate for slight movement or settling as the soft lime mortar would allow. As the PU-glue has a higher tensile strength than the brick, the wall would basically crack when the load gets too high.

Those bricks/blocks are Wienerberger Porotherm made from clay, later filled with concrete. You can find tons of videos on KZbin how to work with Wienerberger bricks.

[@haperunder]

@@32dras they are not filled with concrete, this is why you have to build concrete structures around them. The empty space that you see inside them is for isolation and the walls are not load bearing

[@lignumchannel]

Walls made from this block can withstand 10N/mm2, they don't get filled, pores are there to aid thermal insulation. They are made from baked clay and other ingredients which improve different properties. Depending on seismic area where the building is being build, walls can be bound with concrete posts and beams. if area is seismically inactive, less or no concrete is needed.

I assume the yellow planks for concrete forming are painted bright yellow ... for a reason? To notice concrete leaks during pouring? To remember you to remove them later?

[@garglebrag]

Its to avoid having the wood suck the moisture out of the surface of the wet concrete, and to make it easier to remove the forms once cured. Also it just looks pretty

[@Witcold]

I assume wood is treated with some chemical. You can also notice on 8:05 they apply oil on planks to prevent concrete from sticking.
