  • @kirstendirksen At 0;45 he states not to use cement. Houses using earth and cement are very common, in commonwealth countries they're usually called semi permanent houses. The benefit of doing this is as a security deterrent.

  • @LUK0BA I've read many natural builders talk about the benefits of using all natural materials because they "breathe"- balancing humidity levels, filtering the air-, but if you add things like cement or asphalt as stabilizers they lose these qualities.

  • @kirstendirksen I agree with you on the video description. It depends where (Climate) you leave and building & fire codes. You can use trickle vents, louvre windows or utilize stack effect to ventilate the house. You have an international audience, my comment was aimed at alerting your viewers there are alternatives out there.

  • @LUK0BA Thanks for taking the conversation a bit further. I do agree that most people (at least in most of the U.S.) aren't very familiar with earth building. It sounds like you have some knowledge on the topic. Please continue to add your thoughts.

  • Cool info. Thanks!

  • This series is amazing. Its a treat to watch each time. Good to see people outside of the cookie cutter fictitious corporate entity forced lifestyle.

  • Cooked white flour?!?! Wow, I hadn't heard that from his previous videos. Interesting!

  • very interesting to see the stages of this type of building, which is very ancient, with a few 'modern' twists. However, it was difficult to understand this gentleman, with his speech impediment. (had to listen to this twice.) All the best to his organization!;-)
