Finishing our shower walls with sealed lime plaster | Straw Bale House Build
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 дек 2021
- We have two shower surrounds that need to be finished with our polished/sealed plaster method. We did the best we could with what we had, we learned a lot and also had a few errors along the way. I love how the first shower turned out but the second one is another story. We know it doesn't look very good, but it is what it is now and at least we can somewhat 'hide' it with a shower curtain 🤣. Thanks for watching!
I agree with the kids. The blue looks awesome. It reminds me of a blue sky. Very pretty.
I'm just beginning to learn but I've heard the shower is one of the biggest dangers to straw bale builds.
Ty for the videos! Amazing!
Wow!! You guys are Building My Dream!! Woot!! Im in the UK,.In Cumbria to be exact,plenty of rain,and damp,cold,I Loveeee it here!!
However,Im a bit stuck,in a City bedsit....
Sadly,Ive been Yearning to move Back out into the countyside for over 20years or soooooooo.......!!
We did have just under an Acre,where I grew Everthing we needed to eat,exchange/barter,,
Organic,healthy!
Heck!Even the Asparagus was Free-Range!!Lol!
My mother had a Bed and Breakfast,which I was running,at the age of 15years,,,,
Whilst mother did almost Anything to get Dad back,Except being loving,caring or kind,Lol!
Then,when I was at my afternoon job,
,first she sold my Best Friend, Exmoor pony!!
Id rescued him,,,, when he was a yearling,,
but to be honest,he had Rescued me,more times than I can count!!
2nd ,, Sold the house whilst I was away looking after my eldest sister,in Hull....
Ever since then ,I keep getting up onto my feet, then knocked back down...
Only myself to blame each n everytime,mishaps,misiming ,misadventures..
However,there is Only ever One way to Fail,,,,
That Is to Stop Trying!!
Namaste, and have a Happy New Year!! That Blue will look Heavenly,as it will Soften Beautifully!! XxX
That’s looking good, don’t give up 👍
You are both amazing. Been watching all your videos from the start over the last couple of weeks. Just love how you are doing it as a family. WELL DONE. AMAZING.
This is awesome! My wife and I hope to do something similar some day! This will be a great blue-print! You guys should get in touch with Matt Risinger from The Build Show and talk about permitting, ideation, cost, and execution. I'm sure you'd get a lot of exposure and opportunities to educate/teach these methods!
I think it looks great! Finding the right process is tricky and as you did, give it your best and see what the results are.
I love the way you guys don't back down or give up!!!! One more thing you have accomplished....one more thing you have taught your children. Love it. Happy New Year!!!!!
Wow ..I think you did great! colors mellowed when they dried and the shades finished look great with the house...continue to wish you every success and a "soon" move in date.
thank you
Like the blue shade👍
The swirl technique you attempted on the blue is achieved by putting both colors on your trowel at once. Mostly white, with a little blue. Then trowel on. So every time you go back for more product you put both colors on.
Another great personality is Corbin Lundsford from the Building Performance Workshop. I think your natural builidng methods compiled with the science/health of building this way would go a long way with him!
that is a great idea, thanks!
I love your channel,regards from Spain.Have a Happy New Year!!
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing
Wanting to do concrete curb less shower, linear drain at the threshold so I don’t have to do any door. Plus concrete walls, and concrete floor in the bathroom. Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Happy New year to you all I like the colour blue in the shower I know your not too keen on it but like you said it's the shower and you haven't got too look at it all day long looking forward to the next one 👍.
exactly, happy new year!
felicitations a vous.
The dark one looks amazing!
Agreed, It is amazing!
Good job! Great demeanors, too! Forgive me if I missed it but I assume you did the seams with a fiberglass mesh tape set in thin set mortar. Is that correct? At any rate, I'm wondering how it is all holding up. Any issues?
Enjoy your show. Beautiful work. Cristi could you please comb your hair or find a style. You are so cute...emphasize it!
Thx for the info
Would you please share the exact materials you used for the gray walls?? This has inspired me so much! Absolutely beautiful!😍
to be honest, while it has held up ok, I know that our recipe is not worth using. I would do as much research as possible on tadelakt and polished lime plasters and go from there. best of luck and sorry I am not any help!
Looks so good! So what is on your floors? Tiles? Can you do this or similar to the floors? Resin, concrete annnnnd ummm stuff? Hahaha 😂 Ideas, anyone?
I am wondering how it turned from blue to blackish concrete. You guys are amazing, it's just that I am having trouble to understand
oh my, haha I can see why you are confused.. we did TWO different bathrooms. one is blue (unfortunately lol) and the other is the dark gray.
👌👌👌👋🇨🇵🤩
Did you guys hire someone to do your blueprints& plot design or did you design yourselves? My husband and I start our strawbale build this year!!
no we did not. Exciting, Best of luck!
Does it matter what kind of soap you use? I remember reading one construction magazine about the same method. But it didn't state anything about it being specifically olive soap.
Black olive soap I believe is the true method, I have read others mention either olive or coconut oil soap works well
Alex from this cob house channel teaches Tattlact (sp?)
thanks!
Tadelakt
The true method is incredibly labor intensive and uses tiny high polish stones of a certain hardness rating to punish the plaster to a high shine and close the pores. It's beautiful.😊 But i love these showers and it's a great job for a diy!
Beautiful color. What pigment did you use?
this was a deep gray (charcoal) color. thanks for watching!
@@buildingroots5873 thanks for the reply. By which brand?
This was some pigment we had from www.directcolors.com
How has it aged guys please ?
I want to do this but how does your shower handle mold
it seems to be holding up very well although where the tub and plaster meet it does have cracks so I am still unsure if this will become a problem in the future
The lime is alkaline so mold should not grow on it.
@@buildingroots5873when tiling a tub, caulk should be used in those areas because weight from water and people causes those to flex so any hard material will crack. So I would caulk the corners and the parts near the tub.
Wow. Lady, let your husband talk sometimes.
What a dumb, pointless, comment.
Get the kids out of there
I can’t concentrate on the information
Buy a good mic. The audio is horrendous.
