Nothing Goes as Planned Building My First Wall!

[@J03Nelson]

Nice work! And definitely a challenge on your own. I have found the cordwood shrinks in time and separate from the mortar and in time you can push them right through. You can secure them really easily in the building stage by driving short nails half way in along the length of the log. Put in several nails on all sides of a log ,sticking out 2 or 3 cm and they will grab the mortar...forever!

[@tsaicio]

There is much simpler way. Put into the mortar any kind of fiber and it will not crack of it was properly mixed.

[@niknikolaeff7620]

Mate for someone who hasn't built be for, you have created a beautiful wall 💪🇦🇺

[@HuubVlogs]

Thank you so much 😀

[@teonaeades257]

It looks amazing ! Love it . Good for you.

[@maodonimega]

Thats the nicest wall I've ever seen

[@Snapper238]

Looking magical!

[@amso9]

Huub. You are a good example of “ Just do it”.

[@johng9562]

Very nice work ~ it's ok that the pony wall is not a cleanly finished. It's still beautiful dude.

[@reneebrown2968]

That is going to be one gorgeous artsy cabin. I love the start of it. Looking forward to watching the entire build

[@gerardogreiner7361]

Very nice, Huub !

[@sandravanlankvelt6537]

So glad you took the bottles off the bottom and put that angle wood in the corner. Wow beautiful wall and window. Gods blessings.

Very nice! Looking forward to future progress! My niece and her husband are building a cordwood home!

[@gilliantempleton3253]

thats not a wall, its a work of art, beautiful.

[@kidgolferman]

Add nails to outside of frame, like you do with the posts so your windows will be locked in by cement

[@cohall46]

Nice to see that you have mastered the chain saw. Very unique and interesting way to build a wall using logs. You make an awful lot of work look so very easy. Thanks for sharing.

[@HuubVlogs]

Haha, if I knew how to build a normal house, then maybe I would have known the difference in amount of work :)

[@cwhit1]

Hey bud I just found your channel today and it looks like you are very competent to me you do not need anybody telling you how to do it you said something about a sailboat earlier that’s what I’m waiting on. I love sailboat. My ex wife’s first cousin build a house just like you’re doing in Kentucky 40 Years ago and it looks like it will be there forever

[@simonnewman5597]

Love your vids Huub, after a bad day changing a gearbox gasket on my camper I knew your video would make me smile. You're doing a great job and the cabin has your personality all over it. Keep doing what you love and stay safe😉👍🤩

[@HuubVlogs]

Uf, gearboxes. They are heavy and a lot of work to take off. I feel your pain, I've done it before!

[@mehmetertum6]

Catching up after a long time, have to say you are an expert builder. looks absolutely fantastic.

[@HuubVlogs]

Thanks Jay. Definitely not an expert haha. but it does look really nice!

[@signi3]

Huubje ik vind het helemaal mooi!

[@rachellecanada8997]

WOW I Love it...It's beautiful 👍

[@alvaroschudeck957]

Just a suggestion: Wet the base concrete first and try to find an adhesive bridge between the log and the mix you're doing, may be try some different mix, pure cement or cement and lime on just the very thin surface of the log, that will make a much better union between the log and the other mixture you are using. (also wet the log, a little bit to avoit the wood extract water from the mix).

[@saticharlie]

MAn, this is your first official cordwood wall . I wrote to you about the Rob Roy books, i have many books about CW and i can say, without a doubt that there as NEVER been a more beautiful first cordwood wall. Your work is amazing, so much preparation and care is admirable. I hope Rob Roy could see this. Continue the good work.

[@HuubVlogs]

Thank you Charles. Now I know how to do it I think I'm gonna build all the walls up at the same time. this was great practice!!! thanks again!

[@777visionquest]

awesome, looking good....!

[@harunurlu6092]

You may ise pulleys ropes to bring the frame to its places easier ...

[@esteldp]

Preciosa casa.

[@jackfntwist]

pppps. Looks beautiful, btw. You should make secret little windows that look like bottles, but aren't concave, so you can see out or in.

lifting the frame (window): just lift it horizontal - in that way that you can set the downward edge onto the ment platform, than it is a little bit easier to erect the windows frame. But the rope still good as backstop

The roof should be next shouldn't it ? The roof will give a dry place to work, protect supplies , collect rainwater for the cement and gardening! Everything is looking great !!! I am in the planning stage for my cabin at the back of my property! After the winter storms this year I need a place to bug out to when the power and water are out ! Will be watching , lots of ideas so far !!!!!

[@gregmarchand9985]

I know you’re out boating the great big ocean now. I have a few questions though. Any word on the cabin build are the restrictions being taken care of? Or still in limbo? always I would love to know in exact detail on how you made your mortar mix for foundation, like mix ratio, and product being used. That worked for you. And same with the cord walls.

[@aurochf1]

Looks great Huub! even better than I thought and the bottles look really nice! I wonder if the insulation is really necessary, the walls are quite thick anyways and the logs must insulate a lot already.

[@HuubVlogs]

good question. this is just how I saw others do it :)

[@aurochf1]

@@HuubVlogs I figured that it may be easier not to add the insulation and the wall would be sturdier as they will have to sustain part of the weight of the cabin. I am no expert, though. I am liking more and more how it looks, including the bottles.

[@gazza2963]

@@aurochf1 have built several CW buildings, the insulation is a thermal break. It takes alot for heat and cold to travel through the wood, but not through the lime. giving it a thermal break will make the inside more comfortable. obviously this only works if all thermal bridging is do in the construction

[@aurochf1]

@@gazza2963 I am sure you are right. My comment (not a concern, as the thermal break won't hurt) is because Valencia region is an area of warm climate and a wall that is 40cm thick may suffice. But, on second thought, It may also help with the heat!

[@HuubVlogs]

Wow, thanks!

[@jackfntwist]

I wonder if those logs have been dried / aged, or if over time they will dry and the house will crumble.

[@geminigemini8955]

Hello! How thick shuould be the cordsood wall for outside temperature about 20 C?

[@MrLouisCatty]

working alone takes more time but not impossible! my words. bro I would do it the same way. may take a log or two then do the same technique with the rope and half way you can safe the frame on the logs take a break and then pull it up entirely. much love. keep on going. how are you going to do your waste water? can recommend a biodigestor.
