  1. Wow! I love this.

    I’d like to see it in the field and see how MEP trades adjust to working with it.

    Also thinking that if this is placed on top of a concrete slab, would the below grade blocks be necessary on the bottom course?

    Also how do they do when anchored into? Like hanging a TV?

    SO MANY QUESTIONS!?!?! Any builders using this?

  2. CO2 has greened the planet by 20% according to NASA. Most temperature rise since the terrible Little Ice Age happened prior to the increase in CO2 due to industrialization

  3. Some hemp related produces burn quite nicely, if I do say so myself.😉 my stalks were 3" diameter this last season, got pounds of great stuff. It grows well around many different kinds of vegetable crops, i suggest everybody grow whether you like them buds or not. We need the air cleaners and moisture content back in the ground! Tell mom i stay hi.

  4. Is this product "waterproof" by nature or does it require the lime coating around it to keep the water out of the hemp material. Would the blocks expand were they to soak in water? If one of these homes was built in either a high rain environment or a frequent flood zone, would the house "melt" if it got wet. You mention it's waterproof at 7:03, but I wondered if that's only when it's sealed.

  5. But we need co2 carbon in the atmosphere we are now at the lowest co two level we have ever had if it goes much lower your hemp will not grow along with many other plants

  6. Dogs and weed are two of my favorite gifts from God. And let’s keep it real: Hemp is just a strain of weed that has had the fun bred out of it. The structure of the cannabis plant’s stalk is amazing for its strength and utility. If it hasn’t had the THC bred out of it, that’s just icing on the cake.

  7. in addition to the conduit holes, there should be grooves on the top and bottom of each block to form horizontal conduit channels. also, to speed up construction, rather than some kind of mortar buttered onto each row, lay a compressible sill sealer between the courses to block air. lay down a course of blocks, roll out the sill sealer the length of the wall, then lay the next row on top of it. then, either, the sill sealer strip can be left intact so that, when you put the next block on top of it, the sealer is squeezed into the hole that the green pegs fit into, thus making a tighter connection; or, the sealer strip could come ready-made with holes cut into it that perfectly match the position of the pegs.

  8. You should contact the major contracting firm in the top 100 cities in the US, (more if u can get the info) and lead with the price (so they keep reading) followed immediately by the superior quality… This is a wonderful product!
