You can use elastomeric roofing paint also, but the additive is actually much cheaper than the paint

Please give us a better idea of what is possible, what it costs and how labor intensive. I'm interested in affordable rental units. Normally two-story duplex's are most cost effective. However, in you earlier videos your formula was not strong enough for two story. Where are you now? Also, in one comment to said you had an option for a pad or foundation to build on, am I correct about that?

      Thanks for watching! Yes, we are still building and hired a videographer to help us make the next step and share information in an improved way. The two story workshop is still holding up well! You can use this for the slab as well with modifications. This building method comes out to about $5 per square foot and has no limitations on shape or height but for two stories you should use a structural engineer to confirm your plan is solid. Rental ROI is amazing with this method no doubt!

    I have been following you for over a year. This looks GREAT! I AM totally off grid doing agricultural research in a RAIN FOREST! Using a tent and van for shelter. Does this material stand up to a Rain Forest environs? I Am on solar power. What power tools will I need to build with this? Are ANY building plans included? Is it possible to build a small building then add onto it later? It rains a LOT here so how will that impact building with this material? God bless and be well!

      Thank you for following! Yes the waterproof stucco is good for the wet environment. You technically don't need any power tools but it is a big time saver to have a barrel mixer and stucco sprayer - the class provides links for products and building options for less tool requirements. You can definitely start small and add on! Taking into account the consistent rainfall and power tool considerations, we recommend you go with the Abundacrete, self healing stucco, and earthbag method covered in the class!

However, tools, materials and addons are often not available over here e.g. Drechsel for foam generation, which makes it nasty as we have to experiment a lot ourselves.
    Will the materials and tools also be available in Eruope?
    Will the course soon be availalbe in German? Should we help with that and help adapt it to EU environment?
    Did I get it right - the course is 30 videos with about 90min each?
