Tour of HabLab

A

John your professional opinion for today.

B

Follow me up to that doorway to get a field in get a plastic gonna, throw in and.

A

B

Our installation then go ahead and build us back back wall up mm-hmm, then we're gonna be able to start on this center wall. Here.

A

Excellent so tell us, because I actually never covered this whole procedure. So tell me how you're doing the straw in Phil, so you do the here.

B

What we're doing is plastic on the inside wall to keep the moisture from coming in we haven't got. This part is what you did. You do put plastic we're going to put place.

C

Again, as it comes up.

B

C

B

Keep the moisture from coming all the way through and it will be really good insulation, yeah.

A

B

Value up guessing somewhere between a 20 to 22, mm-hmm.

A

B

Value which is excellent for this area, okay,.

A

That's excellent yeah, so this.

C

B

Together, this is yes,.

A

Looking good here, where.

B

Dutch bonus I came in for you feel this up through here to level it out. Yeah.

A

This is the old wall from months ago that we started now we're taking.

B

The finish that I hold up and we're working way through yeah.

A

B

That's what we're doing, however, used up the blocks and and make it look, they look dies once we get to step on it. I love.

A

It it's coming together, kadeem, wouldn't? What do you think thank.

C

You John, this is so do I think this is just seeing it in practice them you can read about it on the website. Yeah.

B

Just not the septic, the read about in on the website, and it doesn't give you just until you actually do the work yourself. Yep.

C

B

C

This in practice is amazing, I mean seeing the track to work, seeing the bricks did you guys have made and seeing a structure coming up. It's.

B

Totally different I mean actually, what forget are not.

C

On Manning.

B

On and get our our stucco put on, it would actually stiffen the wall up an extra twenty thirty percent. More and.

C

B

You don't have any anyway, there's no of voids as far as it's giving away way. It is, but something is this ice is going stupid. Tell.

A

B

Actually, resistive hurricane tell.

A

Me about the the net so we're using dear netting we're.

B

Usually down on adding the same thing is a basic, safest, want to use on that big delay, the realm bells and hate, and it actually just moms moms the mixture in with the names he.

A

Put the netting on and then the stuck.

B

On then, we put to stucco wall and actually but actually two to three coaches stuck one on the brick yourself on the outside and.

C

B

C

Yeah, did you guys bold this way before? How did you figure out how to do it? I actually.

B

Have three I did my brother? All Floyd Hammond is actually got the block machined and he did a lot of research on it and we just our building blocks and test them out to make sure we get the right consistency. Is everything like that so yeah.

A

So Floyd hagerman is our construction manager he's not here, actually he's on vacation right now but yeah. Fortunately, we have a professional CB builder like 30 miles from us here. So that's pretty good.

B

It does help who knows help out. He.

A

Saved us in this game is.

B

Yeah yeah I actually did stick Billy or did wood framing most. In fact, most of my life and and I actually mrs.. This is a lot nicer about dieter I mean I, don't say it's it's more work assistant, but after the project is done or after the building has done itself, it's gonna be soundproof. Yeah.

A

B

It's actually be axing tornado-proof, I'm not.

A

B

A

Know the concept here is that basically, we were almost like going to not do this building, but then Floyd came in and what we did is put the roof on first, so that we can. She build no matter what the weather, so that.

C

A

Way we're able to succeed this late building through the winter, so you can build this with a winter and yeah we did. A antifreeze in the mortar are.

B

We free our very switches died as a biodegradable and that's why it's so natural that way. Mm-Hmm.

A

B

Did that when my RV antifreeze is actually is drinkable, I mean you could actually drink it? If you had me, do uh-huh.

A

B

Says it's a it's! Actually, you safe for human yeah.

A

B

A

Build through the winter yeah, this.

C

Could be the first of all day with you're gonna be finishing in this way, yep.

A

C

When do you think of the finished.

A

March fifteenth is when some of the.

B

Far side chains supposed to be the deadline as far as having individual.

A

Part of this livable yeah mm-hmm, you.
