    I really don't understand modern people neglecting to use lime wash. It's aesthetically pleasing and it protects the cob from the elements.

    Seems a very dry mix with less structural adhesion, but probably due to the ply shuttering which will not allow drying until removed. Mixing cob (or bauge as it’s French) with a digger in a pit or skip would be quicker and more efficient. No mention of the need to meet French legal thermal requirements with that thickness of wall. See the UK/French CobBauge project which meets UK and French building regulations using a composite low carbon structural/thermal earthen material.

    How long do you let it dry out before you start the finish coat process? Do you fill all those exterior cracks with the first finish coat which I guess is thick?

  • @maverickgood5204
    @maverickgood5204 5 років тому +3

    It seems you need to let it dry out before the finish process. Which is like waiting for adobe bricks to dry out. But this way the mud is more pliable so can fill every little crack. Shuttering the boards is like rammed earth or a hemp mix.

  • @BrokenLifeCycle
    @BrokenLifeCycle 4 роки тому +17

    I get the feeling that a lot of sustainable building is really relearning what we did a long time ago but with a modern twist to the method. I mean, that cob could be mixed in a cement mixer. Instead of straw, they could use plastic strands reclaimed from discarded bottles. For additional binder strength, a little cement goes a long way. Instead of manually throwing it up, a forklift or a manual hoist could work as well.
    I get that they're doing it this way to emphasize the sustainable, low-emissions aspect with basically dirt-cheap costs in terms of material, but in terms of labor, all the cost savings go out the window. If you can show it can be done quickly with little labor through the use of modern machinery, be strong and consistent enough to hold up to building codes, and still be economical overall, then you have a system that would be a viable, competitive option to be considered for use.
    It's the inconsistency that's really the problem here: no architect or engineer would check off a design that uses an unknown or inconsistent material because if that wall failed, breaks, or kills someone due to inadequacies in the material, the legal repercussions could fall on them just as hard.

    • @strings1984

      First off you wouldn't use plastic it wouldn't bond with the clay you could use some concrete in the mix and ram it and get a consistent compressive psi rating adiquite for even multistory construction I would suggest an electric mixer but volunteer labor is free so it doesn't seem to affect their costs...

    • @ohwhatelse
      @ohwhatelse 3 роки тому +2

      Lime works well to repel rodents. However, in the USA, you'd be required to have a perimeter foundation 3'- 4' deep, plus cement up the wall, I think, at least 3' would be advisable. So, there is quite an expense there but... then youre on solid ground (pun ntended) to finish your project....
      Also, in the USA, more into rainy/snowy areas in the north, you'll have to cement the walls, at least the OUTSIDE.
      If building a strawbale house & you want plaster board walls INSIDE, you have to know WHERE, EXACTLY, the 4' sections of plaster board will meet & place short 2x4 pieces "through the wall" at the 4' wide mark to nail/screw the wall board to. This is more labor intensive & slows the process down. Also, IF the bales will be bearing the roof load (not a wood frame job), then the building will have to have time to settle (6 months I believe), BEFORE cement plastering the walls, or anything affected by the settlement. But, this gives you plenty of time to get your floor, etc, done inside........

      @@ohwhatelse cement plaster on a straw bale house sounds like the dumbest thing to do. Strawbales with cob walls are meant to breath, but the can't with cement. Lime would be a better idea.

    @zeeshan niazi. The houses normally are not made up of cob but of clay, that's why theres a problem. Moreover, the house dont have good hats and boots.

    Вот молодцы европейцы нам пихнули всякие газоблоки и пеноблоки а сами возвращаются к нашим древним технологиям.
    В Туркмении есть крепости и много других строений построенных много столетий назад, до сих пор стоят, правда потрепанны не без помощи европейских пушек, а от строений из пеноблоков и следа бы не осталось за 100 лет.

    После замеса глина с соломой надо надо сверху накрыть соломой и оставить хотя бы на сутки, ийы қану керек, доводить до кондиции, после этого замес будет эластичным , плотно ложиться, это древняя технология, зимой тепло летом прохладно, эко чистый, человек в таком доме не болеет, аура хорошая.
