The Hempstead
We began this process nearly three years ago with our first Hempcrete Week workshop series back in October of 2020. Since then, the project has evolved quite a bit. The Hempstead will be a three bedroom bed and breakfast with two kitchens and beautiful walk around porches. Eric chose to use the Ereasy system to retrofit the walls and Hemp Wool for the ceilings on this 200+ year old home. We installed about 1200 ft of hempcrete in only 4 days of spraying.

The Hempstead Caretaker's Cottage
The Caretakers Cottage at the Hempstead is a hempcrete retrofit project where we gutted and prepped a one hundred year old tool shed to become a living space for guests at the bed and breakfast. Retrofitting an aging structure presents challenges that, once overcome, only sweeten the reward for persevering through the project. Hempcrete for this project was installed as part of a workshop series called Hempcrete Week that occurred at the Hempstead. This work in progress will be completed in early 2021 with a half round bathroom addition to be styled like a silo and insulated with hempcrete.
