I've watched a gazillion straw/cob house videos, but this was the most enjoyable I reckon.
The Family Franklin is obviously unintimidated by attempting new challenges and are undaunted by work; very impressive. And their highly experienced senior consultants will keep them from going astray.
This is awesome watching a family build an almost turn of the century straw bale home, I'm jealous my family was never so close! I think I like this video as much as your maintenance tips.
i did construction for 12 years and ive watched more home improvement shows than i can recall. I cant say ive ever seen a house made out of straw like this..
Well its a pole barn so the straw aspect isn't structural. I wonder what Matt Rinsinger thinks of this one
I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in
The house pad was never correctly graded either just pushed off the top layer and poured foundation pretty sketchy
Since I watched this video, there must have been a dozen more straw house videos pop up on my recommended list.
Obviously you have been living under a rock 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 Love they elders at the end telling their plan!!!
Wow, what an awesome project to begin during the big P. It's gorgeous and coming together beautifully. I'm going to look to see if you have any more updates!
I'm currently 2 years into building a strawbale house/post and beam style. So much of a learning journey!
This is an awesome build. There is probably a small percentage of people that could do this. So much respect from me to your family.
A small percentage of which a large percentage reside in Taos lol
I am so excited to see this update! You all are doing great! Beautiful!
Hi. We are just starting on the straw bale journey. And I love what your family has done here. I am so excited for the next update.
Love Macky's family!!! Keep it coming.
Big congrats guys! Marvelous structure and effort! 👏 💪🍀
Doing my greenhouse this way. I've Built it all myself. 32x16x12. Thank you so much for the tips. Beautiful work.
Looks amazing, lots of work but a young crew helps. Have several friends with straw bale homes and they are amazing!
I'm starting to realize that the Franklin's are living a hippie lifestyle. Awesome family!
This is so cool. Thanks for sharing this with us. Wish you guys the best.
7,04 am after graveyard shift. I love what you do.
Thanks for the update video, house is looking cool so far✌️
What an amazing family! Congratulations! 🌻
Love it. Great to see how it's come along guys
Loved the video. I’ve been wondering about the house build. Thanks for the update!
It's so nice you show your families and the projects you build together. After all this is "SYD and MACKY" and your families are also part of it :D.
Such a cool build! Well done,Franklins!
I live in Boulder, got married in Taos, and ride Niners, so your channel has become must watch TV. Keep it up!
Yeah! Straw bale homes are so cool, go Syd and Macky!
Guys, you are incredible. We all watched your video with total admiration. (I loved the end w/ the old guys commenting :-) Can't wait to visit you in NM!
Looking forward to you guys visiting!!
So nice to meet you guys today.
Los felicito chicos!! Lindo ver una familia divertida laboriosa y aventurera como ustedes.. un gran abrazo desde Uruguay y gracias x dar tanta info y confianza para empezar un proyecto similar x aquí. El final de este video es sublime 😂 dan ganas de sentarse con ellos a tomar unos tragos y ver como trabajan.. felicitaciones otra vez
Should be nice and cozy in the winter. Thanks that was good fun.
Dude, congrats on your family! They all seem super nice 👍🏻
You have a very impressive and fun family - lucky you!
Inspiring family!, very nice non-bike content, very enjoyable!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing!
Very cool 😎, continued success with your family project
Awesome familyyyyy! Love it
This is so cool!
This would have been a popular build series. Pretty cool stuff.
Man, this is cool! I want to build my own house, now!
Amazing!
Better hope the Big Bad wolf don't come by. 😄
Dam thats cool guys
It’s nice as well because it looks pretty easy to change to conventional sheet rock and insulation later
Aside from the Three Little Pigs fairytale, I've never heard of building a straw house. Pretty cool.
Wonderful
gonna be one heck of a Bonfire!!
This is so interesting! Really enjoying seeing the progress and also your family. How did your parents end up in Northern NM?
I realize the humidity in that area is quite low, but here in the Deep South, hay, straw, and virtually any bailed grass will begin to mildew, mold, and eventually, spontaneously combust.
Not sure how it works with getting wet during construction, but the walls will be sealed and that shouldn't be an issue. It's great insulation but obviously doesn't have the best fire rating. Not sure how this technically meets code in that sense but I do know of someone that did similar construction in California.
@@mushieslushie ...I don't think you can make anything air tight enough to escape the high humidity. It's why everyone with a basement or crawl space in the south will almost always have a dehumidifier. It's hard to imagine the straw not succumbing to the moisture in the air over time. I've never heard of a home built like that in Arkansas, and I'm guessing there is a reason. But...I could easily be wrong, and I'd love for someone to prove me to be!
Are you inferring every farmer who mowed (MAH-ooed) straw or hay will burn? Name one. Liar. Stop with your (ex)urban legends.
@@willbros1499 there are a number of straw bale houses in NC.
@@willbros1499 Straw bale walls breathe and moisture finds it's way out. Only issue from moisture is from wind driven rain, pipe bursts, etc. Relative humidity is not an issue.
Super duper insulation! Congrats live the dream.
That looks like a house! The choice of the thick black foil for the moisture barrier seems odd to me though, cause Straw-Loam-Houses are so very breathable.
I like the idea of straw bale houses a lot. One question occured to me though: If I want to Hang shelves or other things, what do I screw into? There doesn't seem to be a rigid layer behind the plaster in most cases.
Makes me want to move to New Mexico.
You are extraordinary!!!...
You have to drop of that deck before the railing is made. Make a landing and send it!
Regarding the errors in the stair build. They are not mistakes, they are discussion points, I have a few from past builds.
What a great series! How much did the home end up costing all together?
Is Macky going to build a deck drop off the top floor, or did he learn his lesson?
My first thought. Quick before the rails go up, do the drop to splat.
Unfortunately his siblings feel like that wouldn't fit the aesthetic 🤷♀️
Funny to me, but probably not Macky! Good thing they plan on installing safety railing.
I see Syd in the thumbnail, I click.
What are they gonna do if the big bad wolf comes?
American buildings will never cease to amaze me.
What do you recommend as far as spacing then to not have to notch your bales? Your house looks great
Very cool !! The design and natural materials are awesome. Have you run into any issues with building code inspections?
So far they have passed all the inspections!
My husband and I are building a similar house in AZ. It’s such a labor of love. Can’t wait to see y’all finish this. This was 8 months ago. How’s it going? 🥰👌🏽
My sibs took a break for the winter but I think they plan to start back up again here fairly soon!
@@sydandmacky That’s awesome! I hope to see more on that. It had some helpful info for us. Thanks!
Oh crap, the big bad wolf said he's on his way over. He's a huffing, and a puffing. As a framing contractor, this is the silliest thing I've ever seen......
When that one friend decides to have a fire in the house😂
I find this fascinating... if you tried to build a house like this in the Northeast people would lose their mind. Is this a common construction method in the Southwest? I know post and beam is antiquated but people still love it. It's mostly the lack of modern siding, insulation, and drywall that's so mind boggling.
Strawbale construction is actually pretty common in the eco building sphere out here. It gets plastered with adobe and will end up looking like a lot a traditional Adobe
I'm thinking about buying a straw-bale house right now. It's absolutely gorgeous but unfortunately the builder put really tiny windows in it.
How hard is it to enlarge the windows or add a slider or French doors or something? The house is pretty amazing. But I don't want to get into major costs.
All right, fine.
You're all in History Forever too.
I still like "Lay Down Sally" better but that's my thang
How do you attach plaster boards to hay?
Is that permanent? Seems like the straw will break down/rot over time? Still looks awesome
Could biochar be used instead of pumice?
Looks great! Two questions. Does straw maintain its integrity forever? Are you concerned with flooding? It looks as though at least one side of he house is next to a dirt ledge.
The pest will absolutely LOVE it!
How long have you guys been working on this
Would a wood stove in the house cause the wall mud/plaster they were talking about on the hay bails to dry out and crack? Not familiar with this style of building.
You guys have fires 🔥 out there?
My hayfever is SCREECHING 😅
Guy with 14 cats he should run his own UA-cam channel he will be super famous
this is super interesting. Were yall required to have a building inspector check it out?
Yup. Has passed all inspections so far
@@sydandmacky that's awesome! I was wondering what they would think about. Probably the coolest place they get to check out!
What was cost to build?
Is there an update on this sweet project?
Check out @casitachronicles on instagram! They finished it at the beginning of this year :)
Why not rebar through strawbales
Looks awesome and lots of fun. But how do you control rodents? This looks like heaven for mice to get in the walls.
Do you have to follow code to have a structure like this on your property?
Yup
9:05, I know what he means.
I knew luber prices were high but building a house out of straws...
j/k. Kudos for choosing ecological materials.
Man, one spark and it’s over
As someone with a faux-dobe house, it's fascinating to watch a more 'traditional' construction come together. I take it Taos is a bit more flexible with the regs?
Those nice big south facing windows are going to be nice in the winter. I take it the overhang for the eaves was sized for passive solar? We lived in one place that didn't have properly sized eaves (well, rather, it didn't have any for a trombe wall and huge south facing windows) and it just roasted us all summer.
So far, everything has passed inspections and I think they calculated the size of the overhang. Or at least I hope they did 😁
It’s almost like you never heard the story of little red riding hood… You remember what the first house was made of right?
Didn't Mr Pig have a straw house?
I’m allergic to hay. That would be a nightmare for me,
A house elk can eat ...
12:42 a railing so nobody sends it off the thing, aye Macky :|
Must be nice to have deep pockets.
There's no shame in regular walls.
I’d have thought fossil fuel use would be higher on pumice due to transport and quarrying.
Don't get it. All that material and work, then filled in with semi permanent walls. What is to stop mice from chewing their own little doors and windows? Could have had a nice climbing wall on the back.
Straw and fire isn’t a good combination
Is your brother Amish?
That shit would not last 5 minutes in CA it would burn up and blow away
Seems like a lot of money and work for something that could go up in flames from a stray doobie.
Joke time: "one foot three equals 13" Because Americans will measure with anything but the metric system. There is a whole fb group dedicated to funny times people measure with literally anything except the metric system. Lol
As an American, I back adoption of the metric system every inch of the way!
All I see is a giant tinderbox....
