i didn't have time or money or patients for all that but yeah, i invented styrocrete too.... i made a hundred squares, six at a time to 38X38X3, i used bean bag filling, i mixed the styrofoam and cement first then added water. I attached the squares with mortar. My pump house has been out there since 1982, it outlived the pump and the well and now the grand daughters use it as a fairy house and there are no boys allowed....

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.

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 .

With the old time plasterers, they would put a pigment right in the last coat of mortar and it would never need painting at all. You could get almost any color.

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 UKposts 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.👍

Been following along since the beginning. Patiently waiting for an update or showing how the roof copes with winter weather. Your styroaircrete placing method is sort of like a slip form. I’m curious if you could simply use the inner form and tool the styroaircrete from the outside by screeding along the arch form. Maybe do short lifts of a foot or so where the arch is more vertical?

Ever since I first saw earthbag, rammed earth and later aircrete domes I've wondered about using a metal sprayer to coat the outside with aluminum. I'm not sure the ideal thickness for such an aluminum shell, but it would be pretty weather resistant and there would be lots of options for finishing it.

Interesting idea! I wonder about the cost of aluminum compared to stucco? We are testing a self-healing stucco formula now! Subscribe to be notified!

Maybe an aluminum powder mix into a thin layer of stucco, then heat blasted to melt the outer aluminum together.

REALLY like using recycled packaging waste for building - Well Done, Mate !! Ever consider making an ICF type block? Your Styrocrete on the sides with a pattern for poured concrete with openings for utilities and rebar in between (Code Compliant) ?? If the Styrocrete had screws in a pattern facing into the concrete pour, it would be laminated well A format similar to size of 4x4 of cinder blocks, would be mighty easy to work (Sailor, yes; getting old and thinking a Homestead might be smarter than fighting storms and expensive marinas....)
@AbundanceBuild
@AbundanceBuild 11 місяців тому
Thank you! I doubt it would be code compliant without official testing. To make an ICF block out of this stuff you would need a hydraulic press to get it to bond properly - we are focusing more on the DIYer for now! Subscribe for new builds coming soon!

great work , I love the low cost. Some people might strengthen the walls to floor slab by drilling the concrete slab and fit galvanised starter bars 18 inches long , as you fill the walls it will give that extra bit of lateral strength in case you get earthquakes. Same with the ridge joint , you could bend up galvanised rebar into a Vee shape and add them to strengthen the ridge peak , better a little too much than 1 % too little :)

Hi, I've been following you for a while now and love the build . I was just wondering, a year later , could we see how the styrocrete is holding out? What your experience is? Waterproof proofing, any shrinkage / cracking issues. And any thoughts on if you had to do it again , is there anything you would do differently, like, maybe thicker insulation and waterproofing?

I really like the way you have developed the styro aircrete material and see the logic of having a formable aggregate that won't collapse in use and in fact has to be compacted. This seems to open up the possibility of placing it using a cob technique rather than pouring it into the formwork? From your experience do you think it possible to make a stiff enough mix that it could be hand placed to create freeform 3D compound curve sculptural structures that could then have a bonded ferrocement layer applied for structural tensile and compressive strength? The freeform structures I want to make will ultimately be buried and landscaped so having a material that is water tolerant like styro aircrete seems a perfect fit to make sculptural formwork? Also just wondering if you have experimented with fibre reinforcement like polypropylene or hemp? Thanks for sharing your work.

Working on apartments as a carpenter here in Texas, they use a lot of stucco finish. For the final stucco coat lots of guys use a texture gun and hopper like drywall finishers use indoors for texturing drywall. Nothing fancy and just a normal size compressor used for just one texture gun. As for the brown and scratch coat they used the normal trowel technique.
