Well, we'll see. Do you have a hempcrete house?

Hi! It's wood fiber board. nordicfibreboard.com/en/products/isoplaat/wind-barrier-board

It was, and wood warps in various humidity. As I didn't want to chink that much, the wood fiber boards were a good solution.

Aesthetics and practical use - no need to sand and paint them+good preservation. Yes, they are simply stacked and nailed together.

Droši, atraksti uz norādīto e-pastu, tad izstāstīšu.

Thanks! Simple is always best!

@izjusts Did you find it cheaper to do it this way? Versus framing a wall, and applying insulation, and vapor barrier, and wall coverings?

@@highplainshollarhomestead3188 Yes. I had access to a lot of deadwood, so decided to stack em up like legos. And I wanted the sauna to be as primitive and natural as possible. The final expenses are still under 1k euro - and the biggest part was the stove.

@@izjusts Did you mill your own 2x4s from dead wood logs?

@@highplainshollarhomestead3188 yep

Yeah, I know about the different latten, but doing some maintenance, everything looked fine. Haven't finished everything yet though.

Thanks! What would you have done different?

Thanks! Am still trying to finish. Lack of time and other distractions. Construction was fast. filling the hemp took a whole summer. now the floors and lime plaster.

Hey! Thanks for your questions. The gap between the planks is there, because I don't have time to put up the 5cm wide board that would cover it :) The boards are burnt just as a conservation method - you can look up Yakisugi. Burning planks takes up time, but then again you don't have to plane and sand them, because fire does that for you. Cheers!

nope, actually it's all deadwood, just charred.

Thanks! The insulation is sitting on 1x4 planks, that are alternated. Holds up fine and nothing is trickling down.

Thanks! I'm usually mounting all the wiring on walls. For now I start to think, that I should have used a double stud frame, would be easier and lazier to do all the finishing jobs ;)

Thanks for your input. The vertical cladding isn' t tight and leaves enough room for moisture to escape. If the fiberboard will rot in ten years I'll give you a thumbs up!

Wood (Yakisugi)

Thanks. We are planning on building a wood burning stove, because wood is the most affordable heating source nearby. The other source will be electricity or heat pump, haven't decided yet.

Yes, It's breathable. I have them installed on my sauna as well and have no issues.

That's great. I recommend reading "The hempcrete book" and "Essential hempcrete construction" before you start, gave me a lot of insight.

@@izjusts I'm reading the hempcrete book. Is that other book such different information that its worth reading it?

@@bramverhoeven10 Some chapters were better explained than in the hempcrete book. If I could do it again I would go with a different wall system - I would do the double stud frame.

@@izjusts oke. Because double system has a better isolation en easier with casting?

@@bramverhoeven10 Exactly! But it depends on what you plan on the exterior and interior. In my case, that would have been easier, because of the cladding outside, and it prevents cold bridges.

Thanks! I'm living on 57 N - Eastern/northern Europe. Can get quite cold sometimes, but mostly humidity is my foe. I used the traditional 3 hurd : 1 lime : 1 water, sometime adding prompt, but could have done without.

Ačiū!

@@izjusts 🤗

Thanks and good luck with your sauna!

Thanks! I'm looking forward for part II as well. Just have to wait for warm weather to start work with lime.

I used the standard ratio 3:1:1 (but adjusted the water according to heat outside). Yes, I did use Prompt, but could have done without.

Hmm, do hemp blocks magically appear out of nowhere?

With very deep pockets maybe hemp blocks can be used but for most people on a budget timber frame casing is the way to build with hempcrete.

@@peadaroloughlin3270 cheers Dustcrete it is then.

Thanks, ;)

Thanks 👍

Thank you!!

Classic - 3:1:1 (hurd-lime-water)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

The wind insulation is wood fiber board, as the hempcrete is only 30 cm thick, I was worrying that wind could go through. And as I tested in my sauna with 2x4's the wind insulation makes a huge difference.

@@izjusts Thanks for the answer. Was the sauna insulated with 30cm thick hempcrete too?

@@mickythreee4640 Nope, the sauna has 10 cm solid wood walls + 1.25 cm wood fibre board insulations + double layer of cladding. I used hempcrete to insulate the ceiling - about 10 cm thick for now (that showed me how permeable and breathable hempcrete is). The floor is just wood planks with 0,5-1 cm wide gaps - to dry faster and let the water run out and fresh air for the owen.

@@izjusts Thanks for getting back to me. Looking forward to seeing how your project progresses!

@@izjusts What about the inside? Did you install or plan to install any kind of vapor barrier?
