  Matt. We need a series on hempcrete construction details! Door, window,  framing,  roofing details.

  Hempcrete is fireproof, bugproof, rat and rodent proof, moderates humidity levels. Therefore has museum quality air that provides an environment  where you can store papers, books, material, metal without degrading. Great wall material to live in, grow in, and store in.  I plan on using it as an infill for a geodesic dome, which is more of a suspension building, that will not be taken down by hurricanes. Try to blow this one down you crazy old wolf! lol Good luck to everyone in their endeavors.

  &quot;There&apos;s nothing here you smoke or get high on&quot;<br>I guess no building material is perfect

  Somebody’s got some big bucks. &nbsp;Can’t believe how much that house costs.

  I wish people and governments would free the mass growing of hemp and save cutting down trees. Ford revolutionised hemp/ resin panels, nearly indestructible. They could smash it with hammer and it wouldn&apos;t dent.

  I&apos;ve been using hempcrete in Ireland for the last five years. &nbsp;Very sustainable system, and cost effective too.

  Please keep looking into more green and alternative housing solutions. I&apos;d love to see a video on straw bale construction.<br><br>EDIT: Hijacking my comment to talk about something in the video. The guy says that the lime mix absorbs CO2 which makes it greener. This is partially true, lime does pull CO2 out of the air to form calcium carbonate BUT all commercial lime starts out as from limestone (calcium carbonate) that is baked at high temperatures. When used lime might be considered carbon-neutral (reabsorbing its previous carbon emissions), but only if you don&apos;t take into account the large amount of energy that goes into baking limestone to form lime. <br><br>This method of building is still very eco-friendly.
