Hurrah the hemcrete is sprayed. It is a bit less flat than we hoped it could be, but that should be evened out by the plaster
In the end they only used about 2000l of water not the 6000l they said they needed and we had on hand (having bought lots of huge containers)
The machine sounds quite exciting. The water and lime are mixed in the cement mixer and poured in to the machine, and the hemp is added dry. Then they are both fired out and mix in the air before splatting on to the wall. This results in a much airier structure on the wall than packing it in by hand which is more insulating. Much quicker too - although the finish is less flat...
Now we need to prepare for the heating system install...
