Austin ADU Hempcrete Project Tour - Carl Gradek Contracting

The home building community is buzzing about the growing popularity of ADUs - Accessory Dwelling Units. Many municipalities, and even entire states, are fast-tracking plans, and removing roadblocks to make way for these building projects that play a key role in the future of housing in America.
This ADU in Austin, TX has a unique feature in that it is made with industrial hemp as a key innovation by using hempcrete as the insulation.
Ray Kaderli with www.HempBuildSchool.com joins Carl Gradek with www.gradekcontracting.com for a job site tour of this innovative ADU project.

Limestone around the windows. That is such a sweet detail!

That was a favorite of ours too!

@20:30 vented crown molding, that’s a creative solution

It's all about giving moisture a place to go. I will advise that the screen for any insect migration should be included in the venting. Thanks for engaging! Let us know what you want to see next.
