    Very well done ! If every strawbale constructor would have the same generosity and time and talent spending will you´d had by making and sharing this video, It´s shure this world would be a better place !

    Quite inspiring. How many bales did you use to put up all four walls?

    • @WolfgangvonBoyen
      @WolfgangvonBoyen  Před 2 lety +2

      I am sorry! cannot remember! Anyway - the price for the straw balls are much more less than any other material.

    It is beautiful to see, that everybody can be happy with his own truth. To be creative must not mean, that you can have everything just ready by thought. Some things in life grow very slowly and might last very long, some things
    get up quick as they end - who knows? Last month I went back to this beautiful place and could make some more pictures of the finished building. They show, that all worked out very well. Hans van Dam and all those many and beautiful people, who followed this idea, just to try out something like this, without any template and experience.
    So I have already started to make a final video from the finished straw bale house - which is called
    today "Yogahouse" and you will see then - a beautiful temple and place for retreat.
    Hope to get the video ready before easter as good things have time.

      Hard cuts smoothy fades - everything is a matter of taste. Anyway thanks for commenting. A new video with a view of the completed house will follow soon!

    • @WolfgangvonBoyen
      @WolfgangvonBoyen  Před 6 lety

      fading the pics is also a kind of Yoga, like mind yoga or and to understand that nothing remains only the free spirit and everything can be possible. This is the final product of vision, art and collective work://czcams.com/video/axGRCvbxSf8/video.html

    Learned a ton from this video! By far my favorite so far, and I've watched quite a few. Nice to see no concrete and very little rebar! I'm wondering if you pinned the base bond beam to the earthbag stemwall or you just floated it, thanks!

    • @WolfgangvonBoyen
      @WolfgangvonBoyen  Před 4 lety

      Thank you for your comment! it is not earth-bags, but split-stone-bags, very solid and long lasting and save against rats. The base bond on top is just floated.

    • @McKnevil
      @McKnevil Před 4 lety

      @@WolfgangvonBoyen can u provide a link for these bags?!? as I would like to purchase them. I am starting the process of building load bearing strawbale. I plan on using balers twine to lasso the bags to the bottom plate/bottom bond beam to add some weight to my walls. I doubt it's necessary, but seemed like a decent idea.

      You can turn off the volume!!!
      Depravity
      There are people who can tolerate any noise, but when they hear music their hair stands on end. We live in a man-made noisy and dirty world. We can no longer hear the sound of the soul and will soon no longer be able to breathe the breath of life, due to the dirt that humanity spreads: in thinking, in speaking and in acting. And the climate among people creates the climate outside. We did everything that came our way ourselves. Every good word comes back and so does every bad word. This is the law of Spirit and Love and they make no difference because they are the Perfect Cosmic Justice.

    How do you compute for lateral loads? Are the nylon straps the only means for the exterior walls to resist rotation?

    • @WolfgangvonBoyen
      @WolfgangvonBoyen  Před 9 lety

      I am just the video maker, not the constructer of the house. The house is almost ready, until summer, we will finish all works including a rocket stove and then as well will be done the full video. Preliminary so much: the walls were plastered on both sides with a 10 cm thick layer of clay and sand plaster.

    @derekmiller2194 Před 6 lety

    Are you sure you staked the straw bales the right way? You want the straw to not lay flat because it will compress over time. You want the straw to be on end so it doesn’t compress so much. The bales still lay flat but the straw has to be vertical.

    • @WolfgangvonBoyen
      @WolfgangvonBoyen  Před 6 lety +1

      The straw bale walls were pressed with straps, so further compression is impossible

    Dear visitors,
    MANY questions - hear some answers:
    there is plenti of steel grate barrier under the plaster, as wells gravel sacks between the foundation and the straw balesand wherever else needed. so no rats inside or even ouside. for t he rats we have got cats andfor the cats maybe tigers... I am sorry to tell, in the moment I am we cannot finish this film, even the straw bale house had been finished lately. Now it is called Yoga House - a place for Meditation, Music and Hata Yoga.
    The place is called: facebook.com/fincalasacristia/
    FINCA LA SACRISTIA
    After a difficult operation I am still in treatment and can not yet say when the report will be finished.

      You are completely right! This house was made by many people within two years, without real plan, but with good mood and improvisation. This video only shows the half of the whole construction period. Just watch the finishing and see how nice it came out - without plan or much manual knowledge, just by trying and doing.czcams.com/video/axGRCvbxSf8/video.html
