Hey Kev! Remember me? That sounds like a pretty awesome building material! I just started probably about a year ago or so, learning about sustainability, permaculture, and all these "unorthodox" building methods. That's one of the things that made/makes our country so great is that you can come up with a better way to do something, help other people in the process, and everybody benefits. That's why I'm for less government bureaucracy, and more freedom. Keep up the good work!

God bless you. It is things like this that will truly help save the world. I was first introduced to the potential in hemp about 20 years ago. Amazing to see what people like you are doing with it.
Awesome video!!! #hempadobe #hemp is the world's premier renewable natural resource ... to lubricants, to building materials that can replace dry wall and plywood, to carpets, rope, laces, sails... the list goes on n on! #hempadobe we love what you are doing for the planet!
Hello. This is amazing. I would love a home built out of hemp. I think if more people share this information more people would understand the difference between hemp and weed. I have jewelry and more built from hemp. it's Super Strong and Longlasting.
Great video. I have 25 years of concrete experience and I love the sound of this. Same principle but better by far. Have you got any of the certifications that you were looking for? I am in BC Canada, will your certifications apply here as well?
Good stuff, I applaud you for your innovative approach and thinking outside the box. I am however having a hard time wrapping my mind around the thought that 12"= R-80. The numbers I have seen vary depending on the mix design of the hempcrete but seem to be around 2-3 per inch. Are you using something other than conventional hempcrete or are the honeycomb design element and the "skins" of the wall adding to the R-value?
Cannabis is the best medical/supplement herb that has ever existed Hemp is the most versatile plant that has ever existed, capable of forming 3000+ different products. Now this is something that has been common knowledge for almost all of human history, the earliest evidence of hemp and cannabis use is some 10000 years old.
I just saw your video for the first time that's amazing weather not letting this get out because I'm in the building material industry well that's a very good idea cuz he was always been an industrial idea to start with going back thousands of years it's nothing new cuz Nebraska grows it Wild
Awesome channel , I wanna buy a small piece of land cheap some were near So. Cal. And build my own house. A hemp house of course hopeto learn something viewing this channel. I see all theese active hemp people on the internet , but were are they in real world
My son is taking CAD classes and I want him to go to one of the workshops you have....when and where will you have your next workshop? He works for my brother in law...a structural engineer, I'm trying to get him interested as well.
This is genius and people need to know about this. Can this concept be ideal for underground pools or basements? I would like to build a home either in Florida or Georgia.
Hi Kevin, Can you cast an engine block, heads, intake, exhaust ? oh and Aquaponics someone asked about essential bacteria in the pipes and bed be effected by the natural antimicrobial compounds. Thanks
I heard the same complaints about losing jobs when steel studs came into the building industry . All the carpenters would lose there jobs. It just made more work of a different kind for the same kind of workers. Nothing changes just the materials.
Do you think that you could build a spaceship with Hemp, Kevin? And how do you think developing countries could best utilize this form of construction?
+Oliberty89 You got it! pour it spray it, or lay it. And you are correct again on the breathability. It's a key feature, the wicking ability of our walls is like a pair of good ol' wool socks.
Are you still doing the Adobe business I'd like to get more information on building a tiny house with your product. I live in northern California and we live on a fire ridge ..we need a fire safe home.
Well done, so informative. You my friend have fueled a fire in me. #hemphealth, #everythinggoesfullcircle Thank You!! Beyond your time friend! #Forwardthinking
What's the status on the business, did you guys get permits? Factor stuff going, move to Rino. Anyone have any insight to where this guy is doing good work at now?
I talked with him on the phone a couple of years ago and he said he had just gotten a couple million in backing from someone and was probably 6 months away from going operational. I saw some comments on other videos where people were saying that they had contracted with him to build and were awaiting the crew to show up and build. I'm not sure of more than that and just left an email on his site. I'm really hoping this takes off and develops. It's long overdue for intelligent building to take over.
Hi Shannon, Our application is a bit different than hempcrete, we use forms and build monolithic, without bricks and sticks. The cure time for one of our fresh poured panels is about 2 hours, and ready for install in a week.
I think they have surpassed any definition of the term government. America is stronger than those pussy half-arsed business men sending the poor to war, to kill for thrills of making money and grabbing land. The game is over, the people hate corruption
@Phoenix Born on the tax plantation indoctrinated for 12 plus years by the slave masters instructors all common sources for entertainment and news says they need masters and should obey them. Practically a mental lobotomy program at industrial scale.
+Deborah MacNeil Hi there. Our main supply currently comes from great farmer friends in Canada, as we continue to educate and watch the U.S. swiftly open its eyes. grow home!
My only wonder/worry is...wouldn't fire be an issue, considering hemp is a "easily burnable material" from what I understand?(example: electrical fires, or other sources)
@@rhondatapscott5791 I did not, I even had messaged him through Facebook and got no reply. Hopefully he is ok. I still think back to his method when thinking about building my future house.
8:00 If you are an American Citizen "The Government" you say you don't like is literally yourself, like it or not. Just because you have chosen to dislike the government of the USA (as I also do) does not change the fact that our government is an elected leadership that in turn is empowered to employ people who are also a part of government. All ultimately put in place by the vote of every American. Verbalizing distaste for the system alone does not dissociate the fact that we are the government as we have been empowered to cast a vote in every election. Taking action beyond words alone is the only way to truly dissociate yourself from being the government in my view. I really like the ideas you express about the use of Hemp and find myself upset with all the powerful, greed filled people who continue to stand in the way of the progression of such logical good for the people ideas as what you have proposed. Since we, the population of the states, have the power to legalize the recreational use of cannabis (not Hemp); it would seem the road to the use of Hemp as you propose may require the same type of movement if the federal level can not be moved by the people. You have my vote! Hemp is the natural fiber that was vilified for the benefit of quick long standing profits by the synthetic manufacture of much more environmentally harmful man made fibers. The U.S. Patent system no longer does what it was originally intended to do, Much like all of Government.
this video was published more than two years ago. I went to web site to learn more but was disapponted to find no progress has been made in getting this to market, unless your web site is two years out of date. Brilliant idea, but you need a better business plan, or business model, and better marketing. First, you should do what you said in this video, get the material certified by third party as viable building product then publish that. Given you have not in two years achieved that simple goal, it is esay to see why nothing else has happened, such as getting investors. You should also make better interlocking "bricks" samples to show the possibilities. Last, investors and potential customers need to see an actual building made from adobe hemp. From your web site and videos, this appears to be a good idea but something is holding it back. Not accusing you of anything, but just hoping it is not a scam. Hopefully, you can get faster results by rethinking your business model. Good luck.
I can't think of a better opportunity to get Hemp building products into Canada (and thereby lauch this slow-as-molasses source of building materials) than the rebuilding of homes lost in the BC forest fires. But, of course, now there's Texas too. These are driving up the price of lumber hugely, so a cheaper and available source of building products is welcome. Just sayin'

very interesting, I thank you sir, its nice to see how many uses and counting people are continuing to find with this amazing plant.
Kevin Hodge talks about Building Homes with Hemp.
Thanks for the video JimboJitsu
It's about TIME!!! :) You go guy!!!
how longs this last compared to stone buildings or concrete?
Glad to hear you are awake. Hope to talk to you soon about building us a house.
God bless you. It is things like this that will truly help save the world. I was first introduced to the potential in hemp about 20 years ago. Amazing to see what people like you are doing with it.
I love this!! Interested in building with hemp.
This guy is an American HERO what did they do to him 🇺🇸
Awesome video!!! #hempadobe #hemp is the world's premier renewable natural resource ... to lubricants, to building materials that can replace dry wall and plywood, to carpets, rope, laces, sails... the list goes on n on! #hempadobe
we love what you are doing for the planet!
I will be looking into building with this guy for sure. Been wanting to build a home like this. Think it's time.
Preach it man Preach it.
We are the change we have waited for.
Great Product, Hemp absorbs C02 and Basalt,Magnesium howabout DieRite. Fossilises and lasts thousands of years, brilliant. More videos please.

Any word on doing business yet on building homes?@@Hempadobehomes
Hello. This is amazing. I would love a home built out of hemp.
I think if more people share this information more people would understand the difference between hemp and weed.
I have jewelry and more built from hemp. it's Super Strong and Longlasting.
Great Informative information on Hemp, a truly revolutionary product to utilize in building and constructing. I want you do build me a hemp home!!
right on +Angel !
Totally Awesome Kevin & I want one! Shared you all over on FB.
+DiAnna Malone rock on! Thank you!!!!
+Hemp Adobe Homes Just Shared you Again. With all well.... you are Aware! it's good to refresh memories while they have them....

I’m working with a 3D house printing company.
Now with Hemp being legalized nationwide, I would imagine this is fantastic news. Looking forward to current updates.

first of all you are awesome... i wanna build in brazil. do you think its possible?
lets get a reshare of this going around!
The sad part of putting the effort in that there is never a reply. I am trying to put life back into his videos!
Love the Video and Shared Thank you :) Peace Love and Happiness
Any new updates or Videos?? love this stuff
We better start build like this before the rest of the world does and we get left behind in this kind of construction.

That's amazing that you can build.. a 1200 ft square foot house for $8500 - 12,000.
How does that look today 2018?
Awesome channel , I wanna buy a small piece of land cheap some were near So. Cal. And build my own house. A hemp house of course hopeto learn something viewing this channel. I see all theese active hemp people on the internet , but were are they in real world
Right on F. M. great to know you. Got some new stuff coming out!
Nice
What an awesome presentation! Thank you so much! Imagine what the people could achieve if it weren't for governmental interference. Subscribed.
Excellent video, there's a company that is building a factory in Cleveland Ohio made out of Hemp it will provide jobs for 600 people.
Great job
Changing the game
Can u retrofit to existing homes
I would love to check application with Park Model RV sizes and shapes. I imagine for Puerto Rico this could be a lifesaver.
Excellent Innovation here! Love it!
where can i see the building??
Hahaha! Watching in Hawai'i. Looking forward to building w/ HEMP grown in the 808 😎
My son is taking CAD classes and I want him to go to one of the workshops you have....when and where will you have your next workshop?
He works for my brother in law...a structural engineer, I'm trying to get him interested as well.
If you are close to Colorado, you might want to look us up in the Spring.
Imagine if everyone just started planting the heck out of Industrial Hemp all over the country. Can't stop progress.......Merica!
This is genius and people need to know about this. Can this concept be ideal for underground pools or basements? I would like to build a home either in Florida or Georgia.
I would like to join these efforts and use this healthy housing product in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
very interesting to watch
Thanks +Tim McManus
Hi Kevin, Can you cast an engine block, heads, intake, exhaust ? oh and Aquaponics someone asked about essential bacteria in the pipes and bed be effected by the natural antimicrobial compounds. Thanks
how is the 12 inch thick wall r80, r value of hempcrete is roughly 2 per inch
My thoughts exactly. As soon as I heard that, I lost nearly all confidence in this presentation.
@@mothanwrdz it is not just hemp . it is also foam.. and think you are right. Foam is around 6.7 r so it is just another version. He was not clear
I'd like more info about using hempcrete the same as you would build with cob (as a stucco over earthbags)
Do you build in Canada?
Smart thinking sir
I like your thinking...
Can we make the aquaponic set up in hemp instead of pvc pipes and plastic tanks?
Yes
Hemp & adobe
USA
Philadelphia Pa
Beautiful concept
I would like to see some finished houses.
seems that if moisture gets in through cracks or any other way you risk mold and rot of the hemp
I heard the same complaints about losing jobs when steel studs came into the building industry . All the carpenters would lose there jobs. It just made more work of a different kind for the same kind of workers. Nothing changes just the materials.
Our Churches want to team up with the Hemp Farmers :)
Did you ever get a reply?
I’m working with a 3D house printing company.
LOVE IT......ONWARD..!!!.....
Hempcrete is like $132 per sqft. What is the sqft cost for Hemp Adobe? This is great material.
+going2sleep I got my answer later in video $80 per sqft.
+going2sleep good job. Imagine getting a brand new, custom, high performance, 1,200 sq. ft. home for less than $100k.
Could you build/use this hempe structure..on a non concrete foundation?
Do you think that you could build a spaceship with Hemp, Kevin? And how do you think developing countries could best utilize this form of construction?
Is there a video where it shows how the house will be part by part fixed up together within one whole day...???
+Teh Choo Siang great idea. We'll get on it!
Would this last in areas with excessive moisture?
+Nathan Drew you need a foundation, but it is breathable. Look up the ashville hemp house. It can be sprayed over steel or other frames.
+Oliberty89 You got it! pour it spray it, or lay it. And you are correct again on the breathability. It's a key feature, the wicking ability of our walls is like a pair of good ol' wool socks.
Are you still doing the Adobe business I'd like to get more information on building a tiny house with your product. I live in northern California and we live on a fire ridge ..we need a fire safe home.
Also, can you make custom counter tops currently?
+Susan Solleder absolutely! with any kind of finish quality you like.
Well done bro!
This is great!
This is awesome 👍
AWESOME!!!
do you have an australian outlet?
Can this material be used for driveways?
+Susan Solleder driveways to tarmacs we have said. By using our panel system, you'd use 40% less material than concrete.
where and how can I get 1???
good stuff.
Can this be done now legally? Can the HEMP be grown now legally without any problems?
Well done, so informative. You my friend have fueled a fire in me. #hemphealth, #everythinggoesfullcircle Thank You!! Beyond your time friend! #Forwardthinking
Do you have any vid's of a complete house construction?
+dontymck thanks for wanting to see more, super close, fantastic things going on inside..
Brilliant Idea Kevin Out Flank Em
My hero....
Can you do a build in Southern California?
What's the status on the business, did you guys get permits? Factor stuff going, move to Rino. Anyone have any insight to where this guy is doing good work at now?

how long is the drying time for the Hempcrete?
Hi Shannon, Our application is a bit different than hempcrete, we use forms and build monolithic, without bricks and sticks. The cure time for one of our fresh poured panels is about 2 hours, and ready for install in a week.
I love my country but I hate our government
I think they have surpassed any definition of the term government.
America is stronger than those pussy half-arsed business men sending the poor to war, to kill for thrills of making money and grabbing land.
The game is over, the people hate corruption
Power corrupts that is government. Public servants who are really masters of foolish slaves.
Sadly... America's about to (2018) learn just how deep the cesspool is in DC.. it will be well above the horses bridal.
Good lets put the shame parade on notice!

Two question what is the block part of that block made of ( the Whiteish gray stuff)
Can you make me bullet resisnt plates with this ?
Curious as to the cost charged by your company per square foot..
are these walls breathable?
Love this! How do we contact you and join the movement
That's awesome.
Where do you get your hemp from?
+Deborah MacNeil Hi there. Our main supply currently comes from great farmer friends in Canada, as we continue to educate and watch the U.S. swiftly open its eyes. grow home!
+Hemp Adobe Homes I think canada makes over 200 million dollars a year from hemp products
My only wonder/worry is...wouldn't fire be an issue, considering hemp is a "easily burnable material" from what I understand?(example: electrical fires, or other sources)
When you mix hemp with lime it's fire resistance
He said in the video that it was fire resistant for 4 hours which is astronomically better than current building materials.
the only thing is can it be used in canada? where it gets -45 below zero without cracking.
I visited a hemp farm in Manitoba Canada very cool, didn't inhale LOL
I think there are no issues in Canada
2019 update please!!! :)
There was not any reply that I could find.
Did you get a reply?

for sure Oscar. While growing hemp is restricted, using it, especially in the manner we do to build and insulate with - heck ya! it's legal.
