I’m planning to build a hemp home so I appreciate this. I just don’t see the need for the extra exterior you put on as the hemp with the lime stucco works well as insulation etc. and remains more breathable.
Hey! I wanted to use cladding and everything feels and looks good for now, slowly going into the finishing phase. Kudos on the plan to build with hemp. I would change my frame to a double stud frame now, but it is what it is. Maybe for the next project. If somebody sprays hempcrete in your region - would suggest to use the offer as it save an awful lot of time.
Overall very nice build. Only thing I would change would be double furring, vertical on wall, then horizontal for installing your vertical cladding. Current install does not have drainage plane to bottom and stops ventilation from going all the way up. In 10 years your fiberboard will be rotten.
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!
Why did you nail the boards that covered the house on the outside apart from each other and not join them together to form an enclosed air cushion as additional insulation? Is it a new system for insulation in cold climates? Another question, were the boards you used burned or painted black or something? Does that serve to insulate from the cold? I had never seen anything like that, very cool and cozy house, what about the cost of the proyect? cheers ;)
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!
@@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.
@@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.
beautiful work. I hope you have enough R value/U value in those walls for what looks like a really cold climate - without having to burn wood for heating/cooking.
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.
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.
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.
Hempcrete is just insulation, right? With several exceptions, the r-value of the insulation is really the only thing that matters over the life of the home (reduced fuel to heat and cool the home blows the building phase out of the water). There seems to be better alternatives.
Yep, just infill for the wood frame. For now I enjoy it. Will see how it will hold up this winter, because finally will start heating it. Local hemp, local lime, local wood. I don't see many alternatives for natural building at 57 latitude. Could have used sawdust, but hurd has way more air pockets. What alternative do you suggest?
@@izjusts Hempcrete R=2.1 vs cellulose R=3.6 or wood fiber batt R=3.8. If your only concerns were interior emissions for health, hempcrete is great, about as low as you could go, but if your concern was emissions to the earth, using almost twice the fuel to heat and cool as other eco-friendly alternatives is maybe not a great idea. And lime is the energy intensive ingredient in concrete, so lots of fossil fuels in making lime.
@@brokenrecord3523 Well, critters love cellulose and wood fiber and it's pretty impossible to make the construction so, than none gets in. Lime and hemp is better in that way. Why do you think it takes twice the fuel to heat and cool?
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 ;)
Very inspiring! What was the wind insulation and why did you choose to use it? I don't understand how wind would get through the weatherboard and even why wind touching hempcrete would be a problem.
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.
@@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.
Why would you mix wall systems, normally you don't put anything over hempcrete inside or out other then lime plaster?? Your zip paneling is going to rot
Awesome job on this! loving the music vibe, su sugi ban and Hempcrete! Oh yea....
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice work!
Good work! Looking forward to part II.
Thanks! I'm looking forward for part II as well. Just have to wait for warm weather to start work with lime.
Thank you for sharing. Very much. Following 🌿 Well done and congratulations.
Who votes for part II ? (besides me)
It's in the works, working every day to finish sooner :) So I vote for par II too.
🚜nice man, respect!🚜
Thanks 👍
Tik relaksējoši skatīties .... nice🥇

Tip: for sanity, turn off the sound and drop the play speed to as low as poss. X.25 works ok.
Yes, I like muting these. And if I wanted to see more detail I’d definitely slow it down.
almost perfect. good job.
Thanks, ;)

Nice building. I am also going to build a hempcrete house in Netherlands soon.
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?

Hempcrete has a very high insulation rating …likely more than tests show even. Just Biofiber is a good resource with some info.
Good job bro !
Greatings from Lithuanian forest !
Ačiū!
@@izjusts 🤗
when placing the clading vertical. its best to first put a row of vertical "stoflatten" and tah the horizontal "panlatten".
Yeah, I know about the different latten, but doing some maintenance, everything looked fine. Haven't finished everything yet though.
great video.... How long did it take to complete your build?
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.
this is an awesome self build. what type of climate are you in? what ratio of materials did you use to make the hempcrete? thanks
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.
Amazing! Love it! What did you do for the ceiling? What is the Loose hemp insulation sitting on? Thanks
Thanks! The insulation is sitting on 1x4 planks, that are alternated. Holds up fine and nothing is trickling down.
Nice........could u go a little faster ??
What is that wind insulation?
Hi! It's wood fiber board. nordicfibreboard.com/en/products/isoplaat/wind-barrier-board

@@izjusts Because the R-value is less which means it is a less effective insulator,.
Nice and inspiring project! I haven't seen any electrical installation? did I miss it or you plan on doing it later? Or of grid?
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 ;)
Sveiks! Ja nav noslēpums, cik tas izmaksāja? Ļoti novērtētu, ja spētu iziet cauri pozīcijām, varam PM.
Droši, atraksti uz norādīto e-pastu, tad izstāstīšu.
The black planks. Is it wood or hempcrete?
Wood (Yakisugi)
Whats the recept of hemp and lime? Did You put cement?
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.
Does the wood fiber board allow the hemp to breathe well? Very cool build, great job!
Yes, It's breathable. I have them installed on my sauna as well and have no issues.

@@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.

@@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?
in what proportions was hempcreat?
Classic - 3:1:1 (hurd-lime-water)
Really!
Didn't need those last two layers

Why would you mix wall systems, normally you don't put anything over hempcrete inside or out other then lime plaster?? Your zip paneling is going to rot
Well, we'll see. Do you have a hempcrete house?
Wow you’re proven timber framing is a waste of resources and time. Why not just go with hemp blocks??
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.
