It’s really nobody’s business who does most of the work. Any RUclipsr will tell you that recording and setting up cameras and lights, adds hours to any job. Thank you for taking the extra time to record this for us.
It's not because of comments, we just wanted to mention it. Kyle tolerates being filmed some, but he also doesn't love having the camera pointed at him all the time, so I try to give him a break. It gives a bit of a skewed picture so we wanted to mention it. To keep from taking time away from the build, I just jump in and get whatever video I can and put it all together later. Thanks for watching! 😊
I appreciate April taking the time to share your journey with us. I know that filming, editing and uploading is very time consuming. The build is looking great, I look forward seeing the finished product.
It’s a tall order to film and do the work. I’m the one in charge of filming now, so that’s why nothing is getting filmed lol. This work is really great and we’re going to be going back and checking out some of your other videos when it comes to electric and plumbing. ❤👍😃
Well done folks it's really coming on. Some very precise work Red on the door. Fascinating stuff. We know Kyle did a lot of the work solo but I bet he appreciates the help. Xx
It's great to see you doing all this work for Kyle. I'm sure he appreciates it. It's the sort of thing Dads do for their kids. Your explanations are most appreciated. When cutting treated wood, you might want to consider wearing a mask.
Great Video! it is Realy Awesome how all of you work Together and all of your attention to all of the details. you are So Very right about the drywall lift. LOve watching your videos. :)
I agree with all the positive comments below, they say it all [lazy me] well done April film maker extrodinaire!! thanks for taking us along with you, 10 out of 10, bye.
So much fun to watch. Next time , off set the sheet rock. It’s more prone to cracks and strength when all the seams line up. But the muddying looked good.
Necessity is the Mother of invention. Nice watching the little house on the prairie coming along. In the UK you cannot build anything without a suitcase of legal documents - could you not use a sail needle and sew the wires to the bags using heavy sail thread.
If you insert untreated wood in the bag, it could rot or attract termites. Treated wood would outgass as well. I would prefer recycled plastic panels, for example, or fiberglass. Or, scraps from bathtub or shower installs.
You will find if you put in two screws about two to three inches apart it will give you a better drywall finish. Plus you don’t have to put them in every eight inches. Eight along each edge and just six down the center and your done. Drywallers usually work in pairs wearing aluminum stilts that attach to the leg. They lift the sheet up to the ceiling and put the screws in. It takes them about a minute to hang a ceiling panel or wall panel but are usually 12 foot long. Later
We tried some screws and they didn't work at all, they got caught on the larger sand particles and stripped the hole out. Surprisingly nails or anything pounded in holds much better.
Love the videos here doing my own thing just like Kyle wish he had a email to correspond with him ..I'm in Vegas where are you guys I'm looking at at a property in Arizona as we speak...it's funny i gravitate to gingers so that's what got me started watching your channel keep up the great work!!!!will Kyle be selling the bagging machine when he's done??
Thanks! We are in Cochise County, Arizona. 🌞🏜️ Sorry no, he's not interested in correspondence with anyone. We plan to hang on to the bucket dolly for now. Sounds like fun! Best wishes with your upcoming plans and projects!
We don't get a lot of rain here, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. The roof overhang will also help block the rain. He just wanted to do what was easiest at the time, and we were too busy working on our house to give it much though. We definitely wish we would have recommended a second door. Fortunately not much in the house will be flammable, and the whole space will be open and accessible to the door.
@@RedandAprilOff-Grid Dont take me that seriously. Im and old old time drywall man. I have to complain compulsively. Your job looks good for a non professional. If you lived down the block from me i would help you for free.
The bags are filled with a damp clay rich soil, which is then tamped/compressed. The walls are similar to rammed earth. They dry very hard and are 18 inches thick.
I've wondered on this build why you didn't increase the thickness of the roof insulation another layer or so? I ment to ask on a previous video but obviously didn't. Was it cost or a calculation that decided it? Also, FYI - Last year I helped a friend do some on his hyperadobe house in W Texas and (its too late for this build of yours but for future expansions...) what he did was embed electrical conduit between the layers as he built. He had a block of wood simulating each electrical box so when the walks are finished, the block gets replaced with the appropriate box and the wires are pulled. Nite that he's building his house one room at a time. Built the first one and moved in then built a second room, etc (I was there for the third room completion). He had a 20' cargo container that he built his first room right up against so eventually it will be totally embedded as part of the house which will be a mechanical n laundry / storage room but the end doors still give access to outside.
That's what I thought too. More sound insulation on the ceiling, / because of the tin roof. But, they are in a warm desert were it don't rain. Cool nights and hot days. Should be alright with or without insulation.
@@bobjoatmon1993Cost was a factor, and we decided with all of the thermal mass of the walls, the ceiling didn't need to be particularly well insulated. The summer should be pretty comfortable with just a fan bringing in the cool night air, and possibly an evaporative cooler. He won't be heating the house in the winter. It helps some, and can be done, but the walls would absorb most of the heat. It will be a bit cool in the winter, but much nicer than living in his unheated RV. (He has never bought any propane, and even takes cold showers 🥶.) The temperatures in his hyperadobe house should be quite livable and very stable. We are curious to see how well it does. That sounds like a neat build, and nice you got to be a part of it! 😎
as a general contractor i can tell this much , no ventilation in the attic space will become an issue. In summer that attic WILL hit 160+ degrees, and will radiate heat indoors.

I'm not in an area that you can do this type of build but I love how you explain what you are doing and still being creative and keeping prices down.
I have Never sanded drywall mud, I was taught to use a 6" putty knife to scrape it smooth as glass by an old timer Italian guy in the 70's

Hi Red & April,
Your accomplishments amaze me.
And, April's Garden is always my favorite place ❤️ 👩🌾👍❤️
Hello Peggy! Aww, thanks! I planted almost everything from seed this year. It's a bit slow going, but hopefully it will do well. 🧡🏜️🌱
Good to see you back at it. Take is easy
Enjoying your build, from Australia.
Really enjoying this build series. Well done to you all, keep up.the great work 👍😀
I love seeing the progress on the hyper adobe.

Loving the series. Appreciate this update.
Thanks for sharing, y'all rock 🎉
The facts moms and dad like this exist my parents would never help me like they helped him god bless keep up the good work

Kyle will be occupying his home soon! 🎉
Thanks! Yes, it's coming along nicely! 😊🛖
looks great thanks for the update and please have a wonderful holiday weekend
Thanks! Hope you have a wonderful weekend as well! 😊
So much of what i see here reminds me of Afrca😮
Thanks! We have a friend that moved here from South Africa. She said the homes there are so much better built than the ones here in the US.
Excellent video. Plans are growing
April does a great job.
Thanks!

He used fiberglass insulation that has an attached vapor barrier.
Interesting build. Thanks for sharing

Thanks! In some parts of the country it's like that here too. Yes, sewing it on would probably work. 🙂🏜️
Everything is looking great.
Thanks! 😊
Love your videos

Yes, the professionals are so fast, and they usually do a great job too!
I feel like coarse thread lag bolts would've worked better than the rebar, but it's an ingenuitive fix.
We tried some screws and they didn't work at all, they got caught on the larger sand particles and stripped the hole out. Surprisingly nails or anything pounded in holds much better.
Отлично! Вы молодцы, Вы и ваша семья!
You should mount that table saw on some 4-6 foot boards to make it safer to use, make it less likely to tip like that.
👍🙂
@Red & April - Hello you both, finally a new video. Missed you already. So now lets go.
Hello! Appreciate it, thanks for watching! 😊
Love the videos here doing my own thing just like Kyle wish he had a email to correspond with him ..I'm in Vegas where are you guys I'm looking at at a property in Arizona as we speak...it's funny i gravitate to gingers so that's what got me started watching your channel keep up the great work!!!!will Kyle be selling the bagging machine when he's done??

👍👍
are you going to build a wall in front of the door to slow down wind rain ?
can you ask your son why he chose not to have two doors for fire escape ?
We don't get a lot of rain here, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. The roof overhang will also help block the rain.
He just wanted to do what was easiest at the time, and we were too busy working on our house to give it much though. We definitely wish we would have recommended a second door. Fortunately not much in the house will be flammable, and the whole space will be open and accessible to the door.
What the heck are you doing. You didn't stagger the butt joints.
Kyle really didn't care what it looks like and just wanted to get it done. Yes, it wouldn't have been all that much harder.

How is hyperadobe structural? Would rebar be applicable? Integrated stick framing? Besides the weight of itself, is what I'm asking
The bags are filled with a damp clay rich soil, which is then tamped/compressed. The walls are similar to rammed earth. They dry very hard and are 18 inches thick.

Should be alright with or without insulation.
True, but also some people really like the sound of rain on a metal roof
@@missingremote4388 well, I want thinking of sound damping, I was thinking thermal insulation

I love watching people that have no clue what they’re doing.
😜
wires buried in stucco should have been a UF wire not NM
Outdoor wiring is a lot more expensive. The inside walls will be covered in cob, and they won't be exposed to UV light or moisture.
Hey, I did not get a notification for this video.
🤷
Sir you keep saying hand saw but what you have is a circular saw.
Yeah, we try to notice and correct it 😅 but often forget.
Yellow wire? I don’t like yellow and red CLASHES against my retina! White wire ? O my probably is going to be FINE.
😄
Buy some stilts next time you work on a ceiling
Sounds a bit dangerous before you get the hang of it. 😄
go april
Almost as interesting as the build is mysticism surrounding Kyle.😂.
When you finish all ur drywall, the lift can aid in basketball hoop installation
This is the last thing any of us ever thought he would be doing. 😄
