LOOK AT EVERYTHING including the workers ( even if they are friends and family) and do not forget to add all the little parts, like screws, nails, buckets, tools... damn ever gone to a hardware store, even this small stuff will add up quickly.... but hey you start building on your house and than come back after you tried this build with just 5k and failed... miserably..

      Resilient walls on Earthquakes too! I would have brought the foundation piers up just a bit higher to allow for water not to impact the wood. If you have termites a copper metal and skirted barrier around the lower portion of the wood piers would be good. I think it also improves the look. Back in the day, old adobe homes had a roof layered with micaceous clay. Acted both as a seal and a primitive but effective radiant barrier. Do like this very much including the wall plaster mixing crew!

      @@leovieyra3723 if the roof is done with venting low side to ridge is perfectly legal and works naturally (hot air rises). You can use radiant barrier foil stapled to the underside of the roof rafters (need a dead air space for reradiation of incoming solar radiation back thru the roof) The radiant barrier thus slows the ceiling insulation from heating by thermal convection. As such, if the ceiling runs at a temperature less than your body temp, you will feel cool. Another technique for summer airflow is buried underground cooling tubes going to a low point register entry on your floor. Then, to get flow you run a couple of registers high on the opposite wall. Figuring some of this out can be rule of thumb but an architect in passive and active solar heating and cooling can finalize the concept.

      Adobe and Straw bale are some of the least energy intensive ways of doing building. They also, if designed correctly for passive solar gain in winter and passive cooling in summer are a long term virtually low to no annual fossil fuels input homes. A very small wood stove would provide any supplemental needed

    Ok for all the uninformed..... straw has zero calorific value unlike hay so straw bales do NOT get eaten or catch on fire unlike hay! YOU CANNOT USE HAY BALES ! If rendered correctly pests do not get in to nest so I do have concerns this house wasn't wrapped in small diameter chicken wire before rendering. Some of the oldest existing buildings in the world are straw bale, cob or adobe these houses breath so are less prone to mold have insulation ( both heat and noise ) qualities that cannot be matched in modern construction and due to their weight hold together in high winds better than slapped together match box homes people pay way too much for these days. I don't understand why this was $20000 I hope it included the price of the land as normally straw bale homes cost a fraction of modern homes they are however very labour intensive!

    Beautiful home, and good work everyone. I've built several, from garages, residences, to vacation rentals. The 20k has to be material only though, not counting land, labor, permits... etc. Labor is the big factor, and skilled labor isn't cheap. Shoot unskilled labor isn't cheap. So if you have anywhere from 2 to 6 folks working... what's that add up to? Let's be conservative and say 2 a day, for the year it took to complete. Not counting any trades bills (hvac, plumbing hookup, elec hookup), and you set labor at 15$ an hour. The average american works 260 days a year, the average construction worker works 10 hr days at minimum. So that's 39000, per set of hands.... so 78000 in labor cost. Consertively then, this is a 98000$ building. That's if you do all your own electrical, plumbing, hvac, and already own every tool/implement/machine you will need. Not trying to piss in anyones cheerios, but unless you have TONS of free skilled labor and land, you can't get anywhere near this with 20k. Great work though, loved the build, loved the video, and you've given me some good ideas. Keep building and growing your skills!

      Of course, you are right. I suspect the $20K is material cost only. Does not include his ‘free’-DIY labour. Of course does not include the price of land, etc. Straw bale homes are much cheaper for materials, but much higher for labour compared to modern construction. If you have the free time to do it yourself, it can be much cheaper. But, very labour intensive. If paying for labour, the overall cost is more similar to modern construction.

      @@kricketkitty Stone from my property, discarded wood, re-purposed corrugated metal roof, windows, and door. Biggest expenses were concrete and piping for the plumbing. That was to get it livable. I’ve spent probably another $5000 over the past two years building out my solar system and for upgraded finishing materials on the inside, plus with that money I also built two guest cabins on my property which I rent out to guests. I had someone spend the whole summer on my property last year and made $5000 from that one cabin alone in 3 months. Those cabins have replaced my work income, so I’m retired now at 37 and spend most of my time optimizing my property for food production and making my place a desirable vacation destination in the countryside.

    I hate the negativity. Straw bale homes have proven to stand the test of time they also are no more of a fire hazard than any home other than steel or brick. Not to mention the thermal propertys which are excellent. Thinking outside the box is exactly what the banks dont want. A 20 year morgage? No thankyou.

    Nice build! How did it cost 20,000 Euros? You used around 400 bales (each bale costs usually 2.5 Euros) so thats 1K, and your wooden planks must've cost another 1000 Euros...so that's 2K total right? ould you give me the cost breakdown as I'm confused, and wish to build my own - maybe I'm overlooking/underestimating certain costs - thanks!

As some common sense should tell you that some bales alone do not make a house.. plumbing( pipes, fittings, water taps etc) , electrics (breaker box, cables, sockets, circuit breakers, etc. ), workers ( certified electrician, plumber and even if they are friends and family), wood (framing and panels), flooring materials, structural engineer (maybe not in this case), approvals (maybe not in this case ), tools and small materials, machine rents, fuel ( transportation+ machines (generator etc)), kitchen+ bathroom, heating, windows and doors, etc.. I can easily see a lot of positions that would would make a couple of grand.. and added you will get to 20k very easily...
      just for electrics alone you will need a couple of thousand, not to mention kitchen and bathroom.. then you need heating.. damn how can you not see that if you ad up everything you can get to 20k easy..
      also 1500h and so many pictures showing groups of people helping, even if they are only friends and family, would you let them work entirely for free? ( no food, no money for transportation and work?)... just do not build a house if you think that´s ok..

    I have two question if by any chance you stubble upon my message and have time to answer.
    1- in order to get the inclination of the roof you seem to only have added a piece of angled wood underneath each rafter, Is that so ? Can you give more detail (are their length only the size of the upper plate? How do you fix them ? ...)
    2- Before putting your plastic membrane on the straw you seem to pour sawdust, is that so ? Why for? We are planning as well to not glue to any support but just lay it on the straw bales. Maybe the sawdust allows for a better contact?
    Thanks and happy journey

      straw has zero calorific value unlike hay so straw bales do NOT get eaten or catch on fire unlike hay! YOU CANNOT USE HAY BALES ! some of the oldest existing buildings in the world are straw bale, cob or adobe these houses breath so are less prone to mold have insulation ( both heat and noise ) qualities that cannot be matched in modern construction and due to their weight hold together in high winds better than slapped together match box homes. I don't understand why this $20000 normally straw bale homes cost a fraction of modern homes they are however very labour intensive!

      @philxdev 4 года назад +3

      if you do not see a problem, there generally is none.. but if you get some spots you can fix them.. the most important thing is, that the straw is completely and perfectly enclosed by the clay, and it helps to have more overhang on the roof to keep the clay wall dry, also some mineral plaster on the outside can help with that in addition to the roof^^.. keeping the inside less moist with good ventilation also helps.. so a cross heat exchange does help
