This is brilliant. We built a house using tilt panels that was poured in two layers with insulation between the two layers of concrete held with fibreglass pins with a narrow area in the middle of pins to act as a grip within each layer of concrete. We needed a crane as the panel where heavy. Plumbing and wiring was in the insulation area mapped out to find it again. I couldn't believe these pins held the bottom layer as we lifted them but they never failed. They had steel mesh all over and rebar with extra rebar at lifting points.

You have been honest on your project. Great program! The good and bad of the project. 5 million views shows interest on this type of materials. I’m sure many of the viewers are professional contractors observing you as the spear head for future projects. Once again congratulations on an excellent program of pure honest advice.

Finally about to start my own aircrete journey. I'm not going to buy one of your premade foammates because I want to make my own, but I do want to donate a bit once I can afford to. You're awesome Darwin. Seriously, I say that because I got these ideas and then I discovered you'd already done my ideas before I even had them. One small difference is instead of a doghouse, I'm building a chicken coup.

Nice family headed by a hardworker, Darwin GOD bless your family.

Man, building the shed you built one awesome family and couple of young men.

Hey, just an FYI... you should wear a mask when handling most sand products, but especially perlite. Even outside. the tiny dust particles are actually microscopic shards of processed volcanic obsidian, once you breathe them in, they stick into your lung tissue and are likely to never leave your lungs, causing silicosis. Silicosis symptoms are not often immediate and can present years later.

I have an idea, I am to old to start a new venture, but someone out there may want to pursue this idea. I would like to build aircrete logs. Based on the toys we all played with when we were kids, Lincoln logs. These could be pre-manufactured so really almost anyone could buy the logs and construct a building. There would need to be different lengths made say like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 feet etc. There would need to be some that had special ends with channels for doors and windows. There could be some that are pre wired with wall outlet boxes and switches. Logs could be pre-colored or surfaced in some cases. A building could be constructed permanently by bonding the logs together, or could be temporary and disassembled and moved. I think this could be an amazing new business that could revolutionize small buildings. And it would allow for any person to DIY.

you are one complex builder and enjoyed every second!

Great video! It would be great to see a cost and time compared analysis of air Crete vs. stick frame construction.

Darwin, This Do and Dont video adds so much substance to the original video! Thank you for all your efforts and for sharing. Would like more information, if possible, on the stucco sprayer you mentioned. Thank you!

Loved the bit about the proper 'spin/vibrate" any cook could tell you not to 'blend' but to 'fold' foamy substances into solid mix. Who knew home economics class could be practical.

Man that´s what I call a brillant idea ! Congratulations!

Love the video. I used to live in AZ. Most new homes are done in stucco there. The construction of stucco walls there are done as follows. 1) they attach semi-rigged foam sheet(1/2 or 3/4 inch) over the stud surface. 2) then they attach a thin foam sheet(1/8 or 1/16 inch) over the surface. 3) then they attach chicken wire over the surface. 4) then they spray on the stucco and 5) spray paint. Ever consider making this a full time gig? I would love to be involved in a LARGE SCALE aircrete biz. Building/selling low cost prefab homes(panels) and sub-out the installs.

Excellent video. Great channel and family. This is what I want when I come to YouTube.

[dvfreelancer]

What an awesome video. Much appreciated the notes about what didn't work. Probably saved me a lot of failed panels.

[sibosifraiscompagny]

Like always you do review and you telling us what's work and how to improve it. Love your video!

[colombianoman]

Excellent example dude thanks for the tutorial it’s awesome to see the whole family getting involved me and my stepdad want to do something like this to

[hensonlaura]

THANK YOU! For the practical information, sans elevator music 👍

You can set your forms on top of plexiglass and it will leave a slick as glass finish.
