@KimberlyTheora yes and yes!! You'll have to checn which styles of natural building are available, but strawbale should be! Thete may be contractors who do strawbale in your area!

Me refiero a las termitas 😅

@fpazfranciscapaz8475 😂 hay que usar el corazon de la madera porque si no, van a seguir regresando! Si ya tiene la madera corecta instalada, como de cedro amargo y tambien cañaza amarga (la verde), no tiene que hacer nada si serán embarrados. No aplique nada a la mayoria de la madera en la casa porque som de puro corazon y de madera como corotu y cedro. PERO, para las orquetas, puse BoraCore para otra clase de bicho y en el librero, donde hay unas partes de carne en el cedro, aplique algo que se llama Tung Oil con Citrus Solvent. La marca Milk Paint vende Half and Half, y es eso. Si veo comejenes, aplico esa!

@@turiyapanama gracias! Si tenemos postes de Hardwood o el corazón de la madera, pero igual siempre revisamos! Que no hayan caminos de termitas etc.... Porfavor sigue compartiendo más vídeos!

@refiloebw hello!! Yes, I 100% will! I'm working through sharing all the progress videos first and then will do a finished tour at the end 😊 That is so nice of you to say!! Being in nature and building this home have definitely helped me discover my feminine side and creativity! Being in engineering before, it was difficult to see that part of me. So I'm glad you are finding ways to discover that too 🙏

@JoeRusso-z4p we use only the heart of cedar, mahogany, and corotu woods! Which I coat in Milk Paint's Half and Half blend for extra protection that's still natural

@latimerias great question! I only used concrete blocks on two sides of the house as a retaining wall. The foundation is all directly connected to the ground. We have had moisture problems in the parts of the house where the roadbase layer is WAY too thin (3-6inches). Most of the house is 1ft-3ft of roadbase under the earthen floor and no issues there. The issue is that the house was built on a slight hill and the foundation ended up thin on one side (the side where rain happens to hit!) I put in a drainage system on that side and gutters. I also raised 2 columns on that side of the house onto a concrete post after a few months of being concerned about it. Mushrooms started growing out of the post so that was a clear sign 😂 however, all other posts are directly in the ground. A wrap around porch is a big part of what protects them. However, you can 100% do wax/charring on the base. Ive seen those done, just not in this country!

@@turiyapanama I really appreciate the response! Very cool to see a tropical build with an earthen floor opposed to a raised floor. Though I suppose the thick road base is essentially raising the floor for the same purposes. I hope you continue to make these great videos!

@@latimerias thank you so much! Yes, raising it in some way is essential! But it surprised me that it was even possible!

@@turiyapanama Its sad to think about how many traditional methods may have been lost in just the recent decades, especially in the US.

@@latimerias yes!! When I was asking around the community about mud homes and traditional wood preservation, everyone recommended concrete and motor oil! The knowledge even in remote indigenous communities has been lost, so preserving at least a small part of it is a passion of mine!

@@mikeloki2064 thank you so much!!

@eugeniotapia6765 I'll have workshops online and in-person on this next year! There is so much involved!!

@@alienated4747 thank you!!

@@alonsoabaroa7435 tadelakt does breathe! That is why I chose it

@alonsoabaroa7435 i tried the jar but the wall is too curvy! I also think the glass itself is not hard enough for the compression you need. For the tadelakt I did after this, I only use a stone with the proper hardness. I like ocean jasper!

@@turiyapanama thank you

@@turiyapanama In some video I saw someone doing it with a bit of plastic from a plastic bottle. It does follow the curves of the wall. I can't remember the video

No cement! You don't need cement under. Just a good rock drainage layer of 1 foot!

@alonsoabaroa7435 there are self builders in europe doing this on outside walls! I recently discovered Gernot Minke's books and he has a ton of pictures of successful strawbale builds throughout europe over the past century that are still standing today!

@alonsoabaroa7435 a sq meter could take around 10-15 minutes! The only way I know how to do it on a straw wall is to do a thick cob plaster on the cob first, then lime plaster. On exterior walls, I've done both tadelakt and just gritty lime plaster. The only place where therr has been issues is where there has been continual rain splatter from a gutter. The plaster can't take consistent heavy wetting, but no issues above ground for the walls that get plenty of rain. A roof overhang/porch is highly recommended. For my totally exposed walls on my lime-plastered strawbale shed, use a gritty finish. This reduces runoff and slows rain down, preventing wearing. It is holding up well!

@@turiyapanama thank you very much. I am looking forward to see how your projects evolve and the tadellack surfaces behave. They are much more beautiful than the usual shower

@@turiyapanama 15 minutes a square meter is much better than I thought. Thanks. And the soil floor... I would be interested in exploring other colours. The ones I have seen are very dark and homogenous. But I saw a similar Italian technique, I have forgotten the name, with a mixture of powder brick and cal. The colour was beautiful, and not homogenous, as old barro floor tiles are, with different shades in every part.

@@andreslommatzsch6548 of course!!

@@empressmouande8237 so kind!! 🙏🙏

@@alynneloup7707 🤗🤗 sounds like a fun project!!

@@juliancroc thank you so much!

@@vomitextract I'm starting to plan them for next year! 🤗

@@astrobreaux that is so interesting! Like a smooth stone that I use for lime plaster? That might work!

@@user-tg3kv5ez3w peach pits!? That is so cool! In what country?

@@turiyapanama south africa.

@user-tg3kv5ez3w so cool, thank you for sharing! Cow dung is also used in india and throughout latin america in natural walls, but I have never heard of peach pits!

its an Afrikaner thing. the farmers grew lots of peaches here. i guess they just found something to use the pits for haha

@@user-tg3kv5ez3w very creative!

@@jamescorvus6709 panama!

@@smirglvojtechskovajsa2787 so happy you enjoy them! 😊

@alienated4747 india is a treasure trove of natural building! They inspired my lime work a lot. The soil I use came from cattle pasture, so it definitely has some dung in it. I think that's why it worked so well!

​@@turiyapanama loving this journey of discovering and learning new skills with you (vicariously). Appreciate your work very much.

@@alienated4747 🙏🙏

@eugeniotapia6765 undisturbed! We had problems with fungus eventually in the room that only had 6 inches rock base between the floor and the ground, but no issues elsewhere in the house where there is 2-3 feet drainage layer. So if you want no plastic, do a large rock layer. I was concerned with the plastic that we'd have rising damp in the walls so I did it without!

@Juhulia76 something that took me 3 years to learn cannot all be included in a 10 minute video for your convenience. There is a reason this skill is only done by very few trained professionals worldwide today. I have 100s of hours of footage on the oiling process but am sharing the steps it took me to get there also, which I and others find important.

@@ellenmoran8649 thank you so much!🙏🙏

@@arin6479 not bc it's a mud home but bc of the location! All homes in panama (concrete and mud) get termites, ants, moths, etc! But it's not an everyday issue 😊

@@turiyapanama good to know! Thank you for replying

@@PigeonDumplins i love that you are sharing the knowledge as well! My grandmother was Indigenous and from Lawton! Thank you for your support!

@@turiyapanama which tribe? That's Comanche nation around Lawton correct?

@@PigeonDumplins exactly! What tribe are you? What is the museum that you help? I believe I've heard of a museum like that down there, with the woven wattle structure indoors

@@turiyapanama im from tahlequah. The museum is called the Cherokee heritage center in Park Hill OK. It's being renovated this year however so it isnt open. If your ever in NE Oklahoma you should stop by 😁🙏🏽

@PigeonDumplins very cool, thank you!!

sí! hay que instalar una capa de 2 pulgadas con paja bien picada para que coja bien. pero es posible !

@@CorEbuzzBee the howling is a special "grita" done by indigenous people in this countryside region of Panama! It may have been used to locate others because the sound carries very well over the small hills here!

@KyssBrazil that is incredible! It is great that you feel ready. Then you are going to fully enjoy it! I'm so glad to hear you have found some inspiration in what I share. Best of luck on your big adventure!!
