Hands down the best presentation I have seen yet on this subject! While the other guys are still experimenting with materials and processes, you demonstrate a proven process with all the details needed to replicate. Thank you very kindly, sir!

Having built some masonry domes, I have found that just using pure Portland cement with no sand or aggregate is near water proof. Paint it on. Borrowed that from an NGO that used it to seal cisterns in Chile.

You're the man. I literally type in the search bar for videos like this and get nothing this good. So finally your video just popped up in my algorithm videos I might like..

[fvrrljr]

interesting. i collect stuff that gets thrown away from job sites. FRP's, lead covered drywall, 4x6's iron rods. i'm the guy that stacks the trash bin nicely, i stack in a way for those who come and recycle metal who do that for a living. the nuts and bolts and screws that get thrown away is sad. right now i'm a hop skip and a jump from your location, i'm in riverside. i move around in construction, and solar installation, seeing you using recycled parts gives me a warm feeling. *very interesting build*

[svetlanapil]

I love it! It's so satisfying to realize how sturdy but at the same time light this building is! And the stuccoed walls and roof just please my eyes! Love it!

[boxbawks]

I've been using this method ever since watching your garage build, and I absolutely love it! Made a 6x10 slab, small (14-16") retainer wall, and used a kids pool as a form to make a small in ground concrete pool for my dogs. I personally recommend using either recycled wire fencing, or anything thicker than chicken wire, in the center for reinforcement as the long term structural capacity is still in the air... but for anything non structural, this is the way to go! Saves a ton of money in materials!

My next project will be to pour my driveway with it to see how well it holds up.

Another great video, I have my StyroAirCrete house,
40’ x 32’ about 75% complete, in the dry with electrical, water and sewage rough connected. I have less than $17000.00 invested in it so far. Had to change a few ideas, but all in all it’s coming along great. I have done 98% by myself.
Thanks for sharing your ideas.

set up a patreon so we can fund your continued research.

[ohsweetmystery]

Don't mind the negative comments. This was an excellent video. All the basic information needed for someone to do a similar project. You did use some specialty equipment, but you still made it clear how it can be done without it. Thanks for uploading.

[nwbudro]

This looks exciting. The amount of unusual required equipment (mixer, foamer, shredder, etc) as well as workspace looks daunting compared to stick built. It's kinda hard to start small, experiment, learn, and then expand.

[stephenowens]

Brilliant to see the building finished, That's one sweet project Steve you should be proud mate. Thanks for sharing👍

[davidmadison]

I'm retired in the Philippines and looking for alternative building methods. The traditional building here is a steel reinforced concrete post and beam system then closed in with hollow blocks filled with mortar then cement plastered inside and out. Just an incredible amount of time and material involved.

[cattalkbmx]

Wow, that's incredible. The roof looks so good I thought it was metal before you got to that part. Thanks so much for sharing this technique and information.

[expatinthephilippines]

I just discovered your channel.
I built 1 of the original Integrated Concrete Form (ICF) homes in Louisville, and our now we have moved to an island paradise where we built our 700 square meter concrete home by the ocean. We are energy efficient homesteaders living an Awesome life.
From my experience with ICF, your construction methods have worthwhile potential for builders and homesteaders who want to build energy and cost efficient buildings.
I look forward to seeing more of your videos and techniques.
Continued Success!

Note1: what is an interesting concept that my friends were doing was shredding another material and mixing it to create highly resilient concrete. Maybe we can talk about their concept in the future. Cheers!

Note 2: I have a great concrete painting tip for you as well.

Your video production capabilities are greatly appreciated. It makes it easier to quickly understand what is happening. Actually, you go a little too fast sometimes. But YouTube has a couple of fixes for that.
Anyway, I have been thinking on the StyroAirCrete for the last 24 hours after watching this video.
And here is an idea/suggestion that came to me which I think could be worthwhile: Incorporate insulated glass block into your walls.
What do you think of that? I mean, you have done great amounts of proof-of-concept already. So I figure you would have valuable suggestions/remarks about this.
And thanks for the great content.👍

Metal roofing panel are cut to custom sizes and can be manipulated to achieve the desired curvature. A lot easier to make larger panels as well as assembling and disassembling them. Because the panels overlap every 3 feet, you can make a perfectly round mold. Your sharing is appreciated, thank you sir!

[hardworkingamerican]

For you, where you live, it cost you 1600 dollars . The majority of us don't have the knowledge experience and significant tools with the space and outbuildings to do all this .
I am very intrigued by this method as it seems very versatile . The cost would be much more for me out here in California but still far cheaper than other ways that are as sound as this . This building is not the same as corrugated metal one assembled with sheetmetal screws . It's like a work of art . Thanks for showing us this method of building and giving good explanations of as you go through the process .

[DocJaeBass]

A great job of the recap of the whole project. Your work with this shed and your workshop are exceptionally informative and highly motivational. Thanks for all the clear information. I'm absolutely looking forward to your next project - and those of your followers should they share them with you. I have property in Montana with 40 below winters. I have a log cabin but will absolutely build with this method on the next project. I am also considering building with this system in the Philippines. From one extreme to the other!

[hopechannelcat]

greatly enjoy watching your videos and seeing the progress you've made in comparison to others. thanks

[mckimmym]

This seems extremely labor and time intensive. I love the idea of recycled materials but it needs to be simplified and scalable. Hopefully people can run with it and make improvements
