You embedded the bamboo posts into the earth, possibly exposing end-grain to moisture-wicking and rot. I wonder if that is happening.

@Turiyapanama they usually ferment the inner part of the totumo under ground and make a type of jarabe which can be used for cleaning the uterus but especially for the respiratory part of the body. As it's a bit tricky to make and many who do know don't want to share ;) one can also buy the jarabe de totumo from Peru.

In Ecuador and Colombia (and i think Venezuela as well) it's called totumo. They come in all different sizes and shapes and afro- colombians also make wonderful bottles out of it. It's also used in natural medicine.

Love love love I only have one question. It seems like there is a lot of gaps between the roof of the house and the walls, is that done by design also? Or will you be finishing that at a later date? I would be concerned about bugs moving into your lovely house or if there is a lot of rain with wind that you would get a lot of moisture getting in.

Cheer~~~(of a floor or structure) made of compressed earth.😊

Love your videos! How long do you wait after you apply the soap to rub the stone over it?

Hi Turiya. May I ask you what brand or wha the contents are of the black olive oil soap? I would like to give it a try, but I want to make sure I get something (maybe US equivalent) to mix with my lyme for waterproofing.

I watch your past videos where you did lime plaster can ypu pls tell me what you mix in the lime? What was the quantity & the whole process

Can i do earthen floor on cement concrete screed floor? Will it mKe sense? I love earthen floor. Cheers

Soo beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

could I build an outdoor basin with this technique? Where to collect water, like a big bath.

Thank you for another dose of meditation.

So beautifull seeing all those people working together at the mud house rising party.

I believe we had something similar in my village to build a home for a newly-wedded couple. The tradition is gone now. It's wonderful to experience this through you.

Just discovered your channel and i am impressed with your work! Lovely house, very educative, and you are an interesting host with great presentation. Definitely one of the most underrated channels! Keep up the great work.

Great work and video, thank you! Do you think one can cover floor tiles we such a beautiful floor? How thick does it have to be at minimum? Cheers! Alex

inspirational living😀

Humm... don't believe those are OSHA approved scaffolding 🤪😆 !! Wish I had a crew that big to help !

1000 👍

Simply AMAZING! Thanks for sharing!

A que te dedicas ahora?

I hope he was paid well... that is a very long, hard day to move Clay mud sand water and mix by hand then pound into floor and make It even. I think it is a great job with or without cracks it adds to the warm, comfy feel of the room. it could be great with or without cracks and all. Something well worth carrying on traditional ways...

Cringe Americans...

jew?

How many baills do you think you go through when you make That cob dirt mixture for the walls ?

If you can please make a video of your mud sink in the kitchen 🙏🏽

Can I szk how big is your plot of land?

You should have a tv show on diy or hgtv or something. The work you’re doing is incredible and your story is amazing!

my great grandmother had an Adobe house in LA

Awesome! Thank you. I can use this for patio furniture ❤

Doesnt the bamboo rot or weevil/termite?

I read "a former rocket scientist ", then I see a beautiful young lady frolicking in the mud! Ahh, welcome to the real living young lady! I'm an ex linguist, ex university prof from the UK...over ten years ago I left my rented apartment and well paid job and moved to the mountains in central Europe..now I live off grid, no electricity, not even solar panels, no car, no job, no money...but I grow my food, keep chickens and goats for milk, i make everything in my very small old stone house by hand, i live alone but i don't feel lonely, surrounded by beautiful mountains, trees, animals and of course tons of books. ...I'm learning cob building because I want to build my own cob greenhouse 😊..keep inspiring young lady❤ .

LOOKS LIKE COW DUNG GREAT

Nice

Loved your video ❤ im requesting mini vlogs of you at home please bcz i love your home so much its so wholesome

there is no need for cracks at all, i poured my floor straight on the earth as well, and if you have the right ration from sand to clay, even without straw, no cracks! if your base layer is cracking, because of to much clay parts, then its not a good foundation for the top layer! the bottom layer should be done with lightly wet "roadbase" and propperly compressed each and every 3 cm until you reach a layer of around 10cm, no cracks at all.. finish layer not more then 3cm thick but only 10%clay in the mix, no cracks!;)

Do you think one could place tiles on an earthen or lime floor??

Love it!! Thanks for sharing ❤

Fruit loops smell like lemongrass to me.

all this "we" but you're not even doing any of the hard work in the video.....

Sure wanted or would like to see the results of the patch shown getting put down after drying, preferably from the exact camera angle (oops there I go getting all bossy😬😐🤐)😏😄!!

This is a super ignorant question but where do you get your spices from? Is there a grocery store somewhere?

I am so in awe that ppl can live like this! I’m so inspired.

Goodness. Thank you for sharing this personal story. I'm so glad you've been about to take it all in stride. I can relate to much of your story. My daughter was born at 24 weeks so you can imagine, my experience was very far from perfect. But she she i are both here and she is thriving and that's what matters the most. Couple that with the fact that I'm also a registered nurse... Your story gave me palpitations a few times 😅😅😅

Congrats on your sweet bundle of joy! Also i think I've tried to tell you somewhere that your channel is listed as for kids so we can't turn on notifications. Hopefully you can change it. I had no idea you had a few videos posted! 🥰

Amazing video , thank you for posting 😁😍👍👍👍

Tremendous❤

This I would love to have in my home. Is this doable? So much to learn

Ha ha. "Modern" people are skewed into their plastic worlds. Not just here in the US but everywhere!
