If you were to order this machine over again, would you get Diesel?

This video showed up in my suggestions because of my interest in stabilized compressed earth blocks. Yes! Finally someone in the US working with the interlocking ones! You got a new subscriber!

I am not an expert but I do pay attention... 1. I do not believe clay and cement mix particularly well, they mess eachother up. 2. Mixers are designed to mix, the internet is dumb, be lazy. 3. Your soil would have some clay content and clay LOVES water, more water = more gooder. 4. Adding some kind of fibre may be beneficial.

Concrete strength depends partially on the aggregate you add to it. It's about a 10% mix of Portland to sand or gravel or fly ash, or what ever you have an abundance of. Rammed earth is more specific. You want to use like 7 parts soil, 2 parts sand to 1 part portland. However, this changes if your soil has a high clay or silt content. You either have to step up your sand or topsoil content to find that perfect point of binding. Before Portland cement was invented, lime was used. (Lime, animal blood, slaked plaster, horse hair...) Your last block seem the most sturdy, but the super wet material when pressing blocks will prevent the compression you are looking for to get the most out of you Cinva ram. It's like hydraulic resistance. When you use less moisture you get maximum compression, then you want to cover the bricks with a tarp for 24 to 48 hours to let the portland work, then you want to wet the bricks down and recover them with a tarp, and then continue to re-wet the bricks when they appear to look dry for the next 45 days. A concrete foundation, wall, etc usually takes about 45 days to cure before it is hard enough to build onto. A lot of times forms are left on the concrete to slow the drying process down. You can make CEB blocks harder than the concrete block in your video, but it requires keeping the bricks wet. I've made concrete sculptures where after the concrete cured hard enough to handle, I submerged the sculpture for about 48 days in water, and it is probably the strongest piece of concrete I've ever made. The higher content of clay in your mix, the longer it is going to take for the CEB block to cure. Rammed earth walls can take years to cure.

Why didn’t you add some hay?

Yea super gay! And if ur gonna have a paddle switch make it a variable, so the harder u squeeze the faster it goes! Just like grinders have been for 40 yrs

The internet is finally defeated! The fact that the strongest one is from material right ther eon your land and at your fingertips is good as far a supply availability! Should be able to make out like bandits ans save time and money in that aspect. Looking forward to seeing how the new block mover from out the machine yall are working on turns out... -N

the bad part is that it’s all they are stocking at the big box stores like home depot and lowes, they are making people buy those more by having the paddle switch readily available and the lock switch to order. the paddle switch really limits you compared to the lock switch

THANKS FOR SHARING

It seems like you added too much water. It's almost impossible to get a homogeneous mixture from the concrete mixer.

This is awesome! It was very easy to follow through the video. I am also considering doing the same. I would love to connect to consult more on this. Is there a way to connect with you?

Good vid.

Deanna and I have been at this for almost 20 years purchasing the land to the equipment and we are just like the two of you... just getting started! Keep up Your Spirit and Relationship - Both of You can do this!

Looks amazing!!! Heck yeah!!! 😁👍🏻

Health is wealth. Naomi just kinda "hangin around" on the pull up bar! and bruh how you gon blind the sun when you took yo shirt off like that... smdh...sad really... bahahah love what you all are doing and how you're keeping everything complete, accessible and eliminating the need for so much of the "outside" world's intervention Dope! -N

I’m glad to see the motor and VFD is working out for you guys! It was a pleasure working with you :)

Will is the bomb

Someone stepped right in the answert! -N

I owed the hand CEB press but haven't used it yet on my property in East Texas, I did a soil test and my soil is also very sandy with minimal clay. Like beach sand. I am currently digging deeper to see if I can obtain more clay in my mix.

You need 50-70 percent sand plus some gravel , 25-30 clay plus silt.... Am using a manual press to learn making these .learning curve is steep but once you get right mix you can make them fast ...1500. -2000 a day.

That soil is too sandy and has a less amount of clay, it is not good for this purpose ... Try with a soil of about 15 to 20% of clay, and Cement is just to help water resistant and proofing so 10% should be fine ... Clay is binding material here so it is needed and sand 70 to 75% (construction sand) is very important to make the formula strong and none sticky

Have y’all started on y’all’s build yet?

That's cool.

Nice Job! Thanks for posting this!!

Love how far you've come on all of this ... A living her dreams out loud! -N

Nice biceps 💪🥸

The last time a solar sales guy came to the door, he happened to mention how expensive solar ground mounts are. I've seen some close to the ground mounts being about $100 per panel. If you are going big poles and structure, that gets more expensive, and shade is a premium thing in a lot of places, especially Arizona, so setting things up to also create some helpful shade is a plus. Of course roofs for catching water are also a high value in Arizona.

Normally, digging holes like that, you would dig a little bit of the hole and then pour water in and let it soak before digging more. Out in Arizona though, water is not as easy to come by. And then there are the rocks: water won't help that.

Also, maybe look into a soft starter. The power probably surges like an air-conditioning unit when certain tasks are performed. They use these on large air conditioners.

It’s drawing too much power for your solar system. Either the max power draw from the inverter or the battery bank can’t keep up with the power draw. It’s not the machine. I would rent a big gas generator, Plug in a device that will show you the power draw between the machine and the generator and then take note of how much power it’s drawing at different states of the machine usage. Then you’ll know your max draw and you can scale up your solar system to match. I think you simply need an inverter with a larger power draw. Mine says 4000w but it trips at much less power draw. my view is always double your inverter to what you think you actually need. Good luck guys! I love what you guys are doing.

Love it

Life saver man! Worked like a champ! Thanks!

What aluminum cross bracing did you use to fasten solar panels to? Thanks in advance.

Do the same thing on the other side.

Just moved to ash fork trying to do the same. Love the vid

If your electric motor keeps tripping you can easily replace it with a combustion motor from harbor freight. Way more reliable.

One of the techniques that I thought of using for the block curing process was to install hot water solar panels to a wood kiln - the ability to cure the block under moist conditions increases the psi due to slow hydration . It is something that I would like to try to accomplish for the block to our well house. Just a small test project.

Nice!

Great job!?👍🏾... i will be doing this soon

How much did it cost?

Hi aunt naiomi

綺麗に仕上がりましたね😊これで明るい未来を照らせるように祈ってます😸

Hello how much was the total spent on you waterwell including permits, water pump etc please let me know thank you.
