How many bags of concrete did it take for the house and how much for the floor in a room

[@iamgroot4706]

Any idea if tiles can be installed on the wall?

[@himalayangirlMani]

Fantastic. Congratulations for one of the best homes in the world

[@OurLand]

Thank you! 😃

[@msavina9129]

Im binging on your videos of this house build. I wonder, the “plaster,” is it made from mud or is it store bought? In USA, it looks like stucco finish that would go over blocks.
Thx! 😊

Can we build G+1 house by using mud roof ?? Will the roof strong enough ??

[@johnaxe4real]

I want to build a similar house in Ghana. Is there someone to help make the house plan for a 3 bedroom?

[@OurLand]

Hi johnson. We are working on a plan for a 3 bedroom. You can PM us on the OurLand Facebook page for more info

[@mydreamchoice2295]

In our indian village we used cow dung mud and rice straw cutting for floor making with some lime powder which helps our body to get earthing

[@nigamdol9430]

Great 👍👍

[@OurLand]

Thank you 😊

[@Queen-jc8fd]

Hello and good day,
Do you have to reapply lime to the walls?

[@OurLand]

Hi queen. We used a tapioca flour and cooking oil mixture. We applied it 3 times over.

[@rajeshkumar-bw1oh]

What’s the size of the bricks and the thickness of the wall?

[@OurLand]

40cmx20cmx10cm. The wall is about 28cm becauae 20cm brick and about 4cm plaster on each side.

[@sonalihalder2993]

07:20 Final Touches: Can you explain what ingredient you used for it? Mud + Oil (which oil) +......... And what is the formula? Thank you!

[@OurLand]

Check out the video. It has it all. ua-cam.com/video/2fPnvT-Ura8/v-deo.htmlsi=T8zlVFpVp8DaKwS_

[@OurLand]

One bag of tapioca flour is 500grams

[@evelyneodero2517]

What are you using to plaster the inner &outer walls?

[@ethan-kb5jp]

Idk but I would use animal dung mixed with clay and sand for the outer plaster and you can buy something for the inside or do the same

[@OurLand]

One of our videos shows the mix. Tapioca flour with cooking oil boiled together. Then mixed with fine mud.

[@horpamrungsung3609]

Sir do you mix cement or any other sticky material in mud?please answer.

[@OurLand]

Hi Horpam , it can be done if you want to strengthen the mud brick. Usually 5to 10% mix of cement is used by many builders. But in our case we used only mud and rice husk. The clay content in our mud was high enough. The cement is used mainly when you want to use the brick somewhere that is exposed to the rain and sun. In our case all the bricks are under roof cover and also the plaster of mud and tapioca flour mixed with cooking oil make sure that it is also water resistant.

[@ethan-kb5jp]

@@OurLand thank you that's way better than cow dung for the plaster

[@adityabadgujar3088]

Next tree house

[@OurLand]

We already have one. But not a tree house... but a platform for watching wildlife. instagram.com/p/BI9VcgjDxU9/?
