As Lumber Prices Surge, Hemp Blocks Get a Closer Look
I don't understand why we have an aversion to change. Maybe we just like to complain instead of accepting innovation.

If the housing contractors started using hemp to build houses, guess what happens, the price of wood comes down, and you get to build your work bench, OR, better yet, use hemp wood to build your work bench. Hemp, it's not just building blocks. Wood, clothing and other items are made from hemp. HempWood, Harder than American Hardwood and more Eco-Friendly - ArchiExpo e-Magazine

I don't really understand your agenda by being critical with your comments about complaining and being critical and adverse to change. You don't know me and I think you are being unkind. |

Yes, we will. It's sad though that it takes us so long to see change. It took 25 years for salt water pools to make it here from Australia.

I would not invest in a business to manufacture building materials made of Hemp....to replace wood.... Just look at CURRENT pricing....as it is goes down.... DIMENSION LUMBER $$$ per One Thousand Board Feet... JUNE 11, 2020.................................. $ 360.40 MAY 07. 2021............................$1700.00 JUNE 14. 2021............................$ 966.20 This Commodity is already on its way back down...... ....... ... PAGE NOT FOUND ....using the S.W.A.G. approach..... ..........I am guessing $ @ LESS than $ 475.00 by JULY 2022 Last edited by mrfixit; 06-15-2021 at 01:17 AM. Reason: tmi |

He's not talking about substituting a sheet of plywood with a sheet of hemp. He's talking about INCLUDING hemp in construction wherever it's appropriate to do so. And by doing that, the price of wood goes down because of supply/demand. The less you need wood, the lower its price. This isn't about replacing wood with hemp. It's about supplementing wood construction materials with hemp materials to keep overall costs down. |

I just bought a workbench made out of bamboo. There are alternatives out there.

made of Hemp....to replace wood.... To each his own. I would invest. Hemp is stronger than wood, does not burn, or get termites. It may even bring insurance prices down, since it doesn't burn.

I have bamboo floors in my cottage. They seem to be very tough and they look good.

Yes, there are alternatives. I'm anxious to have a house built from hemp.
