- Concise how to video on adobe home construction. Secret tips and info from two of the most respected builders in Taos, N.M. Learn from their experience and pride as this father/son team narrate the steps needed to build a beautiful and efficient adobe home. Contact them at tylernewmex@yahoo.com or call 575-770-4940. The song, Bony Fingers by Legend (1980) was picked by Keith Loveless. Thank you Keith and Tyler. . . . . . Check out my new video called, Pueblo Style Frame Construction, for a different perspective...
My grandfathers home in Mexico was made of adobe, these were considered houses for the poor 😂. However, in the US only the wealthy can afford them unless they can build their own. 😮
Pero estas casas le ponen mucho material sintético!
Una verdadera casa de adobe no se pone foam por afuera, y no lleva estuco con alambre ! Se usa el estuco de tierra.
Keith and Tyler designed and built our beautiful 2 bed/2bath Adobe home in El Prado, New Mexico in 2017. We had so much fun with this project, fascinated by this method of construction, use of solar with how the home was set on the lot and the step to step operation of Keith and Tyler and their long standing amazing crew!Our house is so comfortable, year round with little to no maintenance. We enjoy cool summers with only fan use, warm winters and views every day of the surrounding mountains. Very grateful we chose Keith and Tyler and Adobe Home Construction.
Beautiful and high quality, that home should last hundreds of years if properly cared for. I would love to have a custom adobe home about this size built someday.
You Guy's do good work. Your making America Great. Thank You and I hope We can work together soon.
Using foam insulation board and a concrete based stucco coating eliminates the natural breathability of adobe. Also reduces the ability of adobe to act as a natural heat sink. For every inch of earth, heat transfer is delayed by an hour. Using foam insulation stops this natural process. Using concrete stucco is a cause of "rising damp". I guess it's fine in the dry southwest. In wetter parts of the world this may cause mold. The water proofing ability of concrete keeps water out, but it also keep water vapor IN. Using chicken wire for stucco coat inside and out while not tying it together for earthquake resistance is just crazy. Taos is not immune to earthquakes. The bond beam prevents wall collapse in earthquakes and is code. But why not go the extra inch and tie the inside to the outside? Using foam board and concrete based stucco on the exterior "saves money" and protects the adobe bricks from water damage. So I see the reasoning. It's wrong. But I see it. Damn this is inauthentic and unnatural.
Richard, it sounds like you are an authority on the matter. Just curious, are you an architect, builder or?
Richard has never built a sandwich by himself but is clearly an "internet expert"
@@tjewett1967 What did I say that was incorrect? Nothing. So you insult me by calling me names. I'm an architecture student and renovating a house right now. And an expert on CEB construction. Looks like you're the internet expert talking shit about someone they don't even know.
@@JohnCunninghamTeam Richard does not sound like an authority on the matter. I would recommend you (and Richard) familiarize yourself with the New Mexico Earthen Building Code. It will give you a better sense of why the builders in this video built this the way they did. The standard 2" of EPS foam, as prescribed in the code, does not constitute a vapor barrier. While not traditional, adobe absolutely performs better with insulation -- and, obviously, the adobe still acts as a natural heat sink, because presumably you are heating the inside of your house. Especially in cold climates like Taos, an un-insulated north facing adobe wall will get cold and STAY cold all winter long -- not what you want.
I really appreciated this video. Every builder does things a little differently, and has to weigh a thousand considerations -- what is best for the building, what is possible on the site, the homeowners' wants and needs, the budget, the building crew's skills, equipment, and time, etc. etc. etc., while also abiding local building codes. Most of all, I'm just happy that the clients chose to build a real adobe house, and not a frame construction counterfeit.
@@efredric87 I've read the New Mexico code. Thanks. As well as US building code. As well as half a dozen international building codes that apply to earthen construction. So you can fuck right off with your snide comment.
Two inches of foam is absolutely a vapor barrier. You're a moron if you think two inches of foam isn't a vapor barrier. I didn't say it wasn't allowed by code. I said that it is inauthentic looking and stopped the natural breathability of earthen construction. Which it absolutely does.
Hello to the Reeves family! This is a wonderful video. I have dreams of building a small adobe house, perhaps a few years from now. I must find a way to come to Taos and see your work. Thank you for sharing this video.
This is one of the best videos ever on how an Adobe home is made. The double insulation idea of adding foam insulation for improving thermal quality is the proper way to do it. I've watched this video many times!!!!
I prefer this house to an earthship
1400 sq ft is small? I mean that's not a huge house but not small. Otherwise cool video 📹
My goodness that's a beautiful home. It looks like it will last 1000 years or more. I wish I could have one. 😊
Admirable manera de construcción la vi muy rápido pero muy completa me pareció que es Adobe crudo de 10 30 40 no aprecie el pegamento Si es arena y cemento o es arcilla? Muy térmico Felicidades
I love it all except for the foam. Don't really see the point of adding foam insulation. Adobe is it's own insulation. One of it's huge advantages. Also don't think the mesh is really necessary, and its gonna make it harder to reuse the plaster if it ever needs redoing. Can save a good bit of money not including them as well. Very lovely house though.
The foam isn't insulation, it's a thermal brake, like he said in the video. The adobe itself is the thermal mass, but using the foam slows the temperature fluctuation process, making the adobe more efficient year round. Also, the wire mesh and fiberglass sheeting add significant structural component to the finished stucco, ensuring it will last significantly longer without the need for redo or touching up. These guys know exactly what they're doing.
@@meadmaker4525 Adobe homes have lasted for thousands of years. The traditional methods work just fine. It's not about whether they know what they are doing, it it's about how there is not just one way to build an adobe home.
Adobe has zero insulation property. It has an ability to delay heat transfer. For every inch of earth, heat transfer is delayed by an hour. Mesh is necessary in preventing earthquake damage. It has a dual use in being a good base for applying stucco. However, in this case the inside of the mesh cage was not tied to the outside. Additionally, the stucco they used was concrete based and can not be reused.
I love how people who can't build a ham sandwich second guess actual professionals.... Ah internet experts!
@@richardleau how should the steel mesh be applied?
Very Nice I need a home built but want it poured instead with 10 to 12 percent epoxy with 2 ft walls and 30 inch foundation.. my Great grandparents home still stands and has been occupied ever since its construction in the 1800s with traditional build.. good job gentlemen...
Adding plastic to the mix is a terrible idea.
I wish people could add how much did this cost to build I would love to have an idea about how much
That's not a true adobe house. You are using chemical products as foam, portland, etc
Adobe style
I wonder what the cost differential is between building an adobe home like this versus using more modern materials (wood, cinder block, drywall, etc)? Cheaper? More expensive? I've heard horror stories from people in Marfa, Texas whose corrupt politicians have decided to attack owners of homes made with adobe with gross over-valuation and skyrocketing property taxes, making it almost impossible for people to build or live in adobe homes there, even if they've been there for generations. Hope nothing like this is going on in New Mexico.
I believe the materials themselves.. mostly adobe is more affordable, but the labor makes it more expensive. I heard about Marfa. I hope that doesn't happen in NM. I live in a 100+ year old large, territorial adobe and the taxes would ruin us.
Hi Tim. Who designed your home? It's beautiful.
My grandma's house in mexico is built like that with the vigas
What would be the estimate price for the building of this house?
Is no one gonna talk about their names being loveless??
Such a beautifully constructed house.
Would you be able to tell me how much time it took your team to build this home or similar homes? Thanks 😊
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing. I just purchased a 108 year old Sonoran Adobe home.
Edith Michelle just out of curiosity how much do homes like these go for?
115k to IV seen 800k in New mexico
Very similar how they build many house in Sonora Mexico
Absolutely gorgeous! True Masters of their trade!!
Do u not make ur own bricks from the land?
They're all my Mexican Amerindians experts in mud cob building. Something that certain groups of North Americans don't know.
Awesome video
How much will a small adobe home comeout to be
High tech adobe looks to be wickedly expensive.
I thought the same. Mostly labor costs
Amazing building that is century’s old,adobe homes are so well insulated ,cool in summer and warm in winter,great project !
Really not sure if the foam and chiken wire are needed , the adobe is already an insulating material and adobe plaster stick perfectly to adobe bricks
Even professionally done Adobe will fall off without mesh over time and will need more maintenance
Adobe is not insulating; its thermal mass retains or radiates heat but does not insulate. The builders are wise to add a layer of insulation on the outside of the adobe.
our house was made with this material/adobe , and during the war it used to stop the M16 bullets , besides it keep the house cool during the hot summer.
Amazing work. I’d love to learn to build like you. Australia has got to be the hottest place on earth. Do you run workshops or can you have me on site for a fee?
Peace
the video said you used 2500 bricks to build the house. I assume that number was a mistake. what is the normal amount of bricks to build a 1400 sq ft house? around 5000? 6000? 7000? Want to build an adobe but would like a real number for bricks . Thanks
You got the number mate
@@ismailahidjo4282 If they are using 10x14 inch bricks that number is wrong . Do the math.
It took 2,100 Adobe's to build my 1200 sq ft house
I'm currently getting things ready for a home. Can I know the rough estimate for this home in the video?
Concrete and abode don't mix well.
Excellent, thanks. Love my adobe home.
Are you able to use a lime stucco rather than cement stucco on the exterior?
Professional work...superb thanks for uploading.
Can I use wet Adobe inside my existing outer walls in my man cave of a shed ???
This might be a lot cheaper then regular insulation, I don't know.
I am on a budget..
I can leave it to breath for a long time to make sure it is dry.
There is a roof and exterior T-111 on the outside right now.
Adobe is not an insulator, it's thermal mass. You may want that, but if you really want insulation, hempcrete and foamcrete (aircrete with styrofoam bits) might suit you better.
I've been thinking of moving to NM do you guys need more help building . I would love to learn this trade
Can I come volunteer with you guys? Please?
Nope... still can’t find a reason why anyone would use plastic for the siding of their house.
silly building codes, i guess.
No, it's foam insulation. The adobe bricks and the foam create an awesome thermal barrier...
Nice video guys, do you build in California…?
So beautiful and a lot of hard work.
Veri nice.
Great video on Adobe house construction.
A good mix or old and new construction methods to meet codes
Maybe I missed it, but how much does it cost for one of these? I'm from NM, so I know how expensive stuff is there... it's one of the most expensive states in the country.
Come to South America
you’re actually kidding NM is the third poorest state in the US…
I hope this is a joke. I love new mexico but its broke af. Come to arizona and california, really any of the four corner states next to you and see how broke new mexico is. Its so cheap over there i love traveling through cause everything is cheap except taos
Definitely cheaper overall as a state. Really santa fe is the only place you might find 15 million dollar houses. Otherwise the best houses in albuquerque are more 5 to 10 million at the very high end so I think mainly santa fe commands that 20 million dollar range but still most of santa fe is just like 1 to 2 million. 20 million would be a very nice estate even in santa fe.
A basic process made complex. Thanks.
I get to do this by myself
Probably to meet code.
true adobe homes need NO, i repeat NO fiberglass or blown in insulation!😮 those are added by people who dont know how to build authentic adobe homes the right way...in other words,... gringos😮 true adobes houses have walls no less than 2ft. thick, sometimes 2.5 ft thick. no insulation required. if youre going to do it, you need to learn how to do it right!!!
I would like to know how to hang things on these walls inside since there are no studs. Does it act like a concrete?
Masonry screws
4:49 cara buat curve
This isn't how they do it in Mexico.
Still Amazing Job.
Thats in new mexico not mexico
So? 🤷♂️
Good good good thing you
BEAUTIFUL ❤❗️
I never knew that adobe homes had so many layers of material in the walls, I always just thought it was mud and straw😄this was a great video. Nice job👍
If you want to do it legally those without proper foundation and beans above the windows and doors are consider illegal and the city code inspector can and will harassed you all the time and even shut you down and make you tare it down threaten you with big fines just days ago building codes were finally approved nation wide for adobe homes which is a good thing because no more harassments no more fines live legally they only ask of a few things like a solid foundation footing & drainage like a foot of stone wall or concrete on top of footing then adobe after that as long as you top it again with concrete at the very top also beam wood above windows and doors proper plumbing's electrical wiring and septic tank i probably miss a few things I'm no contractor just someone who's dreaming of building an adobe home and doing some research in the matter here's the link for the adobe code regulations www.iccsafe.org/building-safety-journal/bsj-technical/cob-code-appendix-approved-for-the-2021-irc/
@@tonyv1505 thank's. That's interesting. Iove adobe homes, they are so beautiful. I was raised in New Mexico and lived in one in Santa Fe.
@@sunnyamericana2230 I grew up in the mountains in Puerto Rico our house was concrete then I decided to come live in the US, it wasn't until after the internet that I saw a Spanish style home i believe it was in Mexico that I fell in love with, I didn't know it was made with Adobe I just loved everything about it it wasn't until a few years ago when Adobe homes started becoming more popular that I realized that the Spanish style homes I fell in love with was actually made with Adobe ofcourse I called it mud homes the Adobe name never got stuck in my head lol I also realized back in the days way back here in the US homes were actually made with Adobe too, I should have paid more attention in history class lol. Alright you have a great day
The older style ones are mainly built of just adobe with plaster over it on a stone foundation I believe. I think they overcomplicated it a little. You don't really need all that mesh and insulation. The adobe itself is a very good insulator already, and the mesh just adds a bit of strength to the plaster.
Any contractor s in new Mexico? Looking to hire for a 600 sq ft tiny house
Shoot me an email Lance, I'm working on an compressed earth block business and we actually want to specialize in tiny homes.
Theanthonysanchez@gmail.com
Wow, I grew up in an adobe house with just plaster, no wire mesh, foam or paper. 😂
And did you like it?
New Mexico is still my favorite state. We lived in SF as kids. When our family moved to Phoenix my dad eventually bought a big older home that needed a full renovation. It was an old home built of masonry blocks. My dad hire three brothers fro SF to come up and remodel the home. The interior walls were finished with diamond plaster. They added some vigas to the home too. Those guys were there on that job for over 6 months. The results were stunning. Anyhow, it was fun watching your fantastic video
You should have roasted the bricks in a kiln. Then use mortar to bond the roasted bricks. You could have a build a home that could last 200 yrs. Even withstand server events
Great Job
Gorgeous! Adobe is great. Especially if the materials are available locally. Here in central Texas, not so much. Maybe using cedar…a lot…..A LOT of cedar. Maybe limestone too.
Song name?
Beautiful, thanks so much guys. On the interior, I want to get the same look in a tiny house I'm building. I don't think mud will work bc the house is on wheels and the mud will probably crack from moving around. What's the best way to get a similar look? Should I just do a plywood ---> skip trowel ---> paint?
Thank you immensely for sharing this valuable knowledge. By doing this you contribute to keeping the trade alive.
Great video. How do you go about hanging pictures etc., on the walls?
I thought this might be a cheaper way to build but I can see it’s actually a lot more expensive
i think they have to conform to building regulation code and they had to do extra steps for exterior insulation and water impermeability
i also remember this documentary about adobe/mud-brick construction in Yemen, one builder said that concret and mud building cost about the same, the mud is cheap but the manual labor is more expensive
but on another hand, all in Yemen agree that mud houses last centuries while modern concrete doesnt last more that a few decades
If you have the right soil already on or near the property the major cost is really just labor. Though making the bricks isn't complicated. They're just put in a form and then sun dried. So if you have the right soil and make the bricks yourself its very cheap.
5:37 stucco
do they have a youtube channel?
How does the cost compare to what folks in rhe north or east might call modern materials?
I don't get it. The bricks are covered in and out. why not just a stick frame or rammed earth.
If you don't see the difference between adobe and stick frame, you should probably stick to stick frame.
Why not bamboo? Why not hemp? Why not rocks? Why not glass? Why not plastic?
Can I turn my window into a door? I have a header that might have rot in it? I am in AZ & have a southwest adobe home
Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge with the rest of the world!!! We appreciate it!
very professional. lots of experience in that build. Thanks for the video
How much something like that run...
What state are you in. Love adobe buildings.
That looks New Mexican
The home in the video is somewhere near Taos, New Mexico. I lived in Taos county for many years and see the distinctive "Taos Mountain" (Pueblo Peak) in the background.
Please can you do a clip about roof system
Sir great video very informative.its very nice to see your surname I have the same in my ancestry.
Are you still building? How are found?
Whats the cost of an Adobe house vs conventional material?
You must be building in El dorado new Mexico
Can this be used up north ? Say Connecticut
What is your official website??
How can I get in touch with you guys
You don't mortar the head joints?
Have you ever built a round house or Dome out of adobe
Love to see this !! Looking good Tyler 👊🏼 great family, great people, great builders !!!
Do you have info on how I can contact them?
Wow, it come out very nice...👏🏼
Please switch to green insulation.
Can an Adobe home be Built in the the North East? I just wonder how it would withstand the cold weather Up here
Id think you will have problems with moisture...
@Some dude with creepy eyes santa fe, nm is 7200 feet... low desert? what does that mean?
It would do fine but you have so much timber available
My grandmother home was made of adobe. Warm in the winter n cool in the summer. Loved her home.
I did cob construction which is non monolithic adobe... in the northeast , you can sandwich rigid foam/rigid board for insulation between 2 walls and that will pass IBC building code... that's in the state of maine
Thanks for making this video!
I'm from NM are you hiring. I like to learn
Very nice; thanks for sharing
exellent craftsmanship
you guys are awesome!!!!!!!!!
Do you guys travel to abq ??
Thank you very much!
Exquisitely executed!
Beautiful job
