Pero estas casas le ponen mucho material sintético! Una verdadera casa de adobe no se pone foam por afuera, y no lleva estuco con alambre ! Se usa el estuco de tierra.

Admirable manera de construcción la vi muy rápido pero muy completa me pareció que es Adobe crudo de 10 30 40 no aprecie el pegamento Si es arena y cemento o es arcilla? Muy térmico Felicidades

Edith Michelle just out of curiosity how much do homes like these go for?

115k to IV seen 800k in New mexico

Probably to meet code.

Adding plastic to the mix is a terrible idea.

If you want to do it legally those without proper foundation and beans above the windows and doors are consider illegal and the city code inspector can and will harassed you all the time and even shut you down and make you tare it down threaten you with big fines just days ago building codes were finally approved nation wide for adobe homes which is a good thing because no more harassments no more fines live legally they only ask of a few things like a solid foundation footing & drainage like a foot of stone wall or concrete on top of footing then adobe after that as long as you top it again with concrete at the very top also beam wood above windows and doors proper plumbing's electrical wiring and septic tank i probably miss a few things I'm no contractor just someone who's dreaming of building an adobe home and doing some research in the matter here's the link for the adobe code regulations www.iccsafe.org/building-safety-journal/bsj-technical/cob-code-appendix-approved-for-the-2021-irc/

@@tonyv1505 thank's. That's interesting. Iove adobe homes, they are so beautiful. I was raised in New Mexico and lived in one in Santa Fe.

@@sunnyamericana2230 I grew up in the mountains in Puerto Rico our house was concrete then I decided to come live in the US, it wasn't until after the internet that I saw a Spanish style home i believe it was in Mexico that I fell in love with, I didn't know it was made with Adobe I just loved everything about it it wasn't until a few years ago when Adobe homes started becoming more popular that I realized that the Spanish style homes I fell in love with was actually made with Adobe ofcourse I called it mud homes the Adobe name never got stuck in my head lol I also realized back in the days way back here in the US homes were actually made with Adobe too, I should have paid more attention in history class lol. Alright you have a great day

The older style ones are mainly built of just adobe with plaster over it on a stone foundation I believe. I think they overcomplicated it a little. You don't really need all that mesh and insulation. The adobe itself is a very good insulator already, and the mesh just adds a bit of strength to the plaster.

Can someone answer this for me?

In traditional bricklaying we obsess to make sure all joints are formed full because of airtightness etc I was just surprised to see that it was here of less importance. Having render on both sides should make the structure airtight and weatherproof enough it seems....

I believe the materials themselves.. mostly adobe is more affordable, but the labor makes it more expensive. I heard about Marfa. I hope that doesn't happen in NM. I live in a 100+ year old large, territorial adobe and the taxes would ruin us.

You got the number mate

That looks New Mexican

The home in the video is somewhere near Taos, New Mexico. I lived in Taos county for many years and see the distinctive "Taos Mountain" (Pueblo Peak) in the background.

Most all houses in Arizona are built like this. So yeah. I think it will last with the heat and the rain. Lol

Not on the east coast too much humidity. This type of building is for arid climates.
