Dustcrete FAQ Part 2
Having lived in our dustcrete addition for two years, I have realized many things. Viewers of this channel have had questions, as well. After witnessing the durability, low cost, construction ease, and thermal efficiency of this material, I now prefer it to straw bale, cob, aircrete, and slipstraw. In this video, and previous, I answer the most frequently asked questions from the comments section of my original dustcrete video.

Rotted all of them from inside out in less than 20 yrs , soooo hard wood western ceder or redwood. Water sealer or tar on those 24 inch lengths. No splitting. Spray foam them only on ends. Nothing in middle air has r values. Dead air as well , vents at top, to draw oth the air heavy lime, stucco. Over foam. And 8 foot porch eves all around, all sides, , then ceder lap over that inside n out , or steal, cement board they make also dissolves. So the 8 foot over hang porches and 24 inches. 36. 48 inches off the ground, wicking. No cement slab. Unless its syryofoamed all sides especially the bottom first , yep all sides, .makes no sense to leave cement slaps un insulated and on flat ground needs. To be on tall bearm of gravel, , the illuminate takes out mine now its slab is gonna be a pool. N ill build this for the new pool cover over whole slab, but on peir n beam on top of slab , great job, steal roof. And 8 foot steal wrap around roof porches,, next thank me later
