That looks very cool. Not sure I'm convinced its as structurally sound as nails framing and sheathing. And also, I wonder how you do your plumbing and electrical.

Pretty neat, though.

It would be more fun to build for sure! I was thinking about your citadel. I guess it's coming up to that time of year again soon?

I am already at the 3rd visit, some repairs after a heavy winter.
Tomorrow will go again, need to lift the big window. I don't like it now, is too low.
And also I hope will finish the front stonewall.
I start early this year. Good weather.

I hope this stuff ain't flammable!

it's the structure, not the cover.... the foam burns but not with flames. Is literally stopping flames.
anything can be flammable in the end.

Be wary of that reconstituted wood material the blocks appear be be covered with.
The glue used to bind it can release formaldahyde and other toxic chemicals.
If the interior of ther blocks is polystyrene I would also be very wary for similar reasons including fire risk.
Natural materials are usually best even if the skill to use them takes some time to acquire.
Build something to last, with natural materials that will not be a toxic waste dump emitting toxic fumes all the while you live in it.
