Ho HI !! Yeah i saw many of your videos on YT. You've done many things you and your family ! Tank you to share your experience.
OK. Tank you.
Mmmm.. I'm surprised too read that. I would say that LSC is better that hemp. Hempcrete is a lot more wet, with less air and more dense. Like the typical "ball test " you can do with the mix to know if it's a good mix.
And the fiber is cut fine to be able to pack it very tight in bags, like wood shave bedding bags.
But i've never tried LSC,, So.
I have Lydia Doleman book.
Like hempcrete, it's possible to make a too wet mix and loose R value, but from what i saw in videos and pictures, i'm more concerned about having a "too soft" wall that doesn't hold well together compare to hemp.
If a hit an hempcrete ( without plaster ) wall with my hand, it's very hard and nothing happen, but " i think " that if i do that on LSC wall , my hand will go " in the wall ", Am i right ??
It would be interesting to have a comment from somebody who used both, but R value seems to be difficult to establish. Not just a matter of R but also the heating system, the design of the house, etc..
By the way, what do you think of 1500 ft2 of outside wall alone.....? : ) I'm not expecting to do that in one season if we consider how many weeks it takes to dry, so it's ready before winter.
Mmmmm you know what, maybe it's better if you don't tell me !! Hahaha
Tanks again !
