This year I will renovate a cottage house in the Hungarian countryside, also with natural and recycled materials. This series is so inspiring, thank you, Laura! 😇
Hopefully yours goes more smoothly than this future masterpiece has gone😂
Szia Levente!
Ha nem ismered, ajánlom az Otthon Projekt nevű csatornát is itt a YT-on, csak mert ők is ezzel a szemlélettel újítanak fel egy szintén vidéki házat. Nem ilyen professzionális, mint Laura, de az is jó. 😊
Remélem Laura nem haragszik az ajánlásért, nem konkurencia, más lépték. 😊
Nálam gyakorolhatsz 😅
Mondjuk ffiként lehet h more fun, nekem nem mindig az
There are videos in hungarian as well and there in particùlar there is a hungarian master of buliding with clay and he is against the glass fiber. The netting is made out of glass fibers but its covered in plastic the clay doesnt like to stick to plastic plus the holes are too small...
Here is a shout out to all the people helping out Laura with labor, tips, advice, technical support, funds, supplies, likes, and comments. And most of all Thank You Laura ❣️
Laura, I hope when you finish with your house you just buy another one and this saga continues!
Do not forgett to pull CAT6 network cables into the walls, before you close all up.
Trust me not everything works with WIFI
Nice work so far!
I grew up in the beautiful desert between Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. My grandmother lived in a house that was part adobe. I always wanted to hang out in that part as it was quiet and temperate. This modern use of ancient materials is thrilling to see.
Germany is seeing really bad heat waves recently. These materials help massively.
@@alis49281Yes, and they are so much cleaner to produce, they are a huge part of the answer for a sustainable future.
Great touch having the rounded edges to the windows..
This is related to thermal insulation. Our window is 8 cm deep in the wall the windows turn open inside (no sliding!) so a 45° on the edges help to open it fully. Additionally: the insulation forms a triangle, which is beneficial for the temperature gradient towards the window.
We call that round edge "bull nose"
(Me, a Canadian artist with 0 interest in house building myself) this is fascinating I love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
What about outside wall? It looks wet and it is dangerous. Remember Your Carriage. You may have huge water problem if You don’t take care outside Yours house.
Liebe Laura, so schön, dass Du das altgediente und bestbewehrte Naturmaterial Lehm so liebevoll neu vorstellst. Ich durfte jüngst Altbauwände mit Kalk verspachteln und war ähnlich begeistert. Anders als bei der Verarbeitung industrieller Fertigprodukte durfte ich mich bei der Arbeit mit diesem Naturbaustoff über mein Handwerkersein hinaus als Künstler erfahren. Das Material passte sich meiner Tagesform an und ließ sich nach belieben modellieren und gestalten. Ein echter Genuß, welcher die Arbeit zu einem sinnlichen Erlebnis werden lässt. Und garantiert im Anschluss eine enorme Wohnqualität. Schön, dass Du Dir die Arbeit machst. Mögest Du ganz viel Freude mit Deinen Wänden haben und sie Dir viele weitere Inpirationen schenken. Lieber Gruß, Ulrich
Walls! It feels so trivial but the joy I felt upon seeing some nearly finished walls in Liselotte is indescribable :D What a journey
The moment a build goes from "This is a collection of assembled parts" to "This is the thing" is sooo satisfying.
Glad to see lower level chimney removed just in time for the work on the walls. 👍 And now real walls with no ANTS ‼
Whispering “Geil” in the microphone made me crack so bad 😂😂
Construction ASMR (Laura's Version)
That was so good. And it was so heartfelt and full of excitement ^^
Mega, alter!
I applaud this channel for its efforts in bringing the fabulous word _geil_ to a wider audience.
Wow! it's the techniques from the past but modernized for better insulation and longer lasting. Brilliant. All the investment and hard work now, will bring you a warm, safe home for DECADES to come. It is such a joy to see you creating beautiy to honor the past while facing toward the future.
Thank you for shedding light on this wonderful material! In Austria, there is an association doing workshops for people wanting to learn how to do this, I did one and have been in love ever since
The insulation of this house is amazing.
Yes, wood fiber has very interesting properties. Combined with clay it even keeps the house cool in the summer and humidity is no problem, not even in the bathroom.
Laura I’ve been watching silently for like 6 years, but I want you to know now that you are an incredibly positive force in my life. Sounds weird because we don’t know each other but your excitement and caring make me strive to be excited and caring in my own work. Thank you for sharing your passion with us.
I so agree and understand what you mean!
Laura, you are a ray of sunshine ☀️ It makes me happy to see you learn new things. The joy is so infectious.
yes yes yes!
This new technology is so fascinating. I’m really enjoying watching this all come together. There is so much insulation going on that you won’t even need any heating!
ClayTec is an amazing company who drives a lot of the progress. Some say clay is dirt, but it is high tech with German standards and quality.
I taught myself to plaster as I renovated every house I’ve ever lived in, and it’s always an incredible change.
Wow! You took a lemon of a house and with a lot of hard work are turning it into a fantastic home. Each step of the way, instead of giving up, you found a solution. You definitely bring out the best in everyone you meet. It's amazing to see all the people that have come to help rescue this unique house. You are learning so many new skills and teaching them to the world. I love your attitude that you can do anything, try anything and succeed. I look forward to each video, knowing I am going to learn something new and be entertained. Thank you Laura
I liked the walls with the clay panels installed but still showing their borders. It made it look as though you were all inside an Egyptian pyramid. Not sure how it would feel to live in one, though. Once those walls were covered and smooth, it took me to the adobe houses I've been in in New Mexico. Very cozy, strong, and inviting. So lovely!
Zero time pressure: what lovely words! For so many of us - may it be about a radical makeover of an old charming house or just about...our everyday lives. Your attitude to all of this is almost as amazing your skills... and goes a long way encouraging people to go after what they wish to do, go after their dreams, and try new skills.
I think... I made almost the same comment some time ago 🤔. Well, it just means you're consistent in your drive for knowledge, and I'm consistent in being awed by it 😉😍👏.
GOOOOOD LUCK!!!
Please don't allow comments like mine to put a single bit of extra pressure on you. Just enjoy.
I appreciate seeing the different techniques used in other countries for building. Many make so much more sense than what I'm used to seeing in the US/Florida. The cottage is coming along nicely, I love it!
US houses are probably the weirdest world wide. Well, aside from Japanese modern homes probably. I guess the source of the problem might be similar.
Omg the transition st 12.35 into Laura dusting off her hands. Felix you're so good at making the music and story go together. I was actually dancing there for a bit.
6:34 Some other comments already said this, but that "glass mesh" is partly plastic. Despite the name, "fiberglass" is plastic reinforced with glass fibers.
Even Claytec's website says that the glass mesh has a "polymer finish", and "polymer" most often means plastic.
So satisfying watching the walls go from rough clay boards, to messy clay covered, then rolling over with the mesh and smoothing over with more clay! They're already looking so great, I can't wait to see them finished!
The "cooking show" style for each step is great.
It would be super cool to see how that glass mesh is made if its not actually plastic (looks like it is)
There's an old saying, if you want to make something dirt cheap, you make it out of dirt. In structures that often works out okay to a point.
Also if I ran a company like Claytec, Laura's channel is the absolute ideal chance to have some marketing, as well as to train my team in the actual application of the product that they're making. I'd have brought out the whole operation for a day or 5 to do the walls and let my team know what they were making, selling, and financing. So it wouldn't just be donated product and time, but it'd be a training workshop for the entire company.
I just got from a tour of Egypt and I couldn’t help but think of you when I saw all the ancient mud bricks. The Egyptians used to build mud brick ramps to haul their sandstone and granite bricks up to build temples and raise obelisks and solid columns. After, they’d disassemble and crumble the bricks and put them in fields for farming! They also made quick mud brick walls to surround temples in order to protect them from the Nile when it flooded annually. I love that we are still building with materials that our ancestors used over 5000 years ago!
@laurakampf how funny the face you made when smoothing the clay over the mesh 😂🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂
It’s so nice to see Laura content and enjoying herself in this project now. It’s beginning to look so beautiful!
Love the look of the walls. Not sure if it's as sustainable as plasterboard. After all gypsum is a natural abundant material, covered with paper. Paper can be manufactured in a sustainable way. Seems the whole system with the clay has a lot of manufacturing involed. The fibreglass mesh is plastic reinforced with glass. A plasterboard wall can have it's joins reinforced with paper tape.
Clay has many advantages over gypsum...the main one being it's hydroscopic -- it allows vapor and moisture to pass through is.Gyspum collects it.This is what natural houses are at all about.
Everything must be vapor diffusion open.
Clay regulates internal humidity and temperature ,is anti-static, absorbs toxins, neutralises odors,non toxic low in carbon, very good acoustic barrier and more...being the original building material which is the most abundant which can be reused.
That said, Its disadvantages do not help modern builders at all really when time is money!
It's not as predictable, random drying time , not so durable (but easily repaired)..does crack easily without some mesh.
I love the look of clay walls. You can do so many different things with them from rustic and matte to highly polished rich color! Very much looking forward to seeing the rest of the process!
Brilliant and beautiful in every way! You are so right about how lovely it will be to have the curves around the window openings. I have always admired that look in adobe houses of the American southwest. It is wonderful to see you so happy and enjoying the creative process on this home.
Seeing the use of materials and the care and responsibility you take makes me wonder if this is common here in the US
The process for using this material is fascinating. Looking forward to seeing what the final layers look like. Great for Hasan to stop by and help, I love his videos too. Thanks for sharing!
Wow its looking awesome. Claytec are an amazing company.
I bet this materials top coat will lend itself well to gradients… just saying :p a super subtle light on bottom, even lighter on top, with a super soft/subtle fade
Nice, Laura has invented ClaySMR 😊
Thank you for the super positive experience on your channel. Jeu stays in such a good mood and with all your courage, yes, but then I can only say a thousand times thank you. You make the sun shine in the slightly gray spring here in Denmark🙂
I know it's likely too late now. But a cool option would be to embed a strip of metal at eye level in all the walls beneath the outer clay layers so you could later hang art magnetically!
That is a great idea and I'm gonna steal it.
That is really beautiful.
❤ Clay Walls yes🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love watching this build… so many things I would never do, and dont like, but its nice seeing someone else’s views
geht wirklich schön weiter ! Ich will auch nochmal sagen wie schön das ist das du naturnahe Baustoffe benutzt!
Here in "adobeland" (aka Southwestern US) there should be a nice market for Claytec.
Those walls are going to be great, also acoustics wise!
That process was so soothing to watch!! It's great to see the progress you're making.
Your series are wonderful. I find I would like to hear more from the different people. Sometimes you offer a little interview?
This was so satisfying, Laura!
Great product and wonderful technique learned. Mahalo, from Seattle
Ha it is allways lovely to see what is gling on in the house ❤❤
Laura does such a great job selling claytek, I don't even have a house and I wanna buy some
I live in Australia and would love to use this amazing stuff
All the rooms in your house, is going to be so cozy, i just know it 🤗😁🙏 totalt hyggeligt, as we say in Denmark 😅
This must feel incredibly awsom. I am really excited how it will turn out. My guess, it will always be fully booked
It's always nice to have four walls in a room. "It's like we're being watched. Like there was a wall missing in our apartment. Like there were only three walls and not a fourth wall." - Anya
...but not having a _proverbial_ fourth wall must be part of the appeal of making videos like this.
Find someone who looks at you the way Laura looks at clay walls 😍 10:59
Absolutely amazing product and results!
Sweet to see how the texture looks and this is basically 99% finished. Hopefully you play around with finishes. Doing a white and having some accent rooms/walls. You shouldn’t be using latex paint so then however the final coat is dyed would be cool to see the vibrant colour choices.
Your efforts are paying off, the walls look fabulous!
Laura...nicely done ! Though I am not a proponent of this type construction, it is entertaining to watch. Having a crew on site takes the pressure off and so much more gets done. Thanks for taking us along on this project. See you all next week. Have fun and stay safe.
Richtig schön die Materialien von Claytec. Der Fortschritt kann sich sehen lassen. 😍
After the next layer goes onto the wall, I believe some heavy drinking is in order.
Since the entire interior is clay, I'd research tadelakt and oiled claay flooring. I know neither is traditional in Germany, but I believe they'd fit in well with the overall idea of the house.
Wow!! The walls look great!
So many different types of crushed up powders become a house .. remarkable! I am not sure USA local building codes have much conception of this type of building.
Can you burnish those walls like the Japanese do with plaster & pigment? It takes patience but the finished result is gorgeous! Might be worth doing a test.
It's very nice Laura, that you are building with natural materials.
So exciting to see things coming together. Real progress. Well done to the whole team for such a cool job !
I bet you’re proud of the project now.
This house is like a Russian nesting doll lol so many layers
What I enjoyed most about this video was your pure joy & excitement ... and yes the product is amazing as are your walls ❤
Your house is coming along and I know it’s going to be beautiful so proud for you.Just an old man from Mississippi.
They are not imperfections, it rustic ❤
Immer wieder gerne, liebe Laura! 💪
This looks a wonderful product and easy to use, can't wait to see the next coat go on.
I’ve missed being able to make the premiers! So nice to see the house almost finished!
I absolutely LOVE the idea of having grass, or straw, or SHELLS, omg, in the next layer. That is AMAZING. Love the rounded edges on the windows, too. I'm so jealous of your all-natural, green, amazing house. I would do this myself, 100%, if i had the money (and the time and so many friends to help. :D )
Delightful!
Looks an amazing product
What a great product. I love watching the progress.
I really enjoy watching your videos! Although I like watching your creations and renos, I think it’s your awesome energy that keeps me coming back. Keep on being awesome!
Oh wow it’s really happening now with the house! Congratulations you must be stocked!
I'm in America and would have liked to use the materials you did, I did however salvage as much as possible, I took down some walls and found the screws in the sheetrock with a magnet, chisled out screws and unscrewed them so I was able to pull down 4x8 sheets of it. All of the 2x4 boards werr also very easy to move. I could have bought new baseboards too but using a filler putty I fixed damage caused by dogs.
It's beautiful!!! 😍😍😍
That material!!! And tranzision!!! OMG.
These clay building materials are the same as Kristy uses in Portugal From Scratch, just in a more standardized format. On the Portugal from Scratch RUclips channel, you can watch Kristy make apply handfuls of a mix of local clay and straw to form walls with rounded edges and accents. Kristy and Laura would be an interesting collab to promote the use of natural building materials.
Amazing job
The walls look terrific! Great job to you, Laura, and your team.
Loooove a RUclips cameo 😅🤙
I would have moved out the windows to the outer part of the wall to be able to put down a really nice hard wood ledger board that you can have some room to put plants in the windows.
Every step of your house journey is so interesting and I learn so much every time I watch your videos :O (I also love your not-house related videos hehe)
absolutely amazing - what a great natural product and so beautiful
Next bitte: Ich baue mein Haus in den US.
Würde ich gern sehen, hätte ich Spaß dran.
Oder wenn ein Haus erstmal zu viel ist, dann halt:
Baumhaus (für die Tochter und euch)
Cabin
Da wird es doch echt so viele Projekte geben, über die du auch neue, coole Leute kennenlernst.
Ich freu mich auf Neues aus deinem neuen Leben!
Lehm ist einfach so toll!
Wonderful. This house will be so wonderfully snug.
I sure wish the US would WAKE UP to these kind of building ARG!
Earth is such a great building material. I am using it since more than 20 years and it is so great have it in your hands. Greetings from Myanmar
Good learning experience. Thank you for introducing the product.
A tip that worked for me in finishing sheetrock was work one surface at a time. You can load both sides if you want but smooth one then the other. Though ive seen seasoned guys break this rule to no consequence so beginer tip. I apply to all things in the begining.😊
Cant wait for the finished product here should be inspiring.
What a transformation! This looks amazing!!
So happy for you. It will be a great home.
