Drywall & Lime Plaster In our Straw Bale House | Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лют 2021
- In this video we finished plastering the bedroom right when you first walk in to our house to the right. Next up we are working on the West and East bedrooms in our loft. We first have to get drywall hung on the walls and ceilings that meet the straw bales and then we are ready to plaster. We got the west room all done; however, we did have fairly deep cracks all over.. Our mixture was a lot wetter than our previous batches ever were so this must have caused too much shrinkage resulting in the cracks. The east room is all prepped (drywall hung, outlets/windows taped) now and ready for plaster! Thank you all for watching and we hope you find our videos to be helpful for those of you looking to build a straw bale house in the near future! Please share, like, and subscribe to our channel!

Appreciate a good, hardworking family. We have lived in our house almost 50 years now (and it was 30 years old when we bought it), No vapor barrier. we are fine.
good to hear! thanks!
Wish I could have borrowed you my rock lift to use. My back was hurting just watching you hang without a lift! 😥
Great to see you guys are getting it done. Hope to build a similar house here in Sweden soon. All the tips are a fantastic help in planning. So glad I found this channel.
You are right about old homes and no vapor barrier behind the lath and plaster. I have seen that myself. Good luck to you two. I really enjoy your videos!
thank you so much 💜
👍👍👍🎉
Step by step, making progress. Looking good.
thank you
Thanks for tip on ceiling.
You guys are awesome, but Wylee, you shaving has given my wife all kinds of crazy ideas that I too should shave off my beard. Thanks Bro. Your progress is impressive and it's easy to see how your plastering skills are improving with each wall. Looking forward to the next installment.
hahaha, thanks! the picture doesn't do justice on how funny it actually was ;)
Congrats guys !!! Great couple
Wow the new camera is great! You do you! Your house, your decision, on vapor barrier! :) Great progress.
thanks!
Voice is sounding great with music
i hope you're fine without the moisture barrier ... considering the same for my straw bale building, but haven't done much of the research yet. From what i understand the wool will do a good job of breathing the moisture out of the ceiling and the straw bales with lime/plaster finish will breathe as well. i am for sure going up with the foundation on piers with a moisture barrier on the floor ... living in NE Ohio can be damp in the winter/spring. good luck.
thanks, good luck to you as well! always listen to your intuition on what feels right during each step along the way!
I grew up in a Timber foundation house that was built by a couple for their retirement... The house was so tight that we had to actually remove the vapor barrier because the Ceiling was sagging from the Internal humidity not being able to get out.
oh wow, it's reassuring hearing everyone's personal experience with/without vapor barriers. thank you
did you consider installing a ventilation system instead?
The straw looks real green.
yea it was, still is a little unfortunately
Great music who is it?beautiful weather in sask too
This looks so amazing! Can you recommend some sources to learn more about how to do this? Thanks.
what exactly do you want to learn more about?
How the building envelope works. Would like yo do this in a humid area in the south and a little scared because black mold can be a real problem.
Yep let your house breathe
glad to hear others agree!
Where do yall live that it gets that cold?
north Dakota
What kind of insulation did you use?
sheep's wool! check out our previous videos on the installation of that if you're interested!
Everyone has their own opinion... For traditional houses.😂
But you are building a non-traditional home. Your house will need to breath because you are using a plaster that takes a long time to dry. No vapor barrier just means you are not "air sealed". You won't meet the standards for a passive house without, but hey it just means you need a bigger heat source in the winter and bigger ACs in the summer. Screw the standards and ney sayers... I don't see them building a strawbale home, nor do they have to live in it.
haha yes!
