I'm not sure why but I enjoy how much you appreciate the free coffee at the hardware store
Such a fun bit somehow!
Are you sure it's free? I think they expect a "tip" haha 🌈 @@holzschwein0
clay plasterer here:
There was one short clip in which the clay board was stacked tight under the ceiling beam. I would recommend leaving some room there. the whole house will be moving (arbeiten) especially since you will add a lot more weight upstairs. it might lead to cracks and falling off of your finish (Feinputz). just something to consider.
aside from that i really enjoy seeing you so hyped about natural materials!!
It's really satisfying to watch a house renovation but it's SOOOO much better and so much more satisfying to watch an eco-friendly house renovation.
And I'm learning so much (not that I have a house to renovate. But I love not killing the planet and I love learning).
Thank you Laura!
US architect here. This is blowing my mind. Clay plaster available at your local hardware store?! Clay drywall!? Amazing!
I’m German and I don’t think she picked these up at the hardware store, I’ve never seen that in Germany. I think they were delivered by the same company she was working with for the wall bricks 👍
@@ohboilien Most of this was delivered by the manufacturer, indeed, but it seems the plaster was indeed from the hardware store. It doesn't look like OBI though, so maybe it's slightly specialized?
ikr? I'm no architect but I've done a lot of work on a fair number of houses and _nothing_ about how this is getting built is like anything I've ever encountered. Mind also blown! xD
@@daanwilmer
Bubenzer Baustoffe in Wiehl. It's the kind of store that is localised on the outskirts and usually sells primarily to commercial builders.
I'm also an architect, I can say that the only similar products I've seen in the Antipodes (AU & NZ) is a cement /straw cladding sheet, though I've only come across product lit /samples (from tech reps) for external applications.
For anyone who doesn’t know, clay dust/silica dust particles can harm your lungs! If you’re creating or around a lot of clay dust a mask is a good idea
Yeah, as a Potter that was my first thought..
@@tadeyishusame.
@@tadeyishu Harry?
Especially with that mortar. Oh, and this advice also goes for drywall, drywall compound, on both install and demolition. Mask up!
Yes! Silicosis is awful awful way to go and you usually don’t see the effect until later in life.
I love the new laser powers.
Really handy to get them for this section of the build! 😊👍
That was so random. Got a laugh and a smile from me.
FesTool electric finger!
Yeah. I'd love one of those, looks really useful.
@@Scoots1994 just Felix showing off!⚡
Wonder if she got training from This Old Tony
I dont know why but I am super hyped on the clay. It is cool how they managed to replicate modern techniques with old skool, natural materials.
Germans are always SO far ahead on things like this !
I remember back in 1978 talking to 2 young Germans on a flight. They were talking about their "Green Party" & sustainability.
All these years later and the USA is lagging behind on this, in my opinion. And for those who disagree, all I have to say is "bottled water". Instead of buying gallons, or a filter for your tap water, and bringing a drink holder, many folks buy CASES of 8 Oz. water bottles. I'm sure many don't make it to the recycling stream.
Until you try to hang a tv to the wall... it honestly seems super brittle, you can see it splitting around some of the fixation screws
@@tiloalo I felt that too. I wonder if adding more organic stringy materials would make it look less like it's gonna fall off on its own...
We love going along with you to the hardware store. I think sometimes people who aren't makers/builders don't realize how exciting it is to get a new tool. It's not just about having another possession but unlocking a potential that you didn't have previously and developing a new skill. It's so much fun.
When done, this house is going to be super quiet and super thermally efficient. I have never seen clay products made into the products presented here.
Laura please use a mask when dumping the clay powder into the water. I did a two year refurb of a place in France and gave myself sarcoidosis and messed up my lungs. Others are warning below too. Stay safe!
Biology and Environmental Science teacher here. Crazy.... Why didn't someone do this sooner? I steel framed my house and only had one pick up load of "trash" that went to the landfill. The rest recycled. Keep it up. It's only done once per house... for the most part.
Wie gut passt bitte die Musik ab 8:00 👍😃. Felix, du bist sooo gut ❤. Und das Haus wird super schön!
I wonder how it will hold up to nails, anchors, etc over the years compared to drywall. Love the idea of staying with natural materials, though.
Me too, I did see some splits happening when the screw was put in for instance. Cool material though.
I instantly asked myself the same question. This aspect will surely improve in time.
some kind of bracket would probably be good
Gypsum is also a natural product
I am wondering the same, how strong is it compare to drywall and what it can hold up to... not TV obviously (unless screwed to studs) 🤔😀
I'm always a bit anxious when I hear "brand new material". I hope there's an opportunity for a followup some time in the future to see how it holds up.
Yes, never be a first adopter…..
The sheets are a new thing, but clay walls are literally ancient, being the very first material people egnet built houses with. And Germany has an unbroken tradition for working with clay walls for the half-timbered houses.
clay sheets are not new. just clay sheets with paper are new. maybe there is also a new clay sand mix used for the sheets. its a very low risk
@@shedlife1783 Never be a first adopter _unless_ you can document it in a vlog.
I could watch a 100 hours of your videos
There is a reason your house journey went the way it did , cuz look at what you are able to create ! So fantastic to see all the natural products being used. The house is so beautiful !! Congrats on on the hard work and thank you for sharing all that your doing !!
It's exciting seeing the progress after all the setbacks and all the different materials being used.
Give me natural stuff any time! Good for the planet and good for the beings on it. Earth to earth, dust to dust - but in real life. The mud plaster looks very appetizing - maybe it will be a gingerbread house 😋 And by the way: great video art 👍
A very green house 🩲🧤👒🐸🦖🪲♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️
so amazing how you highlight these sustainable materials! You're doing a great service to getting these more known
It's so strange that prefabricates from clay and straw are somehow new products- that said, I'm really happy they're being developed:)
Prost, happy new year!
It's coming on really nicely. Really enjoying the progress on the house, week by week.
Now that the walls are going in properly, are you leaving any treasures for the next owners to find?
Ich beneide Laura jetzt schon für das DeLuxxxxe Raumklima 😮❤
Good look! If this stuff had been around in the US 40 years ago, I'd have used it when building my sound studio. The clay plaster looks like you won't be needing the typical three coats and all the miserable sanding in between them. Happy New Year by the way!
I wish we did more stuff like this in the US. So much building material goes straight to the landfill, whether it’s from demo or somebody screwing up the new stuff. Too many builders here say “Not my problem” when it may only take a little bit of effort to reuse or recycle materials. I would love to see some Japanese-style burnished walls when you are done. Can you do that with the clay instead of using plaster?
Ich rate euch dringend überall dort wo der Elektriker Dosen setzen muss OSB hinter die Lehmplatte zu schrauben. Das wird ein Graus werden die Hohlwanddosen dort haltbar zu bekommen!!!
Gilt auch für Lampenauslässe, oder dort wo man schon weiss das schwerere Sachen gehängt werden, dort am besten wirklich eine Platte an die UK schrauben.
The house is very beautiful. She is really standing out as something very special..
Swaaa-weeet! Wow, having the proper tools, materials and team brought together makes for an awesome result…great video. Thks
I think the fabric / flex Laura mentions will be some kind of render mesh, which will reinforce the plaster and prevent it from cracking along the joins of the boards. These boards are so exciting! I would have loved to use these in my house 5 years ago!
Love the new Leatherman laser multitool. Truly can take it anywhere when you install it in the finger!
Great music for mortar mixing Felix! Your editing is always fabulous.
After all you had to destroy in your house, I love to see the house coming together. I can't wait to see the next video.
Was skeptical at first about the clay, but now it seems like its almost a miracle building material! Super, super geil.
It’s like modern buildings merging back to adobe style/cob style houses. Pretty neat for companies to realize how great cob is as a building material and insulator.
Looking good! 🤎
Happy 2024!!🎉
Laser Laura!! Love it!!! 🏳🌈
Does Festool also make that handy finger laser cutter? =D
Yes, I am an early tester…
I feel like that house grew since you bought it. It seems huge compared to the first time you went in.
I love how much care you are putting into the materials that this house is built with. Keep up the good work!
This build seems to be so well insulated that you could heat it with a candle. No so in the USA, throw it up and hope it stands - but we really pay premium for shoddy workmanship. Very interesting on your building materials.
In part that is just due to the very strict German building codes, but she is building a remarkably well built house even for German standards
The use of natural materials throughout the rebuild/remodel is a wonderful idea!!
Wow Laura, your making a lot of people jealous with how incredible your house is looking! The thermal and acoustic properties of your walls is incredible! Your going to be so happy with it :D
That looks like quite an interesting material and has so many possibilities for the final look and feel. I’m excited to see how well it performs over time. That’s certainly going to be one cozy home when complete!
Looks like a very cool product, should the mesh not have gone over the joints before being filled? Its what you would do when drywalling so interested to hear why its done this way. Very cool though love the fact its just clay, reminds me of the cob house my friend built ❤️❤️
I think this stuff gets mesh over the whole thing, so no need
Love checking in with you!
Would've loved to have an color update on the clay finish by the staircase?
I have so much envy for the quality of materials available in Europe in general and Germany especially. I remember about 8 years ago visiting Germany, and in the cottage I stayed in I would open and close doors and drawers over and over just to marvel at the weight and quality, and yes, elegance.
Free Coffee. At the entrance of the store. CIVILISATION!!!
Baumwolltapete ist bei den Lehmwänden ne super gute Idee für die Innenräume.
Gotta love the automated captions translating German "Stir real quick" into "Where my drawers". 😆
Good that there is manual captions as well.
Nice, the big benefit that your house being so old can now breathe well. I suspect a nice lime plaster and maybe a mesh will finish the job? Sand and cement is good, but your old house wasn't designed for it, so everything you are doing is a positive.
My house is also 120 years old, but made from stone and it suffered badly with condensation, so over the years we have made the effort to use traditional materials that allow the house to breathe and now the problems will soon be gone hopefully.
I need one of those Festool laser finger attachments ! 👍
Wow awesome! Love your special effects laser cutting with your finger. 😍😂🤣😂🤣
I love watching these videos.
I love the laser finger. Such interesting material for the walls, and nice to have such excellent tools. Can't wait to see the finished product.
so great that you show it and that it exists, hope there are some companies that take it to heart and try to use it. it may well be that it takes time to set up but clean-ups so much faster we have to think about the planet we live on and thank you for that, it means so much
Looks like a great product for where you live 👍 From how easily it breaks under movement, would not recommend for an earthquake prone zone. But that's why we have to continue being innovative all the time because very little can be one-size-fits-all 😊
It is so awesome. I wish I had a house with clay walls! (I have nearly 100-year-old oak behind plaster/drywall that you can't put a nail through). I love your green sensibilities and dedication. Awesome teamwork!
I think this would result in a very quiet house.
Looks just a little bit harder to install, yet much better than drywall. Enjoy your new house. 😊
When doing so much joints, get a hawk , best thing I ever added to my tools. You can add, remove so easy some materials, you can bring more with you, without dragging along a bucket. 100% recommend.
So interesting about clay walls vs drywall. And that it’s a natural product 🎉
Super power laser😂😂😂!!! Love your work 🦘🦘
This not only looks good , It feels good. Great material.
I love how you don't need to translate "geil" for your audience... 😄
Nice!!! Can’t wait to see it next week.
You can put the backing paper in the garden too.
You're making such good progress and is nice to see the house coming along. Thanks.
That is some material to keep in mind building with! I learn so much watching these videos in my search for a rescue farmhouse! 🧡 thank you!
you should check if the clay drywall contains boron salt, or some other type of flame retardant, before you chuck it in the garden... it probably does to meet fire safety standards.
I'm surprised the paper side goes against the studs? I guess that's so the plaster applies better? The special screw bit is almost essential to this application in my opinion. Really interesting episode.
The frontside get a special cover. She said a mesh matrial.
I was thinking the same about the paper side because on drywall the paper would be on the front.
@@emiliohhDrywall has paper on both sides
I know but why does that only have it on one side and on the side that goes against the studs.
@@niceguy191
Those external walls be THICC!!!! dual cavities and a masonry core.
Cool stuff. It would work really well for some of our older buildings.
Gypsum used for plasterboard is also an eco friendly material. But harder to recycle than clay.
Clay makes a nicer video though 😅
It’s really cool your building with all these new materials!
In love with the progress
Laser finger! Clay walls? This is wild.
Love what you're doing with the house Laura. Huge fan of the clay products. I've taken on some fairly big projects like this in the past and the amount of stress involved can be overwhelming...so glad to see you keeping your head up and powering through. It will be well worth it, you're building something special.
Danke liebe Laura, Du verwendest gesunde und neue Baumaterialien von denen ich noch nie was gehört hatte. Gibt für viele Renovierungsarbeiten bessere Alternativen. Weiter so und viel Freude beim renovieren im Team.
Awesome !
I need one of those finger laser cutters 😁
SUPER cool product
Thanks for exploring all these alternative products. I watch your channel due to the sense of play, but these new products are great to learn about. Bonus!
It's so wild watching how different it is from here (Canada) to Germany. Love it!
Looks like great material. And great teamwork to get the job done...
Frohes Neues Jahr, wünsche Ihnen immer viel Gesundheit und viel Glück!
Very interesting system! They have a solution for everything.
I love your house project. I am curious as to how thick your walls will be when you are finished and what you think the final R Value will be? Keep up the good work.
thanks so much! Its a very interesting vid!🦌💌❤️🔨🙏👍
Shoutout to the (water)spray bottle. I have the same, and it's the best!
Nice vibe in the video. More like the originals that got you popular years ago.
I want one of those finger lasers! Is that a Festool product? Loving the all natural clay boards! ❤
Festool green.
Or is it a Learherman laser?
I love these videos so much. Gonna be building or renovating in a few years and it's so good to learn about natural products from you! My brother is a Handwerker too but quite conservative, so this is a lot of helpful perspective.
Also, it's just really enjoyable and satisfying to watch you build this house. And to watch a professional do their thing.
I was going to comment you were crazy for not putting in insulation into an exterior wall, and then I remembered the entire wall is insulation
👍 Fantastic!!! 🙂
Laser finger! you did a This Old Tony and I love that ;P
Thanks for sharing this product. Seems so much better than drywall.
I’d love to see what you’ll do for the ceilings. This clay sheet product doesn’t look like it can hold up to the sagging of a ceiling
Looks like a great product. Certainly greener than drywall. Do you need to do anything special in damp areas like bathrooms? Glad that you have reached the fun stage of the project where you are putting things back in place.
How do you know it's greener than drywall?
@@C4Ariesbecause Laura chose it. She always seems to go as "green" as she can go!
@@C4AriesI'm wondering the same. Transportation differences alone might make this stuff far less "green" if you look at something like carbon emissions for example
Awesome stuff Laura! 😃👍🏼👊🏼
