A hempcrete floor would still require concrete strip footings. Hempcrete has been used to insulate floors such as in the Hempcrete house at Table Cape in Tasmania, but in that case the hemcrete was neither structural nor the finished floor surface.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204882245755573344.post-31035539877539617192014-02-24T00:59:51.509-08:002014-02-24T00:59:51.509-08:00I'm interested to know why you chose a concret...I'm interested to know why you chose a concrete over a hempcrete floor?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694487145238008373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204882245755573344.post-18963491504945282642013-02-14T04:12:45.853-08:002013-02-14T04:12:45.853-08:00Huge congratulations to the three of you, Kirstie,...Huge congratulations to the three of you, Kirstie, Ben and Zan. The house isn't finished, but making the dream of the hemp construction into a reality, learning and growing with the walls, is adventure and it's what living is about. I'm sure that the three of you will carry that achievement with you all your long lives, and if it's been tough at times, you walk taller as a result.<br /><br />Thanks for giving us the opportunity to share just a little bit of your dream with you.<br /><br />Love,<br />Martin and NeriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
