Follow Up to email sent Aug 5, 15

Hey @StLHandyMan! We would love to discuss working together.  Post-Frame Advantage Email our Communications Manager (Greg Blosser) at glossier@connect2amc.com to see how we can help one another. Thanks for connecting! Mr G Blosser and Post Frame Advantage, Background: I've been building and utilizing post frame construction techniques to build economical buildings for awhile now.  This was mostly done in rural america where I grew up.  In drafting college we also utilized this construction technique in a few of the classes. What I'm writing to you about are some upcoming Green and Sustainable Building Contests in which I will be presenting the "Post Frame Build Principles" that utilizes a natural, sustainable, and highly energy efficient building product called: Hempcrete as the wall system. I'd love to collaborate with your company on these contests and to promote your Low Lumber requirements for Buildings that don't require slaying so many trees. Build Green, Scotty CC: Bruce

Mr Blosser,

Let me start out by saying I look forward to exploring this building technique that I feel has great potential for future sustainable buildings.  I am in no way pointing out that your company's existing building system is lacking in any way.  I want to introduce you to

(1) a wall system that eats/absorbs the pollution that is causing climate change.

(2) Hempcrete Fire Resistant Home Theory by Scotty Will Hempcrete Save the Day for all future homes located in Fire Prone areas? Yes I believe its possible with Hempcrete and I can't wait to test my ... a theory I've developed that will allow me to build what I believe will be very fire resistant building that could possibly withstand a forest fire.

Afterwards I'll share the information on the contests I will be entering this type of building system in.

What is Hempcrete

First let me introduce you to Hempcrete.  The majority of this information was compiled from the internet and people that have been using hempcrete in the Europe and North America. ^[1]

• Hempcrete is a bio-composite made of the inner woody core of the hemp plant mixed with a lime-based binder. The hemp core or “Shiv” has a high silica content which allows it to bind well with lime. This property is unique to hemp among all^[2]
•  Hempcrete is a building material that incorporates hemp into its mixture.Hempcrete is very versatile as it can be used for wall insulation, flooring, walls, roofing and more. It's fire-proof, water-proof, and rot-proof as long as it's above ground^[3]
• Hempcrete is a natural, energy efficient building and insulating product^[4]

^[5]

^[7]

This is the first Hempcrete Home that was built in America^[8]

^[9][10][11]

From my research this home was constructed using typical 2x4 framing and then the Hempcrete walls were built around the wood frame.

We both know that structures do not need all that wood to frame and support a building.  I feel that traditional stick frame buildings are wasteful in lumber useage.  I'm not necessarily a tree hugger but I do understand that Trees are needed to remove the Carbon from the Air that is causing Global Warming.  And from my college drafting classes^[12] where estimating was a required class I understand that Post Frame Construction uses less lumber.

I've fiddled around and designed a home that utilizes the Post Frame Construction and requiresZero Lumber needed in the Roof System^[13].  This is where I first developed the theory that I could build a home that required little to no lumber and if the windows were shuttered would allow the building to withstand a forest fire.

One of the reasons I feel this type of building system will work is because after I designed the building I then shared it with a European Hemp Building Expert Greg Flavall-Q-n-A with HEMP Building Expert: Mr. Greg Flavall Co-Founder and Technical Director at Hemp-Technologies on the Hemp Home design by Scotty #HempBuilding #IndustrialHemp #GreenBuilding of Hemp Technologies

• He suggested a Vegetative Roof system but I don't feel comfortable growing vegetation on a roof and believe they should house Solar Panels instead.
• 
  
• At the time I designed this building I was not fully aware that the other parts of the Hemp plant can be used to make Bricks.  
• 
  
• I designed that building and the buttresses to support actual heavy bricks.  I feel that buttresses could be eliminated by band joists or cables that hold the sides of the building plumb.  

•  Such as the design used on this future hemp home design by http://hempsteads.info/new-hempstead-homestead-woodfin-nc

Since I've been living in StLouis the past few years I've learned how to lay bricks, tuckpointing, and other masonry fields of experience.  The Spanish Masons that build those Catalan or Boveda Vault Style Roofs are Masters in their fields.  They build those roofs on the fly and do not use any supports while building them.  Some great Masons taught me but they couldn't hold a candle to those guys and how they build those kool roofs/ceilings- only Picasa has done kooler ceilings in my book.  The youtube videos explain it best and I have a few collected at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB8TWMKHHMQ

I've mentioned that Hempcrete is Fire Resistant^[14] Here is you tube video that supports my theory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeW6kuZgPY4

The above pictures are not exactly how I would build hemp home.  They are just examples that are out of the box and could be constructed out of local resources: ie: rubble foundation.  I would personally recommend using a monolithic type slab that incorporated a radiant floor system.  Or built on any standard basement wall.  

My Father is planning on building a similar type structure in the next year or so.  He's mentioned going real old school and using the trees off his ranch and not necessarily traditional lumber.  Since he lives out in the country he doesn't have to worry about the Building Codes that most of the World adheres too.  It'll be interesting to see what he comes up with to say the least.

Contests

For a year or so now I've been trying to get the DOE and Oak Ridge Laboratory to consider this type of construction.  I haven't had any luck yet.  It seems the Labs are all about "Chemical" stuff and insulation.  They are missing the boat in my opinion.  One way or the other I'm going to at least make them consider using hempcrete by entering into their contests.  I maybe unsuccessful but at least I tried.  To improve my chances of success in this round of project submittal I'm going to follow their guidelines and attempt to get a company such as yours involved and listed on my documents.  Your company has the name and proven low lumber required building system.  And I have the idea of incorporating hempcrete into the design.  I believe this could be beneficial to not only your organization but also the future of buildings.

There is a contest also coming up in Chi-town that is all about Sustainable buildings and they want to work with local midwestern companies.  I actually feel that I'll have a better shot of possibly winning this contest.

   

Respectfully Submitted for your consideration and look forward to your reply.

Build Green,

Scotty

PS: My first of three invention were funded yesterday.  It is a mobile field processing system that eliminates the high cost of the million dollar hemp processing facilities.  My entire goal is to create affordable hemp products that anyone could use and that is what my inventions are leading to.  I've been two years getting to this stage and I'm not slowing down its full speed ahead now.

__________________________________________________

Added 8/7/15:  After sending the above email out yesterday.  Mr G Flavall, http://www.hemp-technologies.com; contacted me from New Zealand about the Post Frame Building Process.  

• He informed me that his company has already proven the Pole Barn / Post Frame Construction process in Europe with success.  
• He mentioned that when the building was finished no-one could tell that it utilized a post frame structure to support the Building.

•  This adds credence to my theory: "Who Cares what's inside a wall" as long as it:

• 1) supports the building,
• 2) meets building code requirements,
• 3) Sustainable and uses less lumber,
• 4) He also mentioned that increasing the stud spacing to 24 inches has become the norm and another project even stretched the spacing even further because the Hempcrete around the stud walls acted as both "Support and Insulation"- the best of both worlds.
• 5) And most importantly is "Energy Efficient".

Prototype Seeks Funding

For everyone who has been waiting on an economical Hemp Field Processing Unit that you won't have to rob a bank for I have great news!

Hemp Farmers and Hemp Industry Organizations are going to have an option rather than purchasing a multi million dollar hemp processing facility.  MOhemp Energy mobile Hemp Harvesting and Processing equipment will allow people to get in the Hemp business on the cheap!

You will not have to spend Millions of $ Dollars $ to get into the Hemp business! 

 As quoted by one of the Start Up advisers: "Your invention could be the Holy Grail of the Hemp Industry."

Startup Lesson: Industry Players vs Non Industry People

One thing I've learned when talking to Hemp and Agriculture People vs those outside the business is: People in Agriculture understand Agriculture terms used in my startup pitch deck.

Here's a simple example:  I mentioned a drill the other day to a non ag person.  "He asked how big of a hole?"  When I mention a drill to an Ag person; they understand I'm talking about a seeder or planter that "puts the seeds into the ground".  The one simple word has very different meanings.

I also learned that it takes me more time to explain farming techniques and less time is spent on talking about my inventions or MOhemp Energy:

• such as crop rotation, 
• planting or harvesting are times often determined by weather conditions, 
• the difference between a combine or a harvester...

The greatest thing about pitching to Agriculture Industry Players is that they want to see Farmers succeed.  They understand that Farming is the most important industry in the World.  Farmers create the most treasured resource: Food.

Adviser Spoke-I was all ears

This isn't a word by word quote in the order we talked about things, its just how my mind seemed to examine and digest the wisdom before I make a financial mistake and how I've solved a few of the issues needed to address and overcome that he mentions in re to the MOhemp Energy Mobile Processing Station.

(1) the USA market is not ready for mass use from end users of Industrial Hemp in America.

(2) Competition from outside USA where labor is cheap in production of (example) Hemp fibers or hurds makes for a tough sale in USA. Especially since we don't manufacture much and demand is low right now.

(3) Hemp is so disruptive to so many businesses our Govt would rather pass Medical cannabis than Industrial Hemp -which is completely backwards to conventional wisdom.

(4) Hemp products are/is expensive in USA. If for example Hemp became legal to grow Nationwide the price of seeds would go sky high due to supply and demand and there wouldn't be enough seeds to meet this demand.

(5) There are existing Canadian buyers of Hemp Hurds but the price is so low because of the existing Lumber supplies that are fulfilling and meeting this need right now- is what prohibits a more widespread use of Hemp OSB panels.

He mentioned more but I feel that is enough background from someone who has 15 plus years more experience than myself in the Hemp and Flax Industry.

Now I see why it is important to have Advisers to a startup and I realized a few things that I have done wrong in presenting my startup business plan, that has been evolving night and day as I put the final pieces of the puzzle together.

• I need to do a better job of explaining the MOhemp Energy system and processes of the Mobile Processing System that eliminates the $14,000,000 Hemp processing plant- such as the one planned in Oklahoma.

• The Numbers not the Inventions need to clear and understandable.

• I have to have end product users (pre-arranged). More than likely this is supplying an existing manufacture a raw material.

in the next MOhemp Blog Post I will go in details on

how I have considered and overcame all his suggestions

by the Mobile Hemp Processing System. The only thing

I've yet to solve is the end product buyers.

They will be the last piece needed to the puzzle.

Here are some more pieces to the big puzzle on why Industrial Hemp is gaining ground in the USA

Hemp For Victory 2016

Big clue today July 31, 2016: Ukraine- lots of Hemp seeds, needs income. Russia, cut aid to Ukraine. I'm putting 2+2 together.

I predict: Hemp For Victory Round 2, Spring Planting 2016.

Bringing back Industrial Hemp will jump-start American jobs and Small business and Make it disruptive to the existing biz as usual for American Big Companies- who also are the Republicans Repukitans base for the $$$ polluting the Politics of the USA.

Taking power away from big businesses who are and did sell out the American workers by outsourcing jobs overseas. President Obama realizes this and also realizes that by legalizing both Medical and Industrial Cannabis he is ultimately giving the people a fighting chance against the powers who have keep the average Americans struggling and under the thumb of Big Business Interest and overshadowed their voices in Washington and Life in the real World.

Will Hemp For Victory Round 2 be the cure all for America's Ills? Maybe not all but it will damn sure help a few. And I personally can't wait to work directly with the Farmers who will lead the resurgence of American Productivity and jobs that all start on the Farm! The added benefits will be the lessening of the grip that big business has on Washington.

Remember all these new Industrial Hemp and Medical Cannabis ventures are small new disruptive businesses that will take the power or $ money $ out of the big business coffers.

Hemp For Victory Round 2 coming spring 2016- in time for planting season. Are you prepared to meet this new demand?

I am Scotty MOhemp Energy.

“We are now involved in trying to figure out ways in which we might be able to use the industrial hemp seeds that are created in the Ukraine in the U.S.,” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said yesterday in an interview. 

Hempcrete Fire Resistant Home Theory by Scotty

Will Hempcrete Save the Day for all future homes located in Fire Prone areas? Yes I believe its possible with Hempcrete and I can't wait to test my theory out!

 Watch this video how this hempcrete wall sample stands up to a blow torch and you tell me: Do you think a hempcrete home like Scotty designed stand up to a forest fire?

Just like the video shows a layer of fire-resistant covering I believe will enable a home to survive a forest fire as long as windows and doors were shuttered.  This is Scotty's theory that has not been tested yet.

Scottys Theory: Hempcrete Exterior Covering adds Fire-Resistant Properties to a home

For added protection if I lived in a Forest Fire Zone similar to what happens in the Western States every year and is currently ravaging the Lake Berryessa California Area: The Wragg Fire, burning on the southern end of Lake Berryessa, Calif., flared up again Tuesday afternoon, burning an additional 150 acres. July 28, 2015.  I would also add Hempcrete to the Roof of the Building such as this design.

Scottys Theory: Hempcrete Roof adds Fire-Resistant Properties

I have been in contact with a Home Builder and Building Supply Store in Northern Arizona who also believes that we can build a Fire Resistant Home!

Will Hempcrete Save the Day for all future homes located in Fire Prone areas?  Stay Tuned.  I will soon be testing this theory out and submit my findings to Building Industry Personnel- with testing data that either proves or dis-proves my theory.



Trendsetting Energy Efficient and Low Lumber requirement Home Designs by Scotty, will they be Fire Resistant and stand up to a raging forest fire?  I hope so for the sake of everyone who lives in a fire prone area.
