    Wonderful !!! a great option first to protect my family's land with perimeter fences and then to replace the adobe house destroyed by time. Watching your videos I'm starting to buy equipment and material. A solution to Low incomes families of Peru , nowadays who do not have access to such expensive and monopolistic construction materials.
    Thanks Honey Do Carpenter !!!!

    i am new to your channel. You are a brilliant man. I can tell how much you love life in general but its clear how you love your family also. You are simply amazing. i am a retired. Now disabled former Building contractor. I built New Homes with a specialty in creative Projects. Murals , Faux Finishes, Custom Tile and custom build ins were daily staples . Yet i am still amazed at what you do! I did my fair share of Faux Rock Facades and Air crete would have be great to know about back 20 years ago. You are just the kind of person who i could have benefited knowing about? Unfortunately today i am limited due to stage 5 kidney failure and after 10 years ; its been hard seeing my abilities become reduced to living from a wheelchair . I can still do somethings from my chair but i enjoy watching smart people do creative things even more now. your channel has become an inspiration to me. I am a person of faith which gives me hope. Your channel reminds me of how i used to consider my projects-from an engineering standpoint. I simply want to humbly thank you for being who you are; a humble kind man, filled with love and energy to accept the challenges of life with vigor. You bring back so many memories.

    Nice work I am considering building a greenhouse with foamcrete in the future. I am thinking normal concrete perimeter foundation, with the south facing stem wall, back and end walls all done in foamcrete. Then a floating slab of foamcrete that would come to approximately 2 inches below grade inside. Followed by a standard 4 inch slab on top of that with radiant heat built into it. probably glazed with twin wall sheeting.

    I was thinking about doing the "Box Frame" version on this to cut down on studs by 33% give or take. Can you tell me how much 1 panel weighed in lb? If i missed this in previous content sorry to bother. So the object would be to box frame a whole wall on the ground, fill the cells one at at time. Get some help and then raise the walls and put some temp support up. I used to do this as a rough wood framer doing second stories so we didn't have to put the wall board on a second story with scaffling.

    Can stack or layer aircreet in multiple pours. You know, kinda how they do with hempcrete, or adobe. If so, or long to you wait til it's safe for the next pour? I'd imagine it would have to cure for a time before the next pour...if it's possible at all.

  • @mrbr549

    • @michaelglenning5107
      @michaelglenning5107 3 года назад

      If the forms in place were shallow, then they would be "slip forms". Meaning slide up for the next pour. Using this strategy a cement curing agent like CSA (Calsium Sulfo Aluminate) will allow the whole building to be poured in one day.
      Mr Honey Do's panel approach will allow for delivery onsite of preconstructed pieces to be assembled.

    I really love your channel, and the work that you do! I have a question, can you drill into the slabs on the inside of the shed to hang cupboards, and install a work bench, etc.? Are the panels susceptible to cracking if you were to drill in?

    • @HoneyDoCarpenter
      @HoneyDoCarpenter  4 года назад +2

      I would not hang anything structural on the panel itself. similar to how you wouldn't hang a cupboard fastening into sheet rock. You would need to use the studs for that just as you would in any building.. No the panels will not crack if you drill or screw into them. they do make special screws for light weight concrete of hardened plastic and they kind of look like a small auger, thes can be used for lighter duty like picture hangings, however shelves or any thing structural would need to be fastened into the studs.

    Would you recommend pouring an Aircrete foundation? The area where I am looking at has alot of clay soil and they have cob buildings in the village. A lodge in the community does cob building workshops. Do you think you could mix clay with the Portland cement to give it more of an Adobe building look? What about adding straw? That's, I watched the AircobCrete video on the raised beds.

    Actually, I will never understand why the various styrofoams are not ground up to an effective fineness (perhaps like that of perlite) and widely marketed in bags as an additive for lightweight concrete. Perlite concrete is, after all, the original aircrete, so the concept seems workable. We could get the styrofoams out of our landfills and perhaps need less cement production, since we know how energy intensive that industry is.
    That would eliminate the problem often mentioned about aircrete - maintaining the soap foam in a sufficiently cohesive state so as to allow for a thorough mixing in the wet mix. Styrofoam would obviously stay solid throughout that process. Sure, I've seen failed attempts at ''styrocrete" on RUclips, but different grinds of styrofoam were not used.

    A fine silica particle distribution into the mix and a longer term wetting, to secure the silicon-calicium bonding; should eliminate the need for an auminum frame for each panel. The Roman's used volcano ash, with high silica content, to construct their 'Roman Aqueducts', that are still standing today. Although a larger the volcanic ash represents a larger particle, the same silicon-calicium bond incorporation is what give the high strength and performance to the final product. Note, the silica particle size needs and wetting time and other undetermined parameters need experimental determination. A safety precaution: fine silica particles will cause lung damage!

    • @michaelglenning5107
      @michaelglenning5107 3 года назад

      Today's equivalent of volcanic ash is fly ash, a byproduct of steel making or electricity generation. Fly ash has been approved for use in interior wallboard. Adding some hydrated lime in such a fly ash cement mixture would increase the strength, but lengthen the cure time

A finer more consistant mixture there is more surface area on a grounded fractured silica per particle in this concrete mix. The crystalline lattice structures stronger covalent bonding would need a longer cure time, wetting, temperatures also are more critical factors also. This would require more experimental data.
