LIME PLASTER: The CHEAPEST and MOST DURABLE SIDING that's been Time-tested for 1000's of years!

Will this withstand hairline cracks when a nail is hammered into that wall?

Just stucco

Thanks!

I like your presentation. I am building a new home with Perfect Block ICCF and am looking for a lost cost way to give the board and batten look. (Wife is set on Modern farmhouse). Steel siding is way out of this world in price, vinyl (will never use anyway) isn't that much cheaper than steel ( material cost). I am thinking maybe I can create a smooth surface with lime plaster and add some sort of battens??

Any thoughts, anyone?

Also, how is the paintability of the lime plaster being that the breathable aspect is not a concern here?

Great video! Thank you!

Does this stick to raw adobe walls?

CAN YOU GET AWAY WITH 2 THICKER COATS?

can you use this on green sip system OSB?

The foot coming out of the pet door at the end... LOL

Can I put it directly on wood siding, instead of vinyl siding?

Hi, your video is amazing thank you! Would this technique work on an earthbag dome exterior and interior? Meaning a structure that doesn’t has a roof and with the roundness?
Thank you again!!

Well done video. I have a fiber cement siding and I am curious if I can just throw this up or do I need a mesh? The underneath of the siding is not even sheathed to my knowledge but it has water resistant wrap.

Heirloom what your take on coloring wall, add pigments to the lime putty OR pigment in a watery slip and brush it on ?

The materials might be cheaper but the labor is very expensive.

I love working with lime, but the notion that it is carbon neutral is absurd. The amount of energy needed to burn limestone in a kiln far exceeds the CO2 that it will reabsorb, and this doesn't even take into account the energy needed to dig it out of the ground and transport it. My father was a project manager in a limestone quarry and worked there for many decades. The co2 they produced was off the scale.

I have a moble how can I save it the exterior walls are shot

Can you put lime plaster over a stucco house? Can it be put on wood eaves in fire prone areas? When you put over your earthplaster house, dont need prep except water wall? Do you make your lime putty as seemed expensive (thought ~$11/50lb bag Hyd. lime). Very fun, like your helpers also ! How often will it need a recoat?

Very good! Subscribed!

I am building a tiny house
Can i put this on wood?

I want to construct my home this year. I live in Mexicali. B.C. México. It's one of the most hottest cities in the world. But we have higher dosis of chloride in our water..I listen that lime works better if you use sea water, would you recommend it?

Hey! Not sure if you would know, but would it work to have the outer layer of a straw house be made out of brick? I am wondering what the logistics of building a house like this in an area with heavy snow as well as monsoon seasons. I think that the insulation and fire resistance of straw bale homes would be perfect where I live, but water resistance is very important as is pest prevention, and I'm wondering if even a brick wainscotting would help? Or would it stifle the natural breathing process of the house? To my understanding brick breathes pretty well.

Love your video ❤ thank you … BUT when the small child in the red coat walked by I got the shivers … it totally made me think of the movie “Don’t Look Now!” With Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland … highly recommend it. Scary!!!

I don't care about carbon. It doesn't matter. Why to bring up this carbon conspiracy theory in lime plaster video? 🙄

The list of people that give a fuck If lime putty is carbon neutral is probably comically long

I'm building in six months and always wanted a lime plastered exterior. Can I lime plaster straight onto bricks? Thinking of using the usual cheaper brick commons used in similar rendering situations. Let me know if I'm over thinking it and I should just go with the brick (its easily available, lots of brickies about to lay them), trust the DIY lime plastering process with good prep, safety and good tools and it will work out fine. Thanks.

How about using Diathonite plaster
Wyndmoor PA USA

Can you put it on wood

Why is there that wavy line closer to the top that looks like a big crack or change in material?

Great video, thank you for sharing the secrets! We are about to embark on our first lime plaster adventure here in France.

Once you open the lime plaster door.... you can’t go back. Ancient objects to the new Apple building , it’s such a secret in modern times

Lime plaster is amazing stuff…who wouldn’t want their home encased in limestone?!! We are building with like here in SE AZ and are using it on our hyperadobe builds. Great video and info!

Wow! I am super inpressed I live in the East Texas Region is there a difference for this type of climate and what kind of strae bails can I use here.I want to buikd my nest House this way for sure.

Subscribed! Can I use lime plaster instead of concrete for an underground dome home?

Where do you buy the lime putty from? I can't find it anywhere but online and shipping is expensive.

In the UK lime putty used to be made with burnt lime and not hydrated lime.

A cubic foot of lime putty costs you $540? Seriously?? I can make 2.5 from a $20 bag of lime powder.

Would steel framing work or is wood better for straw bail?
Edit: did some research, it's condensation, so you can if you cover them in wood. But how much support do the walls themselves need if the roof is fully supported by steel framing? Like if you leave the beams outside the walls, kinda like porch roof supports and then have the walls farther in with the wood to raise it off the concrete, wood at the top where it meats the roof, and wherever there are windows and doors. How much wooden support would the walls need? Also, can you make rounded walls?

Could I do this on a square log dovetail cabin ? The logs are about 6 inches thick, how would I apply this lime plaster onto the logs? There is cedar siding on it now

can you get this type of lime at lowes or HD?

Thanks Gentleman the detailed information for Lime you served here are all very useful to needy ones

Thank you for video!
Good luck!!!

Thank You SO MUCH for Teaching this recipe 🙏🚂🎼🌹🎵🎶⚕️ ~C< 3)>>-Z->}

Just a wall. less unneeded words let you use your yap system less, and cause less irritation.

Question I have a 1970 barn that I’m turning into my home it has shiplap siding, but the inside is not finished yet all open to siding inside no housewrap What would you do? I feel like taking it off. Could break a lot of the wood. It’s a cedar barn.

Excellent presentation,
Great teaching!
Curious: would you suggest using this finish on a cement dome?

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful video!
Any advice on replacing vinyl siding with lime plaster?

Thank you

Wait,you say i make it at home?how to make marmorino for floor,or somethig similar?Thanx

Thanks for the excellent video. What about cracking due to temperature and humidity variations? I am in zone five, we get very cold and hot / humid. Is there a maximum distance that should be divided by a control joint? Old European buildings with stucco always seem to be broken up into segments.

Thanks alot amazing video
